“There is nothing more emotionally evocative than birth.”

For mom and birth photographer Monet Moutrie of Monet Nicole, giving birth was the most “profound experience” of her life. Moved by her own delivery, she was inspired to start her career snapping birth pictures for parents in her local Denver community. To date, she’s captured over 100 deliveries—from C-sections at hospitals to home water births. And even though she believes every birth is special in its own way, these 24 photos are the ones that left an indelible mark.
