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.
Anyone who knows me well knows I love gadgets. If it’s new and all tech-geeky, I’m on it like white on rice. I love my iPhone. Love it. Ok, so I hate the battery… but I love everything else about it and being the visual person I am, any way I can make it more...
Interesting, I feel like all my posts have been about giving lately. It’s funny because I think motherhood has made me a little more aware of what is going on in this world I brought my son into. I try to do what I can, and photography is what I live and breathe – that’s...
I’ve decided on a winner!!!!! This family has had a REALLY tough year. They are deserving in so many ways and I hope this will be a small step to start 2010 with a smile. This has been such an amazing experience, I am completely humbled by the nominees and the amazing obstacles they have...
This has been an amazing year. I have been blessed with amazing family, friends, and now a career that completes me in a way I didn’t know possible. Thanks to all of you for your support – I couldn’t have done an inch of it without you. The following is a video of my favorites...
I’ve been so blessed and have had a great year with Cristina Coco Photography. I’ve met amazing clients, created some images I’m really proud of, and been so lucky to have such an amazing job. So the best way to say thank you is to give back, share a little something that has made me...
WOW. It has been a couple of crazy weeks here! I honestly haven’t stopped. I feel like one of Santa’s elves! With all the Holiday cards and albums, prints and canvases – my office looks like a UPS store. I just wanted to post to all my clients – if you are looking to get...
Ugh, it’s been a lousy couple of weeks here in Westchester! The rain has totally messed up everyone’s schedule – last week I was only able to get one client in with all this nasty stuff. I will post a bunch this week as I play catch up. Sorry I am behind in my blogging! ...
So all mom’s love a good play date – a little time out with the kids, meet new people, and let the kiddos get all that energy out of them. Well, when two photographer moms get together you have to add a little something more - basically it’s another excuse for us to take shots...
I am so excited that I am now carrying a new type of custom-made, hand crafted album for my clients. I can’t even tell you how yummy they are – I wish these pictures did them justice!! Let’s face facts, I am a people photographer for sure and not a product photographer. Well, shoot, I...
While in Atlanta last week, something amazing happened. Yes, I was able to meet a bunch of talented photographers, but more importantly I was able to meet a group of people I would never have the guts to meet on my average day. Living close to NYC, we are constantly looking in the face of...
