I’m not usually using my camera at 4am, but this was an incredible exception. My beautiful wife gave birth to an amazing little boy named Elias. The doctor still had to remind me to grab my camera – I was so lost in the moment of enjoying my son coming into this world. I was crying and I couldn’t help myself, and it was completely okay, and awesome! I did end up taking a few photos, though. You know me…
The first photo kind of captures the essence of having a baby – the relief, the happiness, and the joy all at the same time.

Baby Elias – 8lbs 20 1/2 inches, arriving @ 3:57am on Sunday, 10/16/2011.
There’s more photos of Elias and a more detailed labor story on my personal Facebook wall, if you’re interested. Thanks for looking!
