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.
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...
Now isn’t this the coolest. You never know who reads your blog. I’m lucky enough to have the fabulous Kimberly Haywood of the March of Dimes read mine. She asked me to work with them on the Mother’s March mailer – it’s a package sent out to volunteers for the March of Dimes that asks...
I am so excited to be a part of this wonderful event next week. My client Jeannie (the beach boys post a few below this one) is throwing a fabulous party for her sister, New York Times bestselling author, Patti Callahan Henry to celebrate her new book, “The Perfect Love Song”. It will be held...
Tracey and I went to high school together, and by the miracle known as Facebook, she emailed me asking for as session for her fantastic three children. I love Facebook. I know, kind of geeky of me, but it gets me in touch with so many people and it has been fantastic for me in...
I am soooo behind on blogging. That’s a good and a bad thing. Good, because I’m really busy and that’s so exciting! Bad, because my one of my favorite clients has to text me and say “any preview?” with a big smiley face. She’s so right, I need to get on it!! So I’m about...
