Who looked this good or danced this well back in the day at 13? Certainly not me! The girls are getting more and more beautiful and confident!
A special and short time in a woman's life. Not a time to cover up but to take off the layers and show off that magnificent belly! 
When indoor portraits are finished and there happens to be the rare balcony available...Yes, it was me outside with the camera freezing, but well worth it for this beautiful mom and her daughters!
The look of joy on a mom's face as she looks at her new baby and look of curiously on a toddler's face when he observes his new baby sister . We were able to capture lots of winning images, although we couldn't replicate the one of her brother on a black reflective table sleeping. She was awake the entire session as well as an additional session!! 
Destination weddings are fun for everyone, especially when the location is as magical as this was! Katie, Mike ( my brother) and their adorable Marley were as relaxed as the setting. Tons of laughter and lots of personal touches made this wedding a unique experience for all of us!
The older brother was cold, the baby wasn't. Fall fun photo shoot at Carl Schurz Park again!
She and her mom came with a small suitcase of clothing- all perfect choices! She was such a delight. She was excited to be photographed, which is a gift to a photographer. Her energetic fun personality allowed me to capture wonderful moments throughout the entire shoot.
As much as I love the changing colors of the leaves, I do love warmer weather while photographing. The children however, enjoy being active outside with no regard to the temperature. These beautiful children had a blast!

Last week of August and the last minutes of warm glowing sunlight..tweens are the best! They love to be photographed! This young grandmother was a lovely lively addition to this perfect photo shoot!
I love seeing the dynamics of siblings. These two brothers were great! Whatever and however silly the older brother was being the little one, just three, tried to emulate even if it meant climbing to the highest rock!
The very end of August around 7pm.....it started with awesome warm orange light then a magical sky after the sunset. The girls could have kept going all night! Tweens are great! While the parents were under the impression that the light would not be as good this late, it happens to be the BEST light.
Fun fall weekend shoot with these sibs at the gardens. What a gorgeous place to photograph - its best at 9:30 am or on an overcast day. 
I first photographed these sisters at the BSTC camp the previous year. I had the special privilege of photographing them this summer on their own turf. Loved the woodsy setting!
Pregnant women glow! Such a short time in a woman's life as her body changes to accommodate baby, a time to capture with memorable images! I've been photographing this beautiful boy since he was 4 months old. Soon to be a big brother.
It was "Family Night" at the Bridgehampton Tennis and Surf Club. I was lucky to photograph a bunch of families on the beach in gorgeous warm light
...these were cousins
The day before braces and the last chance for portraits for awhile. The horse stepped on her toe about a half an hour into the shoot. Session over too quickly but luckily I captured these beautiful memories of a summer of riding!href="https://ninadrapaczblog.files.wordpress.com/2015/08/gen.jpg">
I head of blond curls pulled back in a pony tail and a full of energy! I photographed this beautiful girl as a baby who was full of giggles which hasn't changed at all. We started out with flawless knees and ended with skinned knees and an elbow! She managed to make a complete recovery and smile and laugh as much as when we started.
What a great role model for other kids and a pleasure to work with!
I photographed this gorgeous mom when she was 8 months pregnant with her second beautiful boy. The baby is two weeks old and his big brother is enamored! I love the look on his face when the baby is close or better yet, in his arms!
28 children ranging from 18 months to 4 years with a 3 hour time limit! I managed to get each and every one smiling! Whew! Parents have many many choices which is a good thing! I was lucky to have an fantastic assistant this summer who works at the camp who helped me make the children feel comfortable and coax smiles. Capturing siblings- a bonus!
