Winners of 2018 Birth Photography Contest Celebrate Magic Moments of Childbirth
Childbirth represents one of the greatest—and most rewarding—challenges that a human can endure. Every year, the International Association of Professional Birth Photographers (IAPBP) celebrate this poignant experience with their annual birth photography contest. As an online community of over 1,200 members in 42 countries, they host the Image Competition in an effort to “share the beauty of birth with the world.”
The
2018 winners were recently announced, and within the scope of the
competition, history was made. In 2016, photographer Marijke Thoen
Geboortefotografie won the grand prize for her image of a water birth.
“The beautiful baby in that photo is now a big sister,” the competition
explains, “and [Geboortefotografie] has won the 2018 competition with an
image featuring the adorable siblings!”In addition to Geboortefotografie’s awe-inspiring photograph, IAPBP has selected winners in categories including Labor, Delivery, Postpartum, and Birth Details, as well as the top portraits chosen by its members. Each image represents its own incredible journey and is a testament to just how amazing our bodies are. See the artful birth photos below.
