Baby Aria is Born!!!
Howdy folks, just wanted to give you all the good news. My wife and I had our first baby on Monday night. We named our little angel Aria Lea. We'll be out of the hospital and home on friday. We're obviously deliriously tired, but it has been a wonderful experience overall.

Take care!

Whooo-Hoo!!

Big congrats to both of you! Beautiful picture!

Congrats, Zack! She's beautiful!

Congrats, she looks great. Photography might be a tad more challenging now, although I wouldn't know, it is rumored that having children tends to decrease a photographer's aptitude to go for those extreme, on the edge of a sketchy cliff, perspectives! :wink:

Big congratulations to you and your wife!

Dead tired? Give it six or eight weeks, then you'll be dead tired! After that it gets way better though. Give her a kiss from us Hudons and wish her good luck.

Let me tell ya, Zack, Ellen is pretty much the perfect kid, her teacher pulled me over the other day to tell me how much she liked Ellen. Here's two tips. Love her to death and be strict but fair.

My reply to your email bounced back, Z. It's a problem on my end that I'll fix next week.

CONGRATS !! I am sure you are beyond excited !! Get all the sleep you both can right now... pretty soon, she's probably going to keep you up all night :smile:

Big congratulations again, Zack.... the world will look a little different now :cool:

Congrats Zack, speaking from a new dad who is now almost three months into it...I can say it was the best thing I've ever done in my life. You are going to have a blast, although the tired part doesn't end for awhile. My daughter started sleeping 6-8 hours around 8 weeks, until then however....

Oh, and you may have noticed a lack of new images by yours truely....I've taken hundreds, but not of nature. It does make it a little tough to get out (you'll be having so much fun you won't mind), but I'm getting some time now, so now worries, there might be a slow down for your photography, but you'll get some of the time back.
