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.





Babe in a bowl… {westchester and fairfield county baby photographer}

Wednesday, May 26, 2010 Posted in Pic of the week, Sessions

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 purpose well!

We started this session at the beach, and it didn’t quite go as planned.  Apparently, our little friend (as cute and sweet and adorable as he was) was just not in a beach kind of mood.  Got a couple of cute shots like this -

but unfortunately, most of the beach shots looked like this.  (you all know I love me at least one crying shot – this one killed me!)

After a trip back to his house we decided to plop him in the pachysandra (I had to look up the spelling on that one) and back came the bowl!  He was in a MUCH better mood by that point!

ivybabyIt was so great meeting you Allison!  Thanks for the beautiful tour of Rowayton!
