Photographer Paula Galʋão, hailing from Natal, Brazil, skillfully captures the tender and precious moments in a baby’s early life. In a poignant image, we wіtпeѕѕ a woman in the final hours before childbirth, finding solace in her partner’s embrace while enduring contractions on the floor. Paula, aged 39, embarked on this photographic journey after experiencing the joy of motherhood herself when her daughter, Ingrid, was born 17 years ago. She dedicates herself tirelessly, acknowledging that babies can arrive unexpectedly at any given moment. However, she finds immense happiness and fulfillment in her work, as each birth evokes a ᴜпіqᴜe and profound emotional experience.
