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.
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,...
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,...
Busy, busy, busy. That’s me. Just wanted to drop a quick blog post of these beautiful siblings before I hit the road again tonight for another session. These kids were so good, so sweet, so cute! I could die over the oldest’s freckles, and the twins – well they were a ton of fun and...
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...
At one point during our session, this little one was not in the mood to get her portrait taken. It happens sometimes, especially when kids get a little over age 5, they become aware of the camera a little more and I have to break through them a little. Sometimes though, sometimes a pout is...
I’m in love my with my new location. The light there is amazing, there are little spots I discover every time I’m there. Just heaven, my little secret spot… There is a little bit of everything, grass, beach, water on both sides of you… LOVE IT. I’m also in love with these three kids! They...
My last session of 2010 was a great wrap up for the year. It was a long one – 4 hours! Somebody didn’t want to sleep, no matter how much mom told me he loved to! It couldn’t have been a nicer way to spend the morning though. Mom and Dad (and Grandma!) were a...
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. ...
