Cristina Coco Photography bio picture

Welcome!

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.





For the ladies out there…

Friday, May 8, 2009 Posted in Coco's love list

I always said that when this blog got going I would post more than just photography.  Especially when I find something I LOVE and I can’t wait to tell everyone about it.  As many of you know my former career was in the fashion industy and it’s just hard to teach an old dog new tricks!  I still love to look for things, still love to shop and the NEW Cristina is all about saving a buck here and there so I can support my lens shopping addiction.  So this is for all my girlie readers out there.

This brings me to shoes.  I really liked the Tory Burch Miller thong – thought it would be really cute in metallic or red for a summer sandal.  Went to try them on – they hurt like heck and honestly, I just couldn’t bring myself to buy a pair of $195 flip flops that I would see on EVERYONE else this summer.  (Tory Burch is just huge in Westchester/Greenwich)  I like to wear something a little different, don’t you?

So on my quest I found this AMAZING Sunrise sandal from American Eagle!!  FOR $29!!!  Repeat after me, TWENTY NINE DOLLARS.  Now, those of you who know me know that I’m a bit of a shoe snob and after years in accessories know a few things about mark up and quality…  so this is coming from the horse’s mouth.

Here is the Tory Burch:

1415_2444_7911Honestly, they are like butter.  The leather is so soft and the foot bed is padded.  The TB sandles were hard as a rock and so uncomfy.  Plus, hello, $166 cheaper!  YAY!  I think the gold metallic is so so cute too and I like that I’m not wearing someone’s giant logo on my foot.

They are online at www.ae.com – enjoy!!!
