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.
Back from vacation and I have to give myself a deadline with this contest! I am really excited about it!! In the meantime, I’m working hard to make sure everyone gets their holiday cards and pictures in time. What a craaaazy time of year! On Monday, make sure to check the blog! Promise? An adorable...
This little girl was so perfectly beautiful. Perfect feet, perfect fingers, and the most perfect lips! I could photograph her all day, sleeping perfectly. Do you catch the theme here? Some preview images for her mom and dad who were kind enough to drive up to Bronxville from Manhattan. I love this cradle – it...
Three boys. Wow. I have one and I’m always impressed with the moms who have two. Then three? They deserve some sort of peace prize as it’s constant negotiations, I swear… These three were polite and sweet, but give ‘em a second and they would be acting exactly like they should! I got such a...
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...
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...
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...
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 her...
