Headshots for Websites New York City by Nina Drapacz Photography
I photograph this gorgeous family each summer. The mom is a nutritionalist who is launching her own business and needed some head shots and some images that relate to her business for the website. I couldn't resist photographing the beautiful girls while I was there. Her apartment had such wonderful window light!

Winter Photography in NYC by Nina Drapacz Photography
It was freezing and raining and all I had was a camera and reflector as this photo session was scheduled for outdoors in Carl Schurz Park. The light was falling but somehow I was able to capture this beautiful family on their dining room table, the window behind me in natural window light mixed with indoor ambient light.
Photo Shoots on Location in NYC by Nina Drapacz Photography
I photographed this family both inside and outside. Both have different advantages. Outdoors the scenery is beautiful and placing children and families in nature can be creative depending on location and sunlight. Indoors offers a level of comfort. Children are familiar with their surroundings and moms can change their clothing easily during the course if the session. Their is also the wonderful natural window light that can light up a face so softly...

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.

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....

Studio Photography until it warms up! Nina Drapacz Photography
This winter is ridiculous! I am so tired of wearing my big black down coat , I just want the weather warmer so I can go outdoors and photograph. This photo shoot indoors at my studio is the perfect solution and these girls who I have photographed since they were babies were amazing to work with. Two great outfits per girl and lots of enthusiasm, makes for great images.
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?
Newborn Photography by Nina Drapacz Photography NYC
I had the pleasure of photographing a very alert newborn baby! He is just 2 weeks old and after my initial sleeping images , around 7 in total, he woke up! We tried a wonderful stuffed cuddly toy which had a sound machine built in, a wonderful invention I wish I had when my son was a baby!
It worked for a few minutes, then he was up the rest of the time so I was able to capture his big beautiful eyes!
