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...
I met Margaret at my wedding. Actually, it was my rehearsal dinner – so it wasn’t so strange to see her at my wedding the next day. She was engaged to my husband’s best friend who lived out in California so we didn’t get a chance to meet sooner. I saw her two weeks later...
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...
I’ve decided that three is the new two in Westchester when it comes to kids! I swear I have more three children families booked for this summer than any other amount!
I’ve been a bit busy and my poor old blog has been a bit neglected. I actually was away in Texas for a week for...
This beautiful little guy just arrived two weeks ago. His parents moved here in November, so technically he’s a beautiful Southern boy living in New York. He held up to all the cliches about our Southern friends – sweet as could be and just such a little charmer.
He slept the ENTIRE time. Seriously, he only...
