Corazones Abiertos – Open Hearts is a space created for women to come together and have real conversations.

Not networking, not promoting businesses, and not feeling like you have to show up with everything figured out. Just women gathering, slowing down for a couple of hours, talking about real life, listening to each other, and connecting.

During the circle, the conversation is guided with a few questions based on that month’s theme. There’s time to talk, journal, and reflect. You can share as much or as little as you want. There’s never any pressure.

There will also be cafecito and sweet bread to enjoy while spending time together.

Corazones Abiertos originally began in Spanish, and after seeing how meaningful the first circle was, it is now also being offered in English.

The first English Open Hearts Women’s Circle will be:

September 19 at 6:00 PM
The French Soirée Studios in Downtown Terrell
$25 per person

You do not have to know anyone to attend. You are welcome to come by yourself. That’s part of what this space is for. ❤️

Send Christina McDaniel a message if you would like to register for this circle.

❤️ CORAZONES ABIERTOS — NOW IN ENGLISH! ❤️

I’m so excited to finally open Corazones Abiertos to our English-speaking women.

After experiencing our first women’s circle, I knew this was something I wanted to continue creating for more women.

Because sometimes we don’t need another networking event.
We don’t need to introduce ourselves by what we do, what we’ve accomplished, or how busy our lives are.

Sometimes we just need a place to sit down, breathe, and have a real conversation.

That is what CORAZONES ABIERTOS — Open Hearts is about. ❤️

A women’s circle created for genuine connection. We’ll gather together for meaningful conversations, reflection, journaling, laughter, and most importantly, a space where you can listen and share without judgment.

You don’t have to know anyone before you come.
You don’t have to have anything figured out.
Just come as you are.

And yes… there will be coffee and sweet bread waiting for you. ☕️🥐❤️

There’s something special that happens when women come together and allow themselves to simply be. ❤️

This is what our first CORAZONES ABIERTOS — Open Hearts women’s circle looked like.

We gathered for real conversations, journaling, reflection, laughter, listening without judgment, and genuine connection. No networking. No trying to impress anyone. Just women sitting together and having the kind of conversations we don’t always make time for.

Each month, CORAZONES ABIERTOS will have a different intention and a new conversation to explore together. ❤️

I’ll be sharing more soon about upcoming dates for an English-speaking circle as I begin planning the next one.

¿Cuántas veces has seguido adelante aun cuando por dentro te sientes agotada?

Sonríes. Cumples con tus responsabilidades. Estás para todos… pero, ¿cuándo fue la última vez que alguien estuvo para ti?

Este viernes 31 de julio, quiero invitarte a regalarte algo que no se compra todos los días: una pausa.

Una pausa para respirar profundo.
Para soltar el peso que has estado cargando.
Para descansar tu mente.
Para reconectar con la mujer que eres cuando el ruido se apaga.

No necesitas saber meditar.
No necesitas “hacerlo bien”.
Solo necesitas llegar… y permitirte recibir.

Durante esta experiencia de Sound Bath, las vibraciones de los instrumentos te acompañarán a un estado de profunda relajación, donde muchas mujeres encuentran calma, claridad y un momento para volver a ellas mismas.

🤍 Si tu corazón sintió algo al leer esto… quizás este espacio es para ti.

Los lugares son limitados para mantener una experiencia íntima.

✨ Reserva tu lugar hoy!

Te estaré esperando con muchísimo cariño.

✨ CHRISTMAS IS COMING TO THE DIAMOND ROOM ✨

Introducing Golden Xmas — one of our elegant holiday sets at The French Soirée Studios in Historic Downtown Terrell.
Featuring soft sheers, warm golden tones, a stunning wreath, beautifully wrapped gifts, and a timeless Christmas tree, this set was designed with photographers in mind.

✨ Please note: While this set includes a Christmas tree and wreath, the overall design remains clean, minimal, and true to the Diamond Room’s signature all-white bohemian modern aesthetic. It will not interrupt the look or versatility of the space.

This room continues to be perfect for year-round sessions such as family, maternity, and mommy & me. If you prefer a non-holiday look, please communicate with studio management—we’re happy to work with you. In some cases, the wreath may be edited out in post, or we can discuss options to best suit your vision.
We want you to feel confident and supported—everything is workable and doable with clear communication. If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
Perfect for:�• Family Sessions�• Maternity�• Couples�• Children�• Editorial Portraits�• Branding & Holiday Content

COMING THIS CHRISTMAS TO THE EMERALD ROOM ✨

After what felt like a hundred conversations, edits, tweaks, and late-night design decisions, we can finally share the vision. 🎄

Introducing… The Ralph Lauren!!!
But this wasn’t a random AI image pulled from the internet. Every detail you see here was intentionally designed by from the dark emerald walls, to the mahogany mantel, the oversized window with soft caramel sheers, the Ralph Lauren-inspired plaid ribbons, the warm Christmas lights, the traditional red and gold color palette, and all the little details that make this set feel timeless. AI was simply used as a tool to help bring my vision to life before we begin building it in the studio.
And yes… the actual set will look VERY similar to what you see here. ❤️
AND if you have been with us for the last seven years, you will know how big we go on our Christmas sets! You are more than welcome to go and scroll through our feed and check them all out! We promise you, you will love what’s in the making!!!

Think classic Christmas.
Think Ralph Lauren holiday.
Think elegant, traditional, warm, and timeless.

🎄 Located in the Emerald Room
📍 The French Soirée Studios – Downtown Terrell
📅 Available October 1 – December 12
⏰ Bookings open TOMORROW at NOON.

Don’t wait until the last minute. Holiday dates always disappear much faster than expected, and once the calendar fills, that’s it.

We cannot wait to bring this one to life and watch all of the beautiful memories you’ll create here this Christmas season. ❤️✨
