We loved hearing from Cynthia and Lacey as they talked about their experiences with the IAPBP Image Competition and what it’s meant for their growth as photographers. They dove into how they chose their winning images, how storytelling shapes every frame, and the importance of capturing emotion with honesty and heart.

Their insights remind us that birth photography is more than mastering exposure and composition; it’s about honoring each family’s story with integrity and care.
