The International Association of Professional Birth Photographers is proud to announce the winners of the 2020 Birth Photography Image Competition, and they are truly incredible. Remember, while birth is beautiful, it is also messy and real. You should expect nudity when viewing the entries (and scroll right to the end so you don’t miss out on Australian Dania Watson’s dramatic entry)
