Voting is open for the 2011 International Association of Professional Birth Photographers Image of the Year contest and you’ll find one of my images amongst them (#6), pictured below:

This is Lola when she was just a few moments old, after being born by caesarean to first time parents. Her birth will forever stay with me in my heart, it was so very special to be there. Her birth story slideshow can be seen here: The Birth of Lola Anne.

There are so many beautiful entries in the contest. I already voted for my favourite… you should too! Visit birthphotographers.com to cast your vote. Voting ends February 19th at midnight.

Last time I checked, the contest had received over 4000 votes since it opened on Sunday (12th)! Thank you so much to everyone that has voted so far!

With love,
