judge's choices

Cherche Et Trouve
Sarah Marquis
@orangepommephotographie

"I think there are many parts of this picture that oppose each other but that tell the complete and beautiful story of human creation. Bold tattoos, birth tools, bulging belly, partner support, mom releasing while in complete control. The art of birth is what comes to mind."

Keia Alexis

"Look at that beautiful vernix!! There is triumph and awe in this picture. Birth is sacred. This image personifies this for me. ."

Emilie Rodriguez

Hold On To Your Home
Jessica Innemee
@jessica_vi_photography

"There was something magical about this moment. You can feel that pause as the family is getting more acclimated to their new life. Baby is holding onto what sustained them for so long with reverence. There is this peace I feel when I look at this picture. It brings me back to those early postpartum moments where time stands still. "

Guramrit LeBron

"What a moment! Such pure need of the parent and such innocence in asking and receiving. The up close and personal look at something so raw and yet so relatable is a beauty to behold."
