This family won my services from a school donation. The mom is well known in the media world and needed head shots for these beautiful babies. I was thrilled to meet them at the door! Gorgeous little 3 month twins! I love the black velvet for photographing babies, its so dramatic and the subjects really pop!

Toddler Photography Upper East Side, NYC by Nina Drapacz Photography
I waited a year to photograph this adorable little boy! His gorgeous red headed sister is featured in several galleries on my new website. His mom wanted to maintain the last of his babyness by letting his hair grow without a haircut until after this photo shoot. He was sweet and shy, clinging to mom and by the end he was toddling away from both of us!

Tween Photography by Nina Drapacz Photography
Tweens are the years right before teens, so about 9 to 12 years. Its a time in a child life that marks the last of the innocence and the impatience to independence. Many of the tweens I photograph are children I had been photographing since they were babies. I had the pleasure of seeing them grow up which is special.
Beautiful Sisters in Watermill, NY by Nina Drapacz Photography
It was the perfect time of day when the sun is low and golden. Two gorgeous girls who I have photographed for a few years greeting me at the door, the rest is history! A fun photo shoot for the girls, the parents and me! I had a hard time choosing my favorites for this blog - I don't know how their parents will choose the images for their holiday and wall!
Tribeca Family Photo Shoot by Nina Drapacz Photography!
I had a special request to meet and photograph a family in Tribeca as they were moving to the suburbs and wanted to document their family in the neighborhood they had lived for many years. We walked to a street where, apparently, many photographers use for all kinds of photo shoots. It was incredible! There was a man with an easel there painting, very European AND very New York in every way... I asked them to set the baby down on the dirty hard concrete, they willingly agreed- and out came these images! In one of the images, the baby's expression seems to be saying, "W hat? My parents just put me down alone on this hard dirty floor???!"
Newborn Indoor Photography in New York City by Nina Drapacz
As I was listening to a grandmother's anticipation of the impending birth of her first grandchild, in comes her neighbor with a gorgeous newborn girl -what a beautiful little baby! I had just my phone on me, no business cards I thought but luckily I had one card tucked inside my phone case and viola-
I had the opportunity to photograph this little gem the next day! She slept for just a few minutes, but enough time to capture exactly what her parents and I wanted!
I love photographing babies and children who live in the same building- so easy to commute to work!
Baby in a Tree- Summer Outdoor Portraits by Nina Drapacz Photography
I photographed this cute little baby as a newborn. He made the business card! Months later we met up with mom and dad in Carl Schurz Park in Manhattan. Dad was had no qualms about setting down the baby on concrete, grass and even prop him up in a tree! He was right behind him so it was "ok" with mom. I think maybe I was the most nervous!
Summer is going Fast! Hampton Summer Photo Sessions Nina Drapacz Photography
There is nothing quite like the summer in the Hamptons. This is my third year with these beautiful sisters at their wonderful home. The beach isn't always the best place for photography. The sun goes down so late, making photo shoots start at 6:30 when children are hungry and sleepy. I always encourage photographing at homes. Im always taken by the beauty of the summer greenery there. The summer is going fast and Im almost fully booked for August! Please book soon to get on our calendar.
Newborn Photography by Nina Drapacz Photography
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!

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.
