My newborn niece Sloan

My Memorial weekend was spent in Asheville at the Biltmore Estate photographing Judd and Kristy's wedding. After finally making it to bed at 2am, my cellphone rang at 4am and it was my brother-in-law to tell us that my sister-in-law, Jenn, was in labor and heading for the hospital. I could only laugh as little Sloan didn't get the memo about waiting for aunty Mika to get back home so I could be there when she was born! Nevertheless, we headed straight back to Charlotte after my daughter and I finished our horseback ride behind the Biltmore house (something I recommend doing). Little Sloan Marie Cooney was born at 10am exactly on Sunday May 25th and the whole Cooney clan are delighted to welcome her into the family.

Carson's birth day

An early phone call set my plans for the day and I headed out to Lake Norman regional hospital to capture the delivery, birth and very first moments of little Carson's birth day. I felt honored and privileged ot be part of such a special day and I just loved being able to capture baby's first hours. When my babies were born I never knew what exactly they did with baby directly after birth, and this occasion gave me the opportunity to find out. From the weighing, measuring and hearing test, Carson's birth day was captured with style. Did I mention she was the biggest newborn I've ever seen at 9lbs and 13 oz?
