The moment of welcoming a new life into the world is special not only for the mothers but also for those who witness these incredible photos. Each woman’s childbirth experience is unique, and even multiple births for the same person differ. Some are fortunate to have a quick and easy delivery, lasting only 15-20 minutes, while others endure hours or even days of labor. Some babies are born healthy and robust, while others face complications. However, one common thread among all mothers is the incredibly special emotions they experience in the moment of meeting their child after nine months of anticipation.
And what better way to capture the extraordinary emotions of mothers during childbirth than through images. Let’s take a look at 12 stunning photos by renowned birth photographers worldwide to share in the joy of first encounters between parents and their precious ones.
“My baby has hair”
A touching birth moment
“The mother in this photo was diagnosed with breast cancer during her 27th week of pregnancy with her second daughter. To ensure the mother’s survival, doctors decided to undergo chemotherapy without affecting the unborn child. The treatment caused the mother to lose all her hair, and she was extremely worried that her baby would be affected by the chemotherapy and be born without hair. Fortunately, when the baby was born, she had a beautiful head of hair, bringing tears of joy to the parents,” photographer Aubrie Moates shared about the captured moment.
“At last, Dad officially gets to see and touch the baby!”
A moving birth
“I’ve witnessed many wonderful moments during childbirth, but the image that stays with me is the young father’s emotions when he first sees and touches his baby. I quickly grabbed my camera to capture that sweet moment. It was truly heartwarming,” photographer Ashley Marston said.
“Childbirth is a powerful moment both physically and mentally!”

“The mother, Erin, in the photo had to endure intense labor pains throughout the day with her husband, Jess.
