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.
Once again I’ve been neglecting my blog. This time I had a good reason, I swear! My right hand girl (aka our babysitter) has had pneumonia for the past two weeks. Poor thing has been so sick! Top that with a husband that had to work out of town for 8 of the 10 days...
I saw this camera phone challenge on i heart faces and thought it would be such a great post! I get asked all the time from clients, what kind of camera should I get? What lenses? What brand? Yes, if you’re a pro all this is a really important part of the equation. As an...
I have an addition. I am not sure if there is a 12 step program for it, but I should probably look into the possibility as I know a ton of my photographer friends are addicted to it too. It’s called Pinterest. (www.pinterest.com) I love me an inspiration board. I have on in my office...

I have playing around with straight up portrait work and studio lighting while working through these snow storms and yucky weather. I have to shoot and I’m waiting for way too many babies to be born next month! I find my chances to do things for myself when I can and I like to do...
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...
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!!

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...
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...
