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.
Every year I come to Cape Cod I’m lucky to have a bunch of my college friends schedule their vacations while I’m here. Becky comes up every fourth of July and I am so lucky to get to see her as she lives all the way in Arizona (way, way too far away). We have...
Sorry I’ve been away on vacation! Up in Cape Cod working for a litte bit, and I’m about 4 families behind in blogging, so major apologies! I soooo needed a vacation though, it’s been amazing to recharge a little bit!
Before I left – a new little man arrived for one of my clients. This family...
I’ve photographed my dear friend Melissa before. (Photographer playdate) She’s my local photographer buddy – the one I call when I need someone to listen to me vent about business, a new lens, a problem with photoshop… she kinda gets what I mean and she is a GREAT sounding board. I’m so lucky to have...
Hope that everyone had a great Father’s Day! It was a hot one here, but managed to navigate around that on Friday with this beautiful group!
Had such a great time with this family. I’ve seriously been so blessed with consistently amazing and cool clients and these guys were no exception! Especially a margarita after our...
Mia Dawn. Isn’t that just such a beautiful name?
I’ve known Mia since she was little – she is my best friend’s cousin so I’ve watched her grow up into a stunning young woman. I have been thinking about getting into High School senior photography and so when Mia’s mom asked me to photograph...
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. I...
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 always gush about one year olds. I just love them. Maybe I’ve just had good luck, but I just click with all of them. (And, no, that was not a lame photography pun…) They are at that age where everything is new and fun and happy and giggly, and wow, I...
I think I’ll call this the bowl session. Mostly because, at 7 months old it was the only way mom and I could keep him from putting dirt, grass, sand, and rocks in his mouth! Luckily I have this big deep wooden bowl I bought at a tag sale years ago and it served it’s...
This week is always a busy one with my family. My brother, Grandfather and I all have birthdays four days apart. Needless to say, it’s one birthday dinner after another (stemming back from my brother and I getting equal celebrations as kids – nice job Mom!) and by the end of the week we’re all...
