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.
Just wanted to send a thank you to all my clients/friends who sent me holiday cards this year. I adore them all and it’s so special to open an envelope and see your kids happy faces. Thank you for letting me capture such an important part of your lives with my camera. I am truly...
My last session of 2010 was a great wrap up for the year. It was a long one – 4 hours! Somebody didn’t want to sleep, no matter how much mom told me he loved to! It couldn’t have been a nicer way to spend the morning though. Mom and Dad (and Grandma!) were a...
Well it was EXTREMELY close. So close that I had to count it 5 times, with Facebook too. I seriously needed PriceWaterhouse Coopers to help me out! I can’t believe the response to this contest – it was so amazing to read all your comments, your kind words, and your fantastic support of the moms...
I have had a wonderful year. With amazing, amazing clients. I say it all the time – I can’t believe how lucky I get with my clients. I have been truly blessed being able to do what I love and meet so many fantastic people every week. So I wanted to give back to you. ...
Back from vacation and I have to give myself a deadline with this contest! I am really excited about it!! In the meantime, I’m working hard to make sure everyone gets their holiday cards and pictures in time. What a craaaazy time of year! On Monday, make sure to check the blog! Promise? An adorable...
I hope that you all are going to have a wonderful, wonderful Thanksgiving with all your beautiful little kiddos and family and friends. I’m gearing up for a little holiday time myself, so Cristina Coco Photography will be closed until Tuesday. Looking forward to a little R and R so I can come back to...
This time of year is crazy for me. Kind of like an accountant before April 15th. My poor little blog gets neglected and it’s so funny because I have about 15+ sessions I could blog right now with no time to do so! So for those of you who come back and check, and who...
Fall is officially here. It’s such a beautiful time in New York and Connecticut – everywhere you turn you see stunning colors and tones. It’s one of my favorite times to photograph and I only wish it lasted longer. I’m always nervous that one big rain storm that is going to take all that beauty...
This session was dreamy. Not in the easy sense, it did involve a two year old! The images, though – oh they were so dreamy. Stephanie is a repeat client and we talked about doing some fun things for her daughter’s second birthday session. Balloons, a tea party picnic, a big field and lots of...
Well it’s been almost two weeks now, no babysitter. I know, all you moms out there are whipping out your violins and are serenading me with a “poor Cristina” song… but – it’s been a rough balance with a full time business and a toddler! So a few things have had to sit on the...
