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.

How can I not be happy after getting to photograph this cute face on a beautiful afternoon?  This is the second Fiona I shot this week – both beautiful girls and sweet as anything.  Sometimes 9 month old can be tough – not this little one!  She smiled, played, clapped and had a really fun time in this polka dot chair I brought for her.  Mom and I were going back and forth about a dress for this chair – the one we didn’t plan on ended up being the best choice!

Mom was as pretty as Fiona and I wish I had more time to post some shots I got of her as well.  So, this is a sneak preview for Siobhan – I wanted to get it up for you before I left for beautiful Cape Cod.  I will be working there for the next month, and I can’t wait to see all the kiddos I have lined up there!  Leaving today, so please contact me if you would like to book while I’m there on and off for the month of July and beginning of August!
