I recently entered the 2021 Birth Photographer of The Year awards - this is an international photography competition celebrating the beauty of birth and allowing birth photographers from all over the world to come together. This year there were 356 entries from across the globe and all the images were just stunning.

Up against such much amazing work, I was blown away to receive 4 Bronze awards in this year and be also named a TOP 20 Finalist.

I would love to say big thank you to all the judges, to the wonderful Lacey Barratt for organizing such a great competition and all the competition sponsors; Atkins Lab, Morris Bear Designs and Studio Ninja. .

Without Lacey, the judges and these amazing sponsors, this competition wouldn't be able to happen.

I would also a massive thank you to all my clients for inviting me into your birth spaces, trusting me to capture your beautiful births and allowing me to share these images.

Here are my award winning images from the 2021 Birth Photographer of The Year Awards;
