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.

Anyone who knows me well knows I love gadgets. If it’s new and all tech-geeky, I’m on it like white on rice.

I love my iPhone. Love it. Ok, so I hate the battery… but I love everything else about it and being the visual person I am, any way I can make it more interesting I’ll try it.

I am now going to be offering these fun phone skins for my clients! They are so cool!! I love that my phone will never be mixed up with a friend’s again. Let me know if you want one too… They are simply a hi-tech, 3M removable layer – you can take it on and off as you please many, many times. It is more of a scratch guard, but it looks really slick – even your kids will think you are cool!
