THE BEST PHOTOS OF CHILDBIRTH AND POSTPARTUM 2018: 19 STUNNING PHOTOGRAPHS THAT REFLECT THE BEAUTY OF BIRTH

Rarely does an image convey as much emotion as birth photographs do. Only a snapshot summarizes a cluster of feelings in the most important experience for parents: the birth of a child and everything that happens on that day. The previous hours, the intensity of labor, the time to see his face for the first time and his first hours of life in the immediate postpartum.

One more year, the International Association of Professional Birth Photographers (in English, the International Association of Professional Birth Photographers (IAPBP) formed by more than 1200 specialized photographers in 42 countries has granted annual awards 2018 and has released the best photos of childbirth and postpartum. We share with you the winning photos, those that have obtained mentions and other beautiful photos, in total 19, that families have been kind enough to share for publication.
