The way a photo can forever pause one of the most incredible moments in a woman’s life is like nothing else. All the emotion, every heart-stopping second captured – it’s like a time capsule of memories.

Birth Becomes Her has just completed its photography contest, to uncover the best birth photos of the past year. And they are breathtaking. From the beautiful clear-drape c-section to the overall winner: the water birth that had the whole world talking. Two amazing Australian photographers were also recognised in these unique awards.

Here are the winners of the Birth Becomes Her 2018 Photo Contest – a snapshot of triumphant births, sweet moments, sheer power and gentle love.
