Photographer Krista Evans has shot over 50 births, but few images bare more resonance to her than the ones featuring dads falling instantly in love with their babies.

"As a birth photographer I have the unbelievable pleasure of capturing a baby's first moment earthside," Krista told BabyCenter.



"The moment they take their first breath. The moment they gaze deeply into their mama's eyes for the first time, and what may be one of my favorite moments to capture, the moment that this little babe's dad breaths a sigh of relief and readies himself for this next part of the journey."

"This moment looks different for every dad," Krista says.



"Some are so full of excitement they cannot contain their whoops and hollers as they unabashedly throw their arms up into the air in utter joy."

"Some are so overcome with love that the tears just stream down their face."

"And some wait patiently for that moment when their baby is nestled into their arms and they can look down upon that little face in complete awe."



"This moment of complete wonder often lasts but a minute and I feel so truly blessed to call it my job to freeze that space in time."
