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

TRIEDtried4tried2tried3tried6I 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!

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. seal seal seal

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.col colcol2 col
