Is there anything more beautiful or more powerful than a woman giving birth? This life-changing rite of the passage gives birth to both a new kid and a new mother at the same time, and it’s a once-in-a-lifetime event. The chance to witness such beauty and power through the sharing of birth images contributes to the normalization of birth and bodies, and we are thrilled to be able to share the best of the best with you here.
Childbirth was already an incredibly difficult and painful process that required strength and tenacity. But the pandemic added an entirely new layer to giving birth in 2021.
Giving birth during a pandemic is no small feat. Through her photos, we hope women recognize that all types of birth are beautiful and embrace how powerful having a baby can be.
