And when I say newborn, I mean NEWborn.  Like, seconds, minutes, hours old&#8230;is there ever anything like that first 24 hours with your child?!  It&#8217;s CRAZY overwhelming.  At least it was for me.  I was a sniffling, weepy MESS with both of my brand new babes.  Crazy new Momma hormones bouncing all over the place and I could NOT keep them under control.  I would look down at my new little one and the tears would just flow.  It scared Collin&#8230;he thought something was wrong.  But nothing was wrong.  I was just SO amazingly, insanely in LOVE with this new little life.  I felt like a Momma Bear with a new little cub and would protect this new little life forever and ever.  It was the job I had been given and nothing would stop me.  I LOVE that intense love!!!<\/p>\n<p>Last week I was able to photograph two brand new babies in the hospital.  I have to say I am LOVING this job!!!  Like I said, there&#8217;s nothing like those first days with your baby&#8230;and I feel honored to share that time with families.  The first baby of the week was Miss Ava Jane!  Don&#8217;t you love that name?!?  And it suits her so well.  Ava is precious and beautiful and so so delicate.  Her Momma and Daddy are already head over heels, and I know that big brother Ben will be too!  We get to see Miss Ava for her first official newborn session with Collin tomorrow.  And I can&#8217;t wait to love on her some more.  Kate and Joel, thank you for letting me peek into your first days with your baby girl!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-8754\" title=\"20100217_0219_fb\" src=\"https:\/\/cmsmithportraits.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/02\/20100217_0219_fb.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"608\" height=\"426\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cmsmithportraits.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/02\/20100217_0219_fb.jpg 608w, https:\/\/cmsmithportraits.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/02\/20100217_0219_fb-150x105.jpg 150w, https:\/\/cmsmithportraits.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/02\/20100217_0219_fb-600x420.jpg 600w, https:\/\/cmsmithportraits.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/02\/20100217_0219_fb-400x280.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 608px) 100vw, 608px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I love great big baby yawns!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-8755\" title=\"20100217_0233_fb\" src=\"https:\/\/cmsmithportraits.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/02\/20100217_0233_fb.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"426\" height=\"608\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Kate was Glowing!!!
