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.
Please don’t think I haven’t posted because it’s been quiet around here. Quite the opposite, and with every family I meet I am more and more grateful for the amazing job I have! Yes, it’s here – the fall portrait season has begun! I’m sure fall has seeped into your life too – the crazy...
I have about three Cape Cod sessions to post and I think I’ve been slow about it because I just miss it so much. It sort of pains me to look at them. I miss being able to walk to the water every day, drag my kayak out my garage and within minutes I’m in...
I don’t. Well, except for a few years in high school where I was once called a French wizard by Madame W, I’m afraid my foreign language skills are severally lacking. Raphaelle and her family are French Canadian, and just moved here less than a year ago. Both parents speak English perfectly, but their daughter...
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...
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. ...
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...
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...
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...
