Every time I visit California my mom sets me up with some of her stylish girlfriends to photograph. My mom met Irene at a jazz concert near San Diego a few years ago after she spotted her walking around with my book. Check out the full story HERE.

I met this gorgeous woman while photo hunting near Madison Avenue. After snapping a quick portrait,  she flung her hand in the air and said, “That was fun. Let’s try it again.” I only spent a few quick moments with this wonderful lady, but it was a joy to see how much spirit she shared with me.
