The family was moving out of their home in days and I expected chaos in the apartment, but instead I was greeted by a calm and beautiful mom and newborn...siblings arrived after camp. We took advantage of the big white bed and the wonderful window light. Just minutes to work with the baby before he woke up. He was so alert throughout the entire photo shoot at only a mere week old!

Siblings Enjoying a Sunny Day Upper East Side NYC by NIna Drapacz Photography
The first child arrived with his Mom and loved to be photographed and especially enjoyed my jokes! About 20 minutes later this handsome boy's toddler sister comes with Dad, a complete clone of him! She was eager
to get out of her stroller and go, go go!
Fast and Furious Toddlers by Nina Drapacz photography! NYC
This handsome little toddler just wanted to explore and explore! I had to be quick and provocative to get his attention and creative to keep him still for a moment here and there. Such a gorgeous little guy! Lollypops helped as an incentive....but not for long!
Spring Photo Shoot in NYC by Nina Drapacz Photography
Violet, a perfect name for this beautiful baby! Her first photo shoot, her proud grandmother had bid on my photography at a local church auction before she was even born! How fun- her range of expressions were phenomenal! Such a cutie! This is probably the last days of these wonderful spring cherry blossoms, we lucked out.

Westport Connecticut on a beautiful spring afternoon by Nina Drapacz Photography
A new addition to this family! I have photographed the two older siblings in my studio awhile back and now that the family is complete, I got a call from the mom letting me know there is another beauty in the family and she was in need to photographs of all! You can imagine who was in charge of the session..we followed
her around everywhere, no sitting for this curious 18 month old!
Family Reunion Central Park NYC by Nina Drapacz Photography
During the holidays families fly in from all over to celebrate. This family came together for Passover, all 17 
of them and I got a call from the proud grandmother to document. Cousins, aunts and uncles who haven't seen each other for many months were thrilled to see each other! During some of these images I captured, I wondered what was going on behind my to provoke such laughter! Rumor has it some of the uncles were making silly faces and bunny ears above my head....
The Shala Yoga Studio Lower East Side NYC by Nina Drapacz Photography
I love photographing yoga poses! I have photographed extremely advanced poses on the beach, in my studio and now in
a fantastic yoga studio. Im always in awe of such hard poses and as a intermediate yogi myself, this was even more enjoyable.
Family Reunion in New Jersey by Nina Drapacz Photography
Still trying to remember when the weather was warm... although these images were from an extremely hot summer day in August. Looking at these I wonder when it will warm up and be sunny. Two families live locally and one from San Francisco. All the cousins were adorable, most inherited wonderful dimples!!! Its a big group and lots of different ages and temperaments and it was 95 degrees but somehow, a big success! Can the proud grandparents be any more thrilled??
Dreaming of Summer in the Hamptons by Nina Drapacz Photography
Summer is almost here! This wonderful boy and his canine best friend, Duke ,were fun to photograph! It was early October yet the weather was warm enough to be outside without coats. I am excited to photograph all summer long in the Hamptons where the beaches and homes make for perfect backdrops to the beautiful families.
Indoor Photo Shoot one year later, Upper West Side, NYC by Nina Drapacz Photography
A year ago this beautiful boy was born, he was just two days old when his parents asked me to come to photograph him with his family. He was adorable as a newborn and is a very active cute little baby/ toddler! Loves sports and goofing around with his two older brothers. Lucky for auto focus, he's fast! His mom called me to photograph him as a surprise gift for his dad's birthday. I hear Dad was thrilled!
Photographing a girl named Nina in her home, West Village, NYC by Nina Drapacz Photography
I went to my favorite area in New York City to photography a family. The West Village is such a lively mix of people, food, boutiques and art schools. This family had a lovely apartment with lots of natural window light which is my favorite. To top it off the baby's name was Nina! Photographing in homes is a unique experience.
As a photographer I relish the different surroundings. Children are so at ease at home so this makes it most fun for them, plenty of treats in the kitchen, lots of toys, what can be better?
Spring Photography NYC locations by Nina Drapacz Photography
Im tired of all the snow and cold and excited to get back out to the parks around New York City! This beautiful baby was turning one and really loved when his parents held him high in the air and upside down. He has the most beautiful dimple!
Newborn Photography Upper East Side NYC by Nina Drapacz Photography
] 
The best part of photographing pregnant moms, is seeing and photographing the beautiful new baby! I love the way this big brother looks at his new sibling, just one week old! Its both a tentative and a incredulous look. This little newborn didn't sleep too long and joins his brother in a chair for more pictures. The next day I photographed his Bris at the Harmonie Club. Not a peep! Needless to say many expecting moms asked the Mohel for his card! Never have I attended or photographed a Bris where the baby doesn't cry! 
Maternity in the Park New York City by Nina Drapacz Photography
I love to photograph pregnancy in natural surroundings, weather permitting. This mom has a beautiful son and is pregnant with her second son. She had a workout better than mine that day! What a pleasure to work with and so strong and flexible! Pregnancy is a wonderful time in a woman’s life, she glows! I love to capture these moments! I love to capture these moments!
