Babies are constantly changing. Beginning with precious sleeping newborn to the giggles, sitting, clapping, crawling, standing, and walking. Their personalities are forming as well, which is very exciting. Certain facial gestures and sounds or some favorite toys can provoke a range of expressions from babies. Parents are a huge benefit behind the camera as they know their babies best!
Professionally capturing these precious moments in their first year is the beginning of a lifetime of memories.

"LOVE NINA!!! I had portraits of each of my sons done on their 1st birthdays because that's the day the world looks the biggest to them -- they have enough perceptive ability to see how much is around them but not enough to organize it all into the little boxes that limit older people.
Those photos are amongst my most precious possessions because Nina captured their entire beings by her focus on professional portraiture, the individual subject. She combines precision with the relaxed setting that children need with a deep love of her subject matter. Highly recommend."
Joyce Magruder -Advertiser Insights Director at Turner Broadcasting
Nina did an amazing job with our children's baby photo year after year. The photos are beautiful and timeless and she really captured each child's personality -- which isn't easy with babies -- but Nina could do it!

Newborn Photographer?
August 2021
We were the ones who recommended Nina Drapacz to C., so just wanted to add how much we love her for newborn photography! She took our daughter’s newborn photos at the hospital two years ago, and just recently did our son’s newborn photos/ our family session at home when he was just a week old. Nina is a wonderful photographer and human, made us all feel at ease (including our toddler who loved her), spent a lot of patient time with us amidst feeds, diaper changes etc (but we never felt pressured to spend more time than we wanted), and sent back to us the most gorgeous portfolio of images that we’ll treasure forever.

Nina Drapacz was recommended to me from another parent in this group. She recently came to my house to do a family shoot for my five week old. Her turnaround time is 24 hours. Her services are competitive with other photographers. She brings props, is open to props you want to use, she's COVID-safe, thinks creatively has experience photographing newborns and I can't recommend her enough. Enjoy!
