Special photographs of newborns: The Faces of Babies When They Are Born
Images by Alessandra Corveloni document the newborn’s first moments after delivery. Due to the unique nature of childbirth, many parents in recent years have requested that professional photographers attend the birth in order to document the memorable moments. This kind of photographer stays by the mother’s side during the entire labor process to capture the anticipation, the fear, the moment the baby is born, and all the happiness and excitement that follows.
Alessandra Corveloni is an accomplished birth photographer. She is a mother herself and has many years of experience. The photographer has attended the births of dozens of women and publishes ʙʀᴇᴀᴛʜᴛᴀᴋɪɴɢ photos on her Instagram profile. Most are black and white and stand out for those that focus on the expressions and faces of children when they are born.
Alessandra’s photos stand out precisely because they capture the moment without filters, but as it really is. We selected some of our favorites in the gallery below.
Black-and-white photos are definitely more atmospheric and make the final result even more special.
Equally special are the photos with parents holding their newborn babies in their arms. Emotion, relief, and joy are not hidden; they are feelings that, through these photos, stay alive for a lifetime.
