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 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. ...
About 8 months ago I get an email from my best friends sister asking me to photograph her wedding. My stock answer is “I don’t do weddings”, (I have a serious phobia of Bridezillas) but Kristen wouldn’t take no for an answer. After much hemming and hawing, I realized that I could slap her around...
I so needed this! I just got back from a workshop in Pittsburgh with the very talented Australian photographer Barb Uil, otherwise known as Jinky Art. She is AMAZINGLY talented – just oozes with ideas and creativity. Her work makes my heart sing (her words for something else, but I found it so appropriate when...
I wanted to share what a basic family session with me looks like. I had this session a week or so ago and seeing it’s at my favorite location and a beautiful family I thought it would be a good one to share! Custom portrait photography is much different than your average simple studio session. ...
After a great year with my business, I decide to run a little contest in December to give something special to a family who might need a little pick me up. I didn’t have a lot of rules, I just asked that people nominate someone they thought could use a little joy in their lives,...
Ok, I know I’m a little pushy on the canvas. Listen, I was a sales person for 15 years, sometimes I can’t help myself when I love something. I do love framed prints too! There’s just something about canvas though – something that makes a statement and makes your images even more important. Oh, and...
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...
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...
