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!

A Beautiful Girl and My Favorite Park ....Nina Drapacz Photography
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!

Camp in the Hamptons! by Nina Drapacz Photography
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!

Luckily there were still no teeth and she still had the baby cheeks ! Lots of clothing changes and different locations provide a wonderful variety of images.

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. 
Snowy Day and Indoor Photography by Nina Drapacz Photography
In 22 years I've never forgotten to show up for a photo shoot until this snowy day. The mom emailed me to say the girls were excited and what time I would be there....luckily they lived around the block! I ran over as fast as I could and was greeted by two adorable amazing sisters! The light was fading fast so when I saw the shiny silver reflective table I immediately started using it. It provided just the perfect pop of light.
Harlem Photography by Nina Drapacz Photography
I met the most gorgeous toddler! He is a professional model his mom told me. Harlem is a wonderful neighborhood with so much character and this was
such a gorgeous family. This little one was on the go constantly! Even after 4 outfit changes!!!
Siblings and a Outdoor Space in a NYC Apartment Building by Nina Drapacz Photography
The LAST warm day this winter! I was able to squeeze this shoot in in December. It was over 60 degrees! It started out rough, light was fading and big brother wasn't thrilled sharing the spotlight with his baby brother. With lots of patience and persistence, a success!
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...
