First newborn session of 2011 for Debbie Allan Photography | Tarrytown and Sleepy Hollow Newborn Photgrapher |

Baby Noa arrived seven weeks early, back in December. Amazing to think that at three weeks old she was having her first photo shoot and technically she should not have been here quite yet.

As the third baby in the family she was getting lots of love and attention from big brother and sister. They have adjusted so well. It has been tough for them, with mommy on bed rest and then in hospital for so long. Mommy and Daddy's calm manner certainly has a great deal to do with the way I and J were so carefree and happy. They gave her a nickname before she was born, the cutest nickname I have ever heard, Twinkle. I have a feeling that may stick around for a long time.

At a birth weight of 4lb 14oz, Noa is my smallest newborn to date. All of my hats swamped her little head. Hard to believe that she has already started to out grow some of her premmie clothes.

It was tough getting her mommy's wedding ring to sit on her delicate toes for one of my favorite newborn poses. With a little help from mommy we managed it eventually.

I am looking forward to seeing more of the L family at the pool this summer. It seems like a distant dream right now, as I look out of my window at the snow covered garden.
