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.





Sorry that I’ve been away… {Cristina Coco, Cape Cod child photographer}

Well, I’ve been on Cape Cod for a week and it’s been wonderful.  I actually haven’t done any (real) work for a week and it has been an actual vacation!  I didn’t have much of a choice, actually, as we haven’t had internet here the whole time!  No emails, no facebook, no blog!! Honestly, verizon DSL can kiss my you-know-what.  I’ve been fighting with them since I got here, and I still don’t actually have internet – I’ve picked up my neighbor’s wi-fi, so I feel a little guilty using it…  desperate times!  :)   Verizon swears it will be up by Monday, but I’m not holding my breath!

I had a great Fourth with my friends and family.  This is my favorite shot of the week – my nephew AJ right at sun down.  We just don’t get open sky’s like this in New York, and I love photographing it.  Can you believe this kid is only seven?  He’s so tall and sweet as can be.  I just adore him and his brother and am so lucky to be spending time with them.  Little J just worships them!

I will shooting up here for the next few weeks, please contact me if you are in the Cape Cod area – I have three spots left before I leave in August!
