An Off-Duty Photog Snaps The Cutest Pics

If you're prone to flipping through photos of beautiful people at beautiful late-night parties, you've probably seen more than a few of photographer Nina Westervelt's gorgeous candid images. After all, she's shot up events for Vogue.com, RollingStone.com, T Magazine, and many more. Oh, and, yeah, every time we send her out to snap one of our own parties or the on- and off-runway magic of Fashion Week, she absolutely kills it.

Now, we were wondering how an accomplished party photog might shoot her own events. So, we hooked her up with a sleek, new Canon PowerShot N — boasting 12 megapixels, a wide-angle lens, and built-in Wi-Fi that sends snaps to smartphones in a flash — and let her loose on the holiday-party circuit. Are you ready for some of the cutest, sharpest, and most utterly personal shots you've ever seen? You best be, friend. You best be.
