Growing up in San Diego, my family and I spent a lot of time on the beach during the summer. I always looked forward to seeing my grandmother’s bright and colorful beach outfits. We had so many wonderful summer memories together.

Yesterday I went to Asbury Park, NJ where I photographed this lovely lady. She reminded me of my grandmothers with her floral shirt and matching gold sandals, hat, and jewelry. I can’t remember a day when my grandmothers didn’t look perfectly glamorous. Even for a day at the beach.

I met up with Ilona right before she headed to Provincetown for the summer. She told me that she can’t wait to swim in the sea and take in all the colors and warmth of Cape Cod. I always miss Ilona during her summers in P-Town, but am excited to catch up on all her adventures back in the city in September.
