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.





Family time

Thursday, August 27, 2009 Posted in Coco Chatter

I’ve been so busy with clients, editing, website launch, album design – I needed to take a little family time this week.  Went to visit grandparents, and just basically hung out with little J.   I’ve missed just hanging with him alone and it was so needed and so much fun!

This morning was BEAUTIFUL, so we hung out a little bit, gardened (pics coming tomorrow or later)  and tried out some new props.  This little hobby horse is for a shoot coming up and I wanted to see if someone J’s age would like it.  Not exactly what I had in mind, so I think I’ll save it for an older guy! He still liked it, so we had a great time in the early morning sun.

Now back to work!  Or, maybe just to play with some new processing like I did on this one…  not sure if it will make the workflow, but it’s still fun to mess around.  I need photoshop addiction rehab, honestly.
