Mᴀᴛᴇʀɴɪᴛʏ photos by Monet Nicole.

Monet Nicole is a professional birth photographer and midwife. She has attended hundreds of women’s births and with her camera, she captures moments from every sᴛᴀɢᴇ of childbirth.

Her Instagram profile has over 155 thousand followers and is a unique photo album with photos of births in the ᴍᴀᴛᴇʀɴɪᴛʏ ᴡᴀʀᴅ, at home, and on the water.

In her posts, Monet describes experiences and shares thoughts about the miracle of the birth of a new life. After all, for her, childbirth is a unique experience that changes every woman who experiences it, just as she changed.

This mom gave birth to her baby in her own arms. The birth took place in the bathroom of the house, and the midwife was present throughout the birth.

In one of her last posts, the photographer published photos of a water birth. A mother gave birth to her baby at home so easily and so naturally that Monet ɪɴᴇᴠɪᴛᴀʙʟʏ thought about how ᴡɪsᴇ the human body was and is.

Monet Nicole captured the moment the new family member was born, frame by frame.

“This mom birthed her baby right into her hands and ɪɴsᴛɪɴᴄᴛɪᴠᴇʟʏ knew to check for a ᴄᴏʀᴅ. She ʀᴇᴅᴜᴄᴇᴅ it so easily…like she’d been doing it for years. I love seeing her midwife standing nearby…watching and waiting, but not ɪɴᴛᴇʀꜰᴇʀɪɴɢ.

We carry ɢᴇɴᴇʀᴀᴛɪᴏɴᴀʟ ᴡɪsᴅᴏᴍ in our bodies (and ɢᴇɴᴇʀᴀᴛɪᴏɴᴀʟ ᴛʀᴀᴜᴍᴀ too). Birth allows us to tap into it and to ʜᴇᴀʟ from it as well,” writes the photographer.

The father was also present at the birth. Monet’s pictures capture emotions and “speak” for themselves.
