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.





Friends, 10 years later…

I met Margaret at my wedding.  Actually, it was my rehearsal dinner – so it wasn’t so strange to see her at my wedding the next day.  She was engaged to my husband’s best friend who lived out in California so we didn’t get a chance to meet sooner.  I saw her two weeks later at her own wedding and from then we saw each other a lot – vacations, visits to Indiana where they now live, and their trips to see us in Cape Cod when we’re here for the summer.

As my husband and I are a few months from our ten year anniversary, Marg and Shep (he’s Scott, but he’ll always be just Shep to me – and Uncle Shep as he’s now known) are getting closer too and they asked me to take some 10th anniversary photos to replace the wedding photos on their walls.  Apparently they’ve grown older or something?  Strange, because I look exactly the same as I did 10 years ago.  Righhhht.

So, being the good friend I am, I put these up straight away on my blog to embarrass them.  Ahhh, friendship.

Also, I had to do this before sending them to her, because I know she’ll find something wrong with about 90% of them.

She doesn’t like this picture.  I mean, really.  Sorry bud, it’s one of my favorites and you look amazing.

My favorite of the day.  Last shot before we left the place we sort of were trespassing on.  Sort of…

Thank you for being such wonderful friends for ten years, you are amazing!  Happy Anniversary!!!
