As teeny tiny as newborn babies are, you still sometimes find yourself thinking ‘how the heck did it fit in someone’s stomach?’
That is one of the reasons behind Dutch photographer Marry Fermont‘s beautiful newborn photos, taken just seconds after birth.
She takes pictures of the babies, still in the foetal position, to give new parents an insight into how their baby lived and grew in the womb for nine months.
She said she started doing it after documenting her first birth. She explains how the midwife present at the birth showed the parents how the baby was curled up inside. She’s been asking midwives to do it ever since, wherever possible.
