“There is much more to birth photography than the actual moment of birth,“she wrote.
“So much more.
It’s all of those things put together.
It’s the journey of a birth day.
It’s the making of a family.
And if a family chooses so, it deserves to be captured.”
The results were truly spectacular, capturing an incredible range of birth experiences.
And many of the photographs submitted showed children being delivered by Caesarean births.
According to the CDC, an estimated32.2 percent of womenwill deliver by a planned or unplanned Caesarean.
But the fact remains that these surgeries are live-saving, and women should not be shamed for having them.
Here are 21 of the Caesarian births the talented IAPBP photographers captured.
