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.





Valentine’s Day and a little love for Haiti.

rv_vday2 copyInteresting, I feel like all my posts have been about giving lately.  It’s funny because I think motherhood has made me a little more aware of what is going on in this world I brought my son into.  I try to do what I can, and photography is what I live and breathe – that’s how I can help and maybe get someone else to help too.

Valentine’s Day has never been a favorite of mine.  I know, bah humbug.  My hubby is in a business that means he has to work that day – we usually celebrate it the night before or after so I’m no too sentimental about it.

So how to get in the spirit?  I thought it would be nice to do something for Valentine’s Day and help Haiti out the only way I know how.

Book a Valentine’s session before January 31st and I will only charge half my sitting fee.  That half sitting fee will go directly to Haiti.  You can match it if you wish (hint, hint) but your still getting my time free – the half session fee is now a donation that will make your heart feel all warm and fuzzy.  Just in time for Valentine’s Day!  Perfect!

The details -

Normal fee of $150 is reduced to $75 and ALL OF IT will all go to a Haiti charity (I am still checking to make sure the money goes to a good one, leaning towards Red Cross right now)

1 hour session booked between now and Feb 14th of you and your honey.  Maybe you just got engaged, celebrated an anniversary, or just because you haven’t had your portrait done in a while!  Session must be shot before April 10th and will include 10-15 images in a online gallery.  Valentine package is $500 and includes 10 gift prints, and an 16×20 print.

To re-cap – you’re getting a session for $75 bucks and that’s going to charity.  Cool!  Then, $650 worth of prints for only $500?  That’s a pretty sweet deal, if I do say so myself.

Book today!  It’ll be so much fun I promise.  Plus, you won’t have to think of a Valentine’s gift this year – it’s all done for you.

xoxo!  (I’m getting in the spirit -see???)
