Sample session

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 love looking for unique locations, helping style your clothes and make you feel like VIP’s for a couple of hours. It also means I’m yours for a while – completely accessible by email, phone, skype, facebook, you name it!

This session is a good example of what you’ll get from an on location session. I totally understand why people love sessions at their house, but there is something to be said about a different location! I love that this session was completely organic and this family is a happy one! Hope you like it!

Winter fun! {westchester family photographer cristina coco}

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 mold that should be broken! Outdoor sessions can be so much fun – playing in snow, big furry hats, snowball fights and rosy cheeks… It’s a fun way to think outside of the box when it comes to family portraits – especially if you’re an outdoor type of family!

Here’s a few to show what I mean. This one is a tough subject – he’s mine! Always a challenge for photographers to do sessions with their own children. They know all our tricks and have a love/hate relationship with the camera for sure. He’s getting better though – a LOT can be accomplished with promises of lollipops!

Hope that you’re staying warm but getting outside to enjoy the snow!

Valentine’s Day and a little love for Haiti.

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 how I can help and maybe get someone else to help too.

Valentine’s Day has never been a favorite of mine. I know, bah humbug. My hubby is in a business that means he has to work that day – we usually celebrate it the night before or after so I’m no too sentimental about it.

So how to get in the spirit? I thought it would be nice to do something for Valentine’s Day and help Haiti out the only way I know how.

Book a Valentine’s session before January 31st and I will only charge half my sitting fee. That half sitting fee will go directly to Haiti. You can match it if you wish (hint, hint) but your still getting my time free – the half session fee is now a donation that will make your heart feel all warm and fuzzy. Just in time for Valentine’s Day! Perfect!

The details -

Normal fee of $150 is reduced to $75 and ALL OF IT will all go to a Haiti charity (I am still checking to make sure the money goes to a good one, leaning towards Red Cross right now)

1 hour session booked between now and Feb 14th of you and your honey. Maybe you just got engaged, celebrated an anniversary, or just because you haven’t had your portrait done in a while! Session must be shot before April 10th and will include 10-15 images in a online gallery. Valentine package is $500 and includes 10 gift prints, and an 16×20 print.

To re-cap – you’re getting a session for $75 bucks and that’s going to charity. Cool! Then, $650 worth of prints for only $500? That’s a pretty sweet deal, if I do say so myself.

Book today! It’ll be so much fun I promise. Plus, you won’t have to think of a Valentine’s gift this year – it’s all done for you.

xoxo! (I’m getting in the spirit -see???)

Thank you 2009!

This has been an amazing year. I have been blessed with amazing family, friends, and now a career that completes me in a way I didn’t know possible. Thanks to all of you for your support – I couldn’t have done an inch of it without you.
The following is a video of my favorites from this year – you’ll see a bunch of my little man (he is my favorite, after all) and a bunch of friends and family – but the majority is my clients who I would like to thank for letting me document your life. All my love, Cristina
