A Bris at The Harmonie Club by Nina Drapacz Photography

I have photographed a wonderful Bris7W4A0043bris last week at the famous Harmonie Club! I was thrilled to be told by the Cantor that there were no pictures allowed while the diaper was off. This procedure seems harder for parents than the babies. I remember photographing my son's Bris over 26 years ago. I remember being thankful to have the camera between myself and what was happening. Here the Mom is comforting her baby before the procedure. It was quick and the baby stopped crying as soon as his diaper was back on and he was happily sucking on some sweet Manischewitz wine. Everyone sang in celebration when it was done. It was a lovely event!

Amy Robach at her home in New York City by Nina Drapacz

I had the pleasure of photographing Amy Robach and Andrew Shue a year ago. I met both sets of children. They were all amazing! I had them jumping and laughing the whole time! What a pleasure! What a photogenic family! When I was shopping last night I saw the article on the cover featuring Amy and her recovery. When I opened the article , there was my photograph!

Gorgeous Siblings at Carl Schurz Park, upper east side NYC by Nina Drapacz Photography

I have been photographing this beautiful redhead since she was a baby and even during her mom’s pregnancy. When her mom takes her out, everyone stops to say hi to her, she is the “mayor” of the block! She’s a bundle of personality and light and a true pleasure to photograph. So, when her little brother arrived it was his turn, and what an adorable cutie he is! He is delicious to photograph, to look at and to hold! What lucky parents!!As with all new siblings, the older child wants a piece of the action when I concentrate on the baby,so we took turns, while the baby was getting ready, he had just learned to sit, I spent time following the older one around and giving her tons of attention, needless to say she was the performer and rose to the occasion.

Twin Toddlers in the Garden of the Church of St. Lukes in the Field, NYC by Nina Drapacz Photography

We were so lucky to have a day in Late October that is 60 degrees and as a photographer, my favorite lighting, cloudy. Twin beauties in the incredible quiet gardens of Saint Luke’s . We did a good job disturbing the peace that afternoon as we prompted the girls with songs, snacks, keys, silly sounds, etc. I’ve had the pleasure of photographing them five months before with their absolutely stunning dog! The dog, a pure white show quality Malamute was the most mellow dog I have ever met! The girls sat on him, fed him their own snacks, pulled him around, what a sweetie!







Maternity in the Park New York City by Nina Drapacz Photography

I love to photograph pregnancy in natural surroundings, weather permitting. This mom has a beautiful son and is pregnant with her second son. She had a workout better than mine that day! What a pleasure to work with and so strong and flexible! Pregnancy is a wonderful time in a woman’s life, she glows! I love to capture these moments! I love to capture these moments!
