Last newborn of 2010 | Stamford Connecticut Newborn | Debbie Allan Photography

I had the pleasure of meeting baby Kavin and his family this week. What a perfect way to end the year. He slept so soundly for almost the entire time. Just when it was time for photographs with proud mommy and daddy he woke up.

At one week old he was so content to curl up in a ball and sleep. I LOVE LOVE LOVE his perfect little lips.

His maternal grandmother was visiting from India. I just had to have an image of her with her first grandchild. She was a little reluctant when I first asked her, but once she decided to partake she was so natural in front of the camera. I was thrilled with the image below. It was such a tender moment. The second I clicked the shutter I knew it was going to be amazing. I cannot wait to hear what she thinks of it.

I am looking forward to editing the rest of the gallery as they are truly incredible.

Happy New Year. I will return in 2011......

Belated Merry Christmas

Wow, what a busy run up to Christmas it was. My poor blog got neglected once again. I was expecting December to be a quiet, catch up time, but I ended up with several last minute shoots as well as several layflat book orders and before I knew it Christmas Eve was upon us.

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and are now preparing for your New Year Celebrations.

Our Christmas did not quite go as planned. Our friends were stuck in UK due to canceled flights and so they did not make it to Tarrytown to celebrate Christmas with us, which has been the tradition since we moved here five years ago.

Somehow I guess it was meant to be that they were not here as the boys both ended up having to go to the doctor on Christmas morning (after opening their gifts). They both have Strep!

As you can imagine Christmas Day was rather quiet around here. I am hoping we will be able to have a belated Christmas with Roz and Stuart over the New Year weekend. Fingers crossed their third attempt to fly back from London tomorrow actually happens.

It was great to get out today. I took the boys to the NY Botanical Gardens. We are heading back tomorrow morning to see the Train Show.

Santa was kind enough to send me an annual family membership to the gardens and so you can expect to see lots more photos through the year!

For now my favorite from today.

Layflat Albums

I had so much fun putting together my latest layflat album. I enjoyed looking back on a gallery I had put together back in April. It was a pre communion shoot for Emily. It seems like such a long time ago.

If any previous clients would like me to put together an album of their gallery please do not hesitate to contact me. They are such beautiful keepsakes. Something you will want to leave out on display on your coffee table for all to enjoy.











I think you will agree - this is beautiful. Layflat Books are truly spectacular. Exactly what their name implies, they lay flat so photographs aren’t distorted by binding or creased by a hinge.
