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.
Had a great weekend – the Giants won!! Was very excited over at my house as we are all pretty big Giants fans. (Cape Cod clients, don’t hold it against me!!) Before I got my Superbowl party going I had the pleasure of spending the morning with this little girl to have her one year...
Oh these girls. These girls! They were just so kind and sweet and fun to photograph. I probably could have kept shooting, but as one of them mentioned, “I think you took 1000 pictures!” “Nope,” I said, “1004.” Love the clothing their mom picked, their red hair… I seem to be on a freckle streak,...
I am skipping blog entries, I know. I’ve been a terrible, terrible blogger! I suppose I’m just in summer mode – something has got to give and I’m afraid it’s my blog. I’m sure you are all in the summer mode too – although I think the end of summer is looming as my phone...
During college I lived with 5 guys and another girl. I can’t really remember how it happened, but somehow I ended up living with a good part of my school’s football team. I know, my dad wasn’t thrilled… Funny enough, he should have been happy. It was like I had 5 brothers looking out for...
This baby was SO adorable. And so big! She is only 7 days old but you would think she was 3 weeks old – I loved her round, perfect cheeks and big eyes. She made mom and I work – she was so hungry we had to stop and feed her a bunch, but it...
Hello Kiara! It was so nice meeting you today. What a beautiful day it was – we actually got to go outside a little bit! Finally! Although you wouldn’t guess from these pictures, somebody didn’t want to sleep today. We caught a few shut eyes here and there – some of my favorites! Thanks for...
So I get a call from someone who just happened to stumble upon my blog in an internet search for newborn photographers… When she saw my picture in the about me section, she said, “I know her!!” and called me right away. Jen and I go way back. I haven’t seen her in about 15...
Had a wonderful day yesterday with a family who is new to Rye from NYC. They were so new to Westchester (as in moved in three weeks ago!) that their dining room had no furniture in it – leaving me with a beautiful studio to work in! (well, at least in my mind, it was...
Ahhh, newborns. They are so perfect and such a puzzle at the same time. I remember it so well – a day home from the hospital, trying to figure out what would make my little guy happy. The little tricks to soothe him I thought were working, only to be fooled the next day when...
My son wouldn’t sleep. Would. not. sleep. Two years of getting up every night, short naps and bags under my eyes. All I wanted was a little sleep from my guy! Well, Ashlyn’s parents don’t seem to have the same problem. Ashlyn wanted to sleep our whole session away yesterday! Which would have been fine...
