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.
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,...
I am so sorry I haven’t updated my blog! It’s just been so crazy (in a really, really, good way) that I haven’t had a moment to do so. I try to update my facebook page with session images – so please go visit so you can see what I’ve been up to! http://www.facebook.com/cristinacocophoto Like...
Well it was EXTREMELY close. So close that I had to count it 5 times, with Facebook too. I seriously needed PriceWaterhouse Coopers to help me out! I can’t believe the response to this contest – it was so amazing to read all your comments, your kind words, and your fantastic support of the moms...
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. ...
I love shooting in the city. I’m a city girl in so many ways and sometimes I forget how close I am and get too caught up in life in Westchester (read: LAZY) to take a drive and enjoy one of my favorite places in the world. When a client calls to book a New...
I loved this little session. Angelo just turned one and you all know how I feel about one year olds! That being said, we kind of had everything against us – we were limited to full sun hours because of Angelo’s nap schedule and we didn’t have a big open field to shoot in because...
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. ...
Wow, have I been a bad blogger! I’ve been doing a bunch of newborns and the moms I’ve worked with want to keep the new photos under wraps until the announcements go out – so I haven’t been posting as much. Winter is a bit slower with the big kids photography. I think it’s a...
Interesting, I feel like all my posts have been about giving lately. It’s funny because I think motherhood has made me a little more aware of what is going on in this world I brought my son into. I try to do what I can, and photography is what I live and breathe – that’s...
