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.
Whenever I get a call about twins I take a deeeeeep breath. Half of that is due to complete and pure excitement, the other half nerves and fear! Usually twins have one in a good mood and one in a bad – hard to get them both on the same page. I knew we’d need...
Once again, my husband gets nervous whenever I go on a newborn shoot. Especially when they don’t cry, are as sweet and pretty as can be and the new mom is telling me that her little 7 day old is already sleeping 5 hours straight… sigh…. Introducing little Ela. She’s been born into a lovely...
Three boys. Wow. I have one and I’m always impressed with the moms who have two. Then three? They deserve some sort of peace prize as it’s constant negotiations, I swear… These three were polite and sweet, but give ‘em a second and they would be acting exactly like they should! I got such a...
I am kind of blue today. It’s my last full day on Cape Cod and I always get sad when I leave. Don’t get me wrong, I love NY and all my friends and family – I miss them a ton! There is just something about this place that brings me a special kind of...
About 8 months ago I get an email from my best friends sister asking me to photograph her wedding. My stock answer is “I don’t do weddings”, (I have a serious phobia of Bridezillas) but Kristen wouldn’t take no for an answer. After much hemming and hawing, I realized that I could slap her around...
I so needed this! I just got back from a workshop in Pittsburgh with the very talented Australian photographer Barb Uil, otherwise known as Jinky Art. She is AMAZINGLY talented – just oozes with ideas and creativity. Her work makes my heart sing (her words for something else, but I found it so appropriate when...
