The miracle of 𝐛𝐢𝐫𝐭𝐡 has been recorded in all its raw glory in a series of breathtakingly intimate images from around the world.

Child𝐛𝐢𝐫𝐭𝐡 is experienced in so many different ways, and no two families’ stories are alike. Birth photographers take on the roles of both a documentarian and an artist to capture these simultaneously difficult and wonderful moments to show labor, delivery, and postpartum in an authentic yet aesthetically pleasing way.

Each 𝐛𝐢𝐫𝐭𝐡 is completely unique. Although 𝐛𝐢𝐫𝐭𝐡s do tend to follow a pattern, they always manage to surprise us!

Labor of love: breathtakingly intimate photographs capture the miracle of 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥𝐛𝐢𝐫𝐭𝐡 in all its glory.

There is nothing more moving then seeing a mother labor and toil and then finally hold her beloved 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥 in her arms. Both the pain and the joy are unmatched.

“Each story is unique and powerful. I find myself in tears when I’m editing images because I’ll look back and find all these small little moments that almost slipped away.

There is no posing in 𝐛𝐢𝐫𝐭𝐡 photography. There is no direction. I simply capture what unfolds. And I find that each 𝐛𝐢𝐫𝐭𝐡 is just as magical as the last one.”

“The moment a 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥 is 𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐧 is electrifying. I can feel the energy dramatically shift in the room the moment that 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥 comes up or out and into his or her mother’s arms.”

“Women during 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥𝐛𝐢𝐫𝐭𝐡 are goddesses! They are connected to a power greater than us. It’s a wonder to behold.”

“I believe that we need to see images of women giving 𝐛𝐢𝐫𝐭𝐡 because it helps change our culture’s perception of the female body.”
