Photographer Captures Her Friend Giving Birth Naturally in Water at Home

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 momentous event.

According to Kathy, when a woman gives birth at home, it creates a different atmosphere filled with pure bliss and tranquility. She has been used to capturing moments of child birth, but there is something about home birth that makes the moment extra special.

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

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