Photographer Kathy Rosario of K Ro Photography has always been interested in capturing stunning photos of pregnancy, childbirth, and babies. So when her friend and fellow photographer decided to have a water birth at home, Kathy volunteered to capture every wonderful moment of the ᴍᴏᴍᴇɴtᴏᴜs event.According to Kathy, when a woman gives birth at home, it creates a different atmosphere filled with ᴘᴜʀᴇ ʙʟɪss and tʀᴀɴǫᴜɪʟɪtʏ. She has been used to capturing moments of childbirth, but there is something about home birth that makes the moment ᴇxtʀᴀ special.

“I have photographed quite a few births already, but nothing quiet compared to the sᴇʀᴇɴɪtʏ of a home water birth!”

Although water births aren’t sᴜɪtᴀʙʟᴇ for everyone, Kathy’s friend was a great candidate since she was young and healthy.
