Senior Portraits for the Yearbook by Nina Drapacz Photography

Mom reached out to me in December inquiring about senior yearbook photography. She said her daughter will need them in January. Her best friend, who attends the same school, needed a session as well so we combined both sessions together . This made it fun for them and they were able to encourage each other and share ideas as well as coats!

Senior yearbook photographs must show the best possible versions of who they are as they enter a new chapter of their lives. Scouting out the perfect backdrops and working closely on the best and most genuine expressions are key. These published images will live on for friends and family to visit for decades.

Gorgeous girl, gorgeous horse! Photography in Watermill, NY by Nina Drapacz

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">

Summer Outdoor Portraits by Nina Drapacz Photography

Never a dull photo shoot with children. Always fun and watching and waiting to see what they will do! I love the family image where the parents were all ready to have their photograph taken and their son jumps out of the middle the moment I click the shutter! He had a blast the entire time

Outdoor Children's Photography in New York City by Nina Drapacz Photography

Its summertime is a great time for late afternoon portraits. The sun is low and beautifully soft between 5 and 6pm. Children always have fun on my photo shoots!

Bar Mitzvah Photography at Temple Emanu-El of New York by Nina Drapacz Photography

I arrived at the home of this lovely family for portraits before the ceremony. Two years earlier I photographed their oldest daughter for her Bat Mitzvah. I suggested photographing the actual service which wasn't an option for their daughter and they agreed if the temple agreed. Surprising to the family private services were allowed to be photographed. What a gorgeous synagogue, what a gorgeous family!

Double Mitzvah, twins by Nina Drapacz Photography

Two stunning red heads no less! We did the temple photographs a week after the ceremony when everyone was nice and relaxed. Earlier we did a portraits for posters to sign at the party. All pictures were timed perfectly when there was no stress for the family or the photographer! Whew!
