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 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...
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...
Some of you might remember this 6 month old’s newborn session. (Little O Newborn post) 6 months later he’s still sticking out his tongue at me, but giving me lots and lots of smiles too which is so much fun. We were so lucky to get a BEAUTIFUL day on Friday, so Little O, his...
I know I think all the kids I work with are beautiful, but these eyes! Wow!! Deep and rich and shiny as can be. Photographer’s dream! Unfortunately, I was not this little guy’s dream as it was a little too close to his nap and he really just wanted to be held by mommy. It...
Ever meet one of those people who’s eyes just light up a room? Easy with a smile and so happy that it’s totally contagious? Well, this little one had all of those qualities and a lot, lot more. (she’s quite the dancer! Wow! Check out the last photo – that stare down is during some...
This session came about because Solveig really wanted an image of her son in his grandfather’s shirt. I loved the idea! Tradition is so important to family and when you get to capture it – well, let’s just say I feel special to have my work included. Her son, however, had a different idea. Little...
How can I not be happy after getting to photograph this cute face on a beautiful afternoon? This is the second Fiona I shot this week – both beautiful girls and sweet as anything. Sometimes 9 month old can be tough – not this little one! She smiled, played, clapped and had a really fun...
