Meet Daniela Hernandez | Creative studio Owner

We had the good fortune of connecting with Daniela Hernandez and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Daniela, can you walk us through the thought-process of starting your business?
Honestly , I realized there wasn’t many studio or creative spaces in mesquite! Everything is in Dallas or fortworth. And I wanted to give creatives an option for something more local.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
As a studio I’m glad to be able to offer versatility. Although we are still building our brand and what we want to be known as. Our space can be used from newborn sessions to boudoir. We have curated sets props, and a growing client closet available for photographers when they rent the space.

I love that we offer meet ups for creatives where models who potentially need to build their portfolio can come and network with photographers, it has been so fun to see all the friendships , creative partnerships and job opportunities that have come from our meet ups, both for models and photographers!

I’m proud of how far we have come , the local and not so local photographers who continue to use our space , it truly is an honor to provide a creative space for others.

I honestly can attest that every ounce of provision has been given to us by God, he has been the one to open doors that needed to be opened and close other doors.

It has not been easy and although we are only in our third year of thriving. During slow seasons our faith has increased and by the grace of God we have always been able to pay our lease and still bring in new props and setups.

I’ve definitely learned to find the balance between my own personal photography and managing the studio , all while being a Wife/Mother. I’ve learned a lot of patience and even how to DIY so many things lol.

I want other up and coming artists or creatives to know that , it’s scary to start something , it’s very nerve wrecking thinking of the endless possibilities both good and bad but it’s even scarier to wonder what could’ve been if you had just taken that leap of faith.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
There’s this really cool local coffee shop we would probably go to it’s called hope coffee , then I’d take them to old town mesquite or downtown mesquite and walk the area there’s so many cool and cute local spots!

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
I want to recognize firstly my husband who has been one of the few people to stand in my corner with every crazy and creative endeavor I’ve ventured on.
And my parents !
As a daughter of immigrant parents who came here to give my siblings and I a better life,
They have also been my biggest supporters in this, they’ve both helped with manual labor and creative projects. I’m blessed to have a supportive front.
