‘Birth Becomes Her’ Photography Contest Captures The Raw Beauty Of Motherhood

Childbirth, according to me is one of the most beautiful processes in life. It’s the circle of life and it needs to be celebrated. The sheer gorgeous and raw human emotions that are captured is exactly what needs to be appreciated and here’s a competition which does exactly that.

The ‘Birth Becomes Her‘ contest had over a 1000 entries from all over the world. The best out of the lot were chosen under 5 categories: Maternity, Labor, Birth, Fresh, and Breastfeeding. The main thing that they believe is that “images of birth are inspiring and life-changing.” And we have the very best for you.
