The International Association of Professional Birth Photographers (IAPBP) has just announced the winners of the 2021 Birth Photography Image Competition, and the pictures are just as powerful as last year.

Not only do they lift the veil on this miracle to those who aren’t familiar with it, but they also awaken precious memories for moms, dads, and the people who helped them introduce new life into this world. So it’s only fair these photographers get the recognition they deserve.
