Mother’s Day

Client: The New York Times

Location: Austin, Texas

Project Overview:

I photographed this amazing mother-daughter duo, Iliana De La Vega and Ana, for a Mother's Day feature in The New York Times — 'Restaurants Are Hard Enough to Run. Try Doing It With Your Mother'.
It was a joy to witness their connection as they laughed, shared stories, and prepared for the day together.

Here is a link to the article: "Mother Child  Restaurants".
