A father has been captured delivering his own twin sons during a water birth in a gorgeous new series of images.

Robin Baker, a Temecula, California-based birth photographer and doula, snapped the images of the unnamed couple in a poignant photo shoot on March 6th that captured every step of the water birth process - which happened so quickly that their birth team couldn't get there in time.
 
The photographer calls the moment 'truly one of the most incredible moments of my career' and one of the shots was even a winner of the International Association of Professional Birth Photographers' 2016 Image of the Year Competition.

'These parents are experienced home birthers as they had their first child at home just two years prior to the twins,' Robin tells Daily Mail Online about the couple. All photos  after cut..
