Photographers capture moment parents first meet their babies
No parent could forget the first moment they laid eyes on their newborn bub, but just to make sure, two Australian photographers have begun a project to immortalise that special memory. River Bennett and Bel Pangburn started “The First Hello Project” to record “the first breath. The first touch. The first cry. The first hello.”
“We are always watching for the tear on the father’s face as he meets his child for the first time, or the relief of the mother when she stops labouring,” River and Bel told The Huffington Post. “The joy of life is so evident to everyone in that room, so watching and knowing when to click the button requires you to be fully present.”
See 10 of their stunning images in the gallery above and tell us, what do you recall about the first time you laid eyes on your children?
