30 Raw Photos From The 2022 Photography Image Competition That Show How Cool Moms Are

So many poems going on here

Instant love.

If you guys didn't know: the hair on the baby's body is called lanugo and will fall soon.

I love this! The Dad is so happy to meet his little one. But you can also see the smiling facing of Mom in the background. These pics are beautiful!

Tandem nursing. Love this

That tiny hand!!! I wish we had more context, I hope the baby made it somehow.

Mature content warning is a great idea BP. You should use it more often rather than censorship.

Beautiful bond ❤️🥺

Gorgeous photo

Yall im finna cry...on all these photos. I gotta take a breath before i go to the next one!❤️❤️❤️

I’m here to bury the sales ad. Just loving pics of love

Stunning!! <3

Assuming she needs an unexpected c-section: I've been in that situation and can tell every mother-to-be that there is no reason to worry or to feel less capable. You are being the best mum for your baby in this very moment!

Exhausted love

The dog is still wondering what actually happened...

Mature content because of a nipple. pfft.

Upvote my comment to cover up an unwanted one plz. I love this picture <3

I found the back story of this photo, unfortunately the baby didn't survive. https://www.laurenanddouglas.com/blog/2021/10/15/in-loving-memory-of-luke-eli-townsville-birth-amp-bereavement-photographer

She looks like a jazz singer about to pour her heart out in a song about the love of her baby.

such a beautiful photo, to be disrespected by that f*****g ad beneath my comment

Wonderful photo!

What a beautiful baby!!!

Beautiful. This was my experience - I had a 15-month old when my second child was born. They nursed together for a couple of years.

BP, we need ability to report comments now pls

I feel this photo in my bones. I remember this moment before my daughter was born.

beautiful!

I would have freaked out if there had been a person with a camera around me while giving birth. But impressive shot for sure.

Womens bodies are amazing.

if you dont mind me asking, whats in the bucket??

B P, Do something about these vultures posting ads.

Is that the umbilical cord around babies neck? Hope baby is ok.

She is having a c-section and the clear tarp is used so she can see the baby coming out without interference and possible contamination of the sterile field of surgery.

teyokij194 you are THE most insensitive person EVER! I am sorry if my comment is rude, BUT to use an painful ( l am guessing) and emotional moment/ photo as a space to show off your ad is uncivil, unmannerly, brusque, impertinent, impudent, pert, unrefined, uncultured, uncivilized, uncouth, coarse, vulgar, rough, artless, abusive, blunt, boorish, coarse, crude, ignorant, impolite, insulting, intrusive, obscene, surly, vulgar, harsh, unpleasant, violent, abrupt, barbarian, barbaric, and barbarous!

No shade and no judging, just a comment to start a debate. Having your kids with you while you're literally pushing out your baby: thoughts? I get that it's nature and all but, I don't know, is that necessary? Is that beneficial to the kids (or to the mother, among others) ? In this photo in particular they are literally inches from the "focal point" 😅 from which the baby and blood and feces will come out... Isn't that a little too much to see at a very young age? And what for? They're too young to understand the importance of the moment and to create a bond; all they'll see is their mother in pain and distress and then an "almost horror movie" scene. I really don't see the purpose of this. But I'm interested in reading other points of view...
