We have shared a series of ‘that moment of birth‘ before captured perfectly by Apple Blossom Families. Recently, this same photographer sent me a series of water birth photos that took our breath away. We are sharing here, as Facebook tends to remove these images from our Birth Without Fear Facebook page.
Isn’t this amazing?!
Here are more from this birth. Mom and Dad caught their baby girl with the assistance of a midwife in their home.

These are stunning pictures! I love her bright eyes looking around and her dark hair to match daddy’s chest. It’s just all beautiful. I loved my 3 waterbirths (out of 5). Nothing like it 🙂 Congrats!

Thank you, thank you, thank you for sharing this with us. The most beautiful moments in life are those that we gently bring a child into this world, lift them to our breast, and revel in the beauty that is their perfect little selves. I never tire of seeing it happen again and again. Simply magical.

Being a midwife is the best job! Those pictures capture the beauty, rawness, and strength birth is!

This is so beautiful!! I unfortunately ended up with a c-section after planning a drug-free water birth and I never got to have this moment. I woke up about 2 1/2 hours after my daughter was born and I couldn’t hold her due to the drugs. This blog is so amazing and I love being able to see these amazing moments!

Beautiful, just beautiful.

Wow, what amazing photos. The one of the baby locking eyes with mom was incredible. And I have to say…..what a beautiful baby, even having just been born, she’s gorgeous!

I am in awe. So peaceful and loving, I wish all births could be like this 🙂 I love the photo of the dad holding the mom while in labor–such a sweet, gentle love they share. This little girl is so precious, it looks like she has her mom’s face and her dad’s hair.
