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.





A new look…

No, no, not the hat…  my blog!!

Everyone has a few things they aren’t good at.  I have some random ones, math (horrible), scrapbooking (never finish an album!) and then as far as photography goes – taking a self portrait with my son.  Exhibit A is above – you see my silly mug on here and not his!  One day I’ll get that right, but as of right now this is all I can get solo.  He gives the best smooches and one day I’ll capture them properly…  but until then, I don’t get the right angle.  You can see how much I adore him, however, so I still like this picture.

Another thing I’m not good at?  Certain elements of design.  Logos, blog/web design – need a little love in this area.  I will spend a million years on the tiniest thing and it still doesn’t look right to me.  So, I’m excited to show you my new blog and logo design starring the AMAZING work of Lisa Reichman from Luxecetera!  (check them out at http://www.luxecetera.com)  I really love it and I hope you do too!!  Lisa did an amazing job of understanding who I am and what I am trying to achieve.  I adore her and her work!  If you need any design work done – call them, email them, stalk them!!  There is a waiting list for a reason!!

The new web site is following soon – it’s the next project and I am so excited that all of this is coming together!  I hope your summer has been as wonderful as mine!!  Now, back to work!
