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 LOVE photographing the sibling of a former newborn client. I photographed this little guy’s sister at the end of 2010, and was so happy when I was asked to photograph him too! I love seeing the similarities between the babies, what they look like, how they sleep – it’s amazing. His sister’s session is...
My month of quiet is almost over, so you’ll be getting some new posts soon. I’ve enjoyed a lot of family time, a couple trips, and have been designing all the albums that had to wait for the holiday rush to be over. It’s been so nice to rest for a bit and now I’m...
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,...
I am so sorry I haven’t updated my blog! It’s just been so crazy (in a really, really, good way) that I haven’t had a moment to do so. I try to update my facebook page with session images – so please go visit so you can see what I’ve been up to! http://www.facebook.com/cristinacocophoto Like...
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 have been photographing this little girl since she was a year old! It’s been so amazing over the past three years seeing my clients’ kids grow up and see the changes in their personality and how big they get each year! I love that she remembers me now and thinks I’m kind of fun. ...
I have about three Cape Cod sessions to post and I think I’ve been slow about it because I just miss it so much. It sort of pains me to look at them. I miss being able to walk to the water every day, drag my kayak out my garage and within minutes I’m in...
I did not keep my oath of posting every day last week! I hope it will be worth the wait though with a couple of this little man. The light was so pretty in the little pathways next to their home. I love when I find beautiful light in the smallest, most unexpected places! ...
Ok, I’m playing catch up today. I have no idea why I’ve gotten so behind on blogging, but I promise I will post one session each day this week. I promise. No figures crossed. Wait, does it count if I post at midnight? This is WAY behind. Mom is actually getting her gallery tomorrow. It’s...
