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.

This is my beautiful god daughter – I am so lucky to have her in my life and she is so much fun to play with! We went on our annual Christmas card shoot, this time at the church where she goes to nursery school. I know, might seem a little weird doing a session...
And these three were no exception to the rule! This was a combination newborn and kid shot – which is fun for me because we get a little bit of everything going on. Hard to do a newborn with a short time frame though – newborn sessions can go from 1 to 4 hours (depending...
This is a post for a friend of mine who had a rough day today. I’m hoping this will make her feel a little better – she is stronger than I’ll ever be, THAT I know for sure!!
Doreen is the mom of three beautiful little girls – I was lucky enough to make a trip...
I know I think all the kids I work with are beautiful, but these eyes! Wow!! Deep and rich and shiny as can be. Photographer’s dream! Unfortunately, I was not this little guy’s dream as it was a little too close to his nap and he really just wanted to be held by mommy. It...
