I never tire of seeing them, especially the image you see above that seems spectacular to me. It is the winning photograph of the International Association of Professional Birth Photographers (IAPBP) that has awarded its annual awards.
But it is not the only one. Here I leave 17 stunning photographs, between the winners and those who received special recognition, which they reflect the beauty of childbirth and postpartum. Powerful and precious images of the magical moment of birth.
