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.
So I get a call from someone who just happened to stumble upon my blog in an internet search for newborn photographers… When she saw my picture in the about me section, she said, “I know her!!” and called me right away. Jen and I go way back. I haven’t seen her in about 15...
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...
I was so ready for spring. I haven’t shot outside in months besides my personal work, so I’ve been DYING to get out there. Luckily Anna wanted an early spring session as she wanted to capture her youngest at six months. (By the way, his name is Oliver and he’s adorable. Apparently I think he...
Had a wonderful day yesterday with a family who is new to Rye from NYC. They were so new to Westchester (as in moved in three weeks ago!) that their dining room had no furniture in it – leaving me with a beautiful studio to work in! (well, at least in my mind, it was...
Ahhh, newborns. They are so perfect and such a puzzle at the same time. I remember it so well – a day home from the hospital, trying to figure out what would make my little guy happy. The little tricks to soothe him I thought were working, only to be fooled the next day when...
Meet the beautiful Alexandra who is waiting patiently for Kiara to arrive this May. She’s on bed rest, poor thing, so we took it easy today and kept the posing simple and traditional. She was dying to see these right away, so I’m very proud of myself for posting these on the same day! She...
My son wouldn’t sleep. Would. not. sleep. Two years of getting up every night, short naps and bags under my eyes. All I wanted was a little sleep from my guy! Well, Ashlyn’s parents don’t seem to have the same problem. Ashlyn wanted to sleep our whole session away yesterday! Which would have been fine...
Ahhh, Valentine’s Day. I was never a big fan of Valentine’s Day. My husband is in the restaurant business, so we usually celebrate before or after (even though he is SO sweet about flowers and cards!). Until my son. Oooooh, how I love it now! The weekend was spent filling out cards for his classmates...
Well, I’m just in LOVE. Must be Valentine’s day being so close. For those of you who haven’t taken 6 month pictures – TRUST ME. It’s the best time. I love six month olds. They are so darn happy and they just sit there in all their cuteness. I just was gaga over this little...
Well, I think I’ve recovered. December was just insane, but in a really, really good way! Things are just getting back to normal in the Coco household, and although my desk still looks like a bomb hit it, the business side is back in action. I thought I would warm us all up a bit. ...
