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.
I wanted to wrap up 2011 the right way, with a little video of my amazing clients and their kids. I know I say it all the time, but I really love doing this so much. I feel so lucky to be brought into your lives for the few hours we shoot together – I...
I feel like I am constantly apologizing for not posting while I’m busy. So I’m not going to be annoying with that this time, we all know by now when I’m super busy I tend to slow down on the blogging. You’d be amazed at how much time it takes me to post something. Really,...
Please don’t think I haven’t posted because it’s been quiet around here. Quite the opposite, and with every family I meet I am more and more grateful for the amazing job I have! Yes, it’s here – the fall portrait season has begun! I’m sure fall has seeped into your life too – the crazy...
We’ve had a rough week at the Coco house. The hurricane left us with no power for a while and a basement full of water. Slowed me down incredibly this week and the whole thing has left me exhausted. I needed a little pick me up so I decided to post these image I did...
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...
About three and a half years ago I was in quite a pickle. A colicky newborn and a husband who had to travel for business made the whole new mommy thing really tough for me. I was struggling, crying, majorly sleep deprived and I’m pretty sure on the border of losing my mind. A friend...
Vacation is over. Boooooo! I had so much fun hanging out and doing nothing in Cape Cod. I can’t help but take a few photos though. And not just the vacation kind. I’m so lucky that my friends ask me to take their family photos while we’re all out here. It’s so much fun and...
My Grandmother used to say, “Make new friends, but keep the old, for one is silver and the other gold…” I’ve kind of lived that as a motto when it comes to friends. I’ve never had a problem meeting people and am not shy, but I am not the sort who makes new close friends...
Just go back from a great little get away to London and Paris. What beautiful cities! So much history, so much beauty. Every corner there was something to see. I lugged my camera around every where I went (and my back is hating me right now!) Just wanted to share some images from my trip. ...
Just shipped this out to a client yesterday, and I realized a session box is one of those products my clients ask me to explain and I really needed some new product shots to show what you get. I loved this box in black and white and thought it would be a good example! Here...
