Finally a day with little humidity. The twins, whom I have photographed since they were babies, were almost ready to go when I arrived. They just needed a quick outfit change, a puppy on a leash and a few jokes......The setting was spectacular to say the least, the girls were beaming with joy- my job was to freeze these beautiful moments for posterity.
Now is the time, the cherry blossoms are luscious for about another 10 days and those bright colorful tulips have limited time ....Outdoor backdrops are at their all time beauty!
When the mom asked to meet her in front of Central Park, we were losing light. We had 15 minutes to take photographs before the light was gone. Hence we didn't have a chance to go behind the museum, but in fact made a great discovery on this crowded late afternoon! What better a backdrop for the perfect holiday card, two happy boys and an iconic fountain!
I found a few more favorites from this newborn session as I was meeting with the mom to go through the images together. House calls are an integral part of the process. When I post galleries of over 300 images to choose from its much easier to narrow down the best when I swing by with my laptop loaded with Adobe Photoshop. This program allows us to place similar images side by side to compare details as well as toggle back and forth in Camera Raw with a magnification tool to see minute details.
In the age of the Smartphone, one may be hard pressed to "splurge" on a professional image for work websites, social media, corporate images, LinkedIn , singles websites.....
A professional image that captures personality and concentrates on looking great can be the key to success in reaching your goals. Its well worth it. Professional photographers not only know the secret to good lighting, they have a trained eye to look beyond the smile to represent who you are at your best!
The older brother was cold, the baby wasn't. Fall fun photo shoot at Carl Schurz Park again!
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!

A beautiful Brooklyn baby comes to Manhattan for an amazing photo shoot. Her mom was concerned she missed her baby photos as she is is 11 months old. 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.
Two sets of twin tween siblings! My eighth year photographing them. I love seeing them each year, the oldest twins are just about my height now. Next year they will be taller and I will be standing on a step stool! 
The marriage of the perfect subject and the perfect setting can be magical! This was a wonderful collaboration between subject and artist. Its marks the beginning of my forage back into my roots as a fine art photographer.

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
