Y'all. 

Can I just be real with you for one minute?

1,400. 

1,400 people looked at my website yesterday. 

1,400 people saw my work in ONE day.

1,400 witnessed my passion and supported me in one way or another just by being interested in my page.

1,400 people saw that I want to help families who have children with developmental delays to capture that perfect moment that describes their family and children so perfectly.

1,400 people saw my gorgeous friends, family, and coworkers that have already let me take their photographs.

1,400 people.

Before I launched my new website and Facebook page, I was nervous to expose myself in a way that I never have before. When starting your own business, there's so much insecurity about what people will think of your work. I let my insecurities get the best of me right before I pressed the "publish" page by saying to myself, "Wait, the website isn't quite done! There's more that I can do!" Then, I had this overwhelming calm feeling of "you are right where you need to be". I pushed my insecurities aside and made one big click with my computer mouse.

The response I have received has humbled me. It has shown me how many great people I have in my life and how many great people they know as well. Networking is a funny and amazing thing, isn't it??

To the 1,400 people, THANK YOU. You've reiterated why I've quit my job, bought expensive camera gear, and have jumped into this business whole heartedly relying on Him. You are all so precious to me. 

Now, let's get photoshoots going!

How in the world are you supposed to payback someone that is your first business client who trusted you and allowed you to get a headstart on your business? The only thing that I can do is sincerely thank Michelle and Inti for being the fist clients of McKenzie Coronado Photography! I am so grateful that you gave me an opportunity to capture photographs for you during this special time in your lives.

I worked with Michelle at The Rise School of Austin and think she is a great friend, teacher, and now mommy! Her and her husband, Inti, welcomed their baby boy just a couple of days ago and already seem to be smitten over Baby G! Who wouldn't be? He's pretty adorable. 

We were very lucky because Michelle and Inti have an incredible backyard that leads up to some greenery, so we were able to get some pictures of Baby G's nursery as well as not having to walk too far while she was very pregnant (especially in this summer heat). A win win in my book!
