Maternity Session in the Hamptons by Nina Drapacz

The photographer in Aruba called them after they returned home to let them know her memory card was corrupt and she lost all the images from their maternity session on the beach. We needed a beach asap and it was 45 degrees! She said she wanted to do it in the cold and even wear a bikini at the end!

I was dressed in my warmest sweater, a long down coat and a hat. Hubby was bundled as well. We went to work right away! Lots of wind and three outfits changes later… these images! We had the beach to ourselves and no one looked cold!

Socially Distant BEACH SESSION IN EAST HAMPTON, NY. NINA DRAPACZ PHOTOGRAPHY

A few years ago I photographed this gorgeous family on the beach when mom was pregnant with her second daughter. She wasn’t afraid to schedule this session at my favorite time, 7pm. It was cold and rainy all day. The sun came out as predicted by the weather app at 5 pm. It was a bit stressful to trust the weather app as it was a 2 1/2 hour drive from NYC and I was driving out in the rain for a beach session!

Three outfit changes, gorgeous subjects, great pre/post sunset light and a masked photographer were the recipe for these images…
