Thanks for finding my photography journal! My name is Cristina Coco and I am a portrait photographer in the Westchester and Fairfield County area.
I love what I do. I love what I do so much I left a very cool, high paced, world-traveling job in fashion to photograph kids. I know, I know, I must be nuts, right? Well I hope this blog will give you an insight into why I left what some might call a dream job to run after a bunch of munchkins with my camera.
You'll notice that a lot of my images capture those kiddies looking straight at me, straight through the lens. That is the shot I aim for at every session I do. I love that moment when everything else fades away and that child really sees me. Only a kid can naturally look at you like that - most adults can seem posed or even look away in embarrassment. A child can look straight through you and capturing that moment for parents - that look that they know so well? Well, that is why I love to do this so much.
So enjoy my little neck of the web - I hope that it helps you get to know me a little better and makes you comfortable about choosing me to capture your memories.

Anyway, her mom...
Ever meet one of those people who’s eyes just light up a room? Easy with a smile and so happy that it’s totally contagious?
Well, this little one had all of those qualities and a lot, lot more. (she’s quite the dancer! Wow! Check out the last photo – that stare down is during some serious...
While in Atlanta last week, something amazing happened. Yes, I was able to meet a bunch of talented photographers, but more importantly I was able to meet a group of people I would never have the guts to meet on my average day.
Living close to NYC, we are constantly looking in the face of homelessness. ...
Have I been? HOTLANTA, baby!
Although, I have to say… it wasn’t very hot. It was really rainy and not so nice out. It didn’t really matter though as I was in a learning state of mind and I had no time for sunshine anyway!
As a photographer, every now and then you need to challenge yourself...
This session came about because Solveig really wanted an image of her son in his grandfather’s shirt. I loved the idea! Tradition is so important to family and when you get to capture it – well, let’s just say I feel special to have my work included.
Her son, however, had a different idea. Little C...
Three under three? Yep, I know – I would be all over the place, pulling out my hair, house a mess… Not this lady! She’s got it all together and two sweet kiddos to boot. I had such a great time spending the morning with Sheila and her two little men – they were sweet...
