Motherhood has always been a special and powerful thing and nowhere is that shown more clearly than in the first few moments after a baby is born. The International Association of Professional Birth Photographers has announced the winners of their 2017 contest, showing this unique experience through the power of photography and the images they have captured are just breath-taking.
Each photo documents the first few precious moments of a newborn’s life and the introduction of a new family member. Have a scroll through these winning images though be warned; these do contain graphic scenes of childbirth not suitable for those with a queasy disposition…
The fact that this is a surrogacy just makes this image even sweeter.
A slight Alien twist to this picture but it is still touching.
Somebody wasn’t prepared enough for that…
Is anyone else crying too?
Looking up for the first time at his parents… so sweet.
He looks so cute with those tiny eyes…
I don’t know if I can look at that placenta…
He looks so calm rising from that water- a true water baby.
I don’t think they’ll be like that forever but it’s still a beautiful picture.
This is probably the last place anyone wants to give birth ever.
