10+ Powerful Photos Showing What’s It Like To Be A Mom From The 2016 Birth Photography Competition
The International Association of Professional Birth Photographers (IAPBP) has announced the best photos of its 2016 photography contest, and the results are breathtaking. Now in its fifth year, the photo contest celebrates “the beauty of birth and the skill of birth photographers” in three categories: labor, delivery, and postpartum. What’s it like to be one of these intrepid photographers?
“Birth photography is a highly specialized field and the choice to have the experience documented is an intensely personal decision,” explains IAPBP’s press release. “It involves the birth process, environment, the parents, and those in attendance. Birth photos encompass the tears of joy, the wonder of bringing a new life into the world, and celebrates family. The professional photographers who specialize in the field use their art to tell the story of birth.”

Beautiful images! Sad to read some of them classified as "mature content" only because breasts appear on it... Very sad. Can anyone tell me why you must be +18 to see a mum body?

I''ll never know. But keep talking, because we have to get through to them somehow. Breasts are not dirty, they are not evil, they are not sex organs, they are the food of the human race. It's about time they shuffle off the porn coil. Thank you.
