Those precious minutes and hours of bonding with a fresh baby right after their birth make for some of the most emotional moments between baby's parents and family (and the best to photograph!). Highest on the "AWW" scale, though, has got to be dad and baby skin-to-skin bonding time — after nine months in the womb, what's more precious than seeing a dad finally able to hold his little one?
