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.





New Albums!

Wednesday, October 7, 2009 Posted in Coco Chatter, Coco's love list

I am so excited that I am now carrying a new type of custom-made, hand crafted album for my clients.  I can’t even tell you how yummy they are – I wish these pictures did them justice!!  Let’s face facts, I am a people photographer for sure and not a product photographer.  Well, shoot, I don’t care -  I just really wanted to share this!

To describe – they are 9×9 inches, and to help you get a visual – half coffee table book, half wedding album. The pages are beautifully thick and heavy (think wedding album) and the cover isn’t that typical album old black leather – I use an image from your session so it is completely designer and custom made for you (that’s the super-beautiful coffee table book part).  The year and your family or the child’s name is on the binding.  No two albums are the same and I LOVE designing them!

Please contact me for more information – I am happy to create this for old clients that missed out!  A fabulous holiday gift for your spouse and other loved ones.  I love that this will be part of your family history forever – my client that picked hers up yesterday got a bit misty (which, of course, made me all teary too) and it just really touches my heart.

Did I mention that I love this new album?  Ok, I’ll stop gushing now.  Seriously!  :)
