Feliz Cumpleanos, to my Mama! This beautiful photo of her was taken by @photographerkurtmarkus many years ago while in El Salvador. She came along with me on a shoot for @latina magazine where we returned to all of my favourite places from my childhood visits in her birth country. My father had recently passed and my mother was still so young. Kurt invited her to step away from the group to take her photo. I wanted her to feel comfortable with him so I stayed away. My mom is a “social girl.” Still the life of every party. She instilled in me and my sisters a sense of fun, curiosity and a deep connection to a place in the world that we all love so much because of the experiences she made possible when we were young. Can’t wait to celebrate with you back in NYC in a few days! “To the moon and back,” as she has only taken to saying recently! 🌒
