In eager anticipation of the 10th annual image competition held by the incredible organization & wonderful community I am a proud member of, IAPBP (International Association of Professional Birth Photographers), I have been incredibly teary eyed, going through approximately 5,000 birth photographs I have captured from 28 different families over the 12 months of 2019, in search of the ones I would be submitting into this year’s image competition, to join my colleagues in adding to the incredible education and inspiration from our visual artwork.

As one of my colleague Monet Nicole Birthing Stories reminded us during a previous image competition, the famous words of Marysol DeWet: it's not about winning, it's about inspiring each other as artists and then inspiring the world about what birth can be.

I am eager to share with you all my favorite images from 2019. Can you guess which one(s) I will be submitting into the competition this year?
