Spring of 2013 began with a dozen of sessions outdoors and this project concluded my summer with a total triumph. Miss V. is a bohemian beauty, a stunning woman and delightful human being.

The team Riders for Ryders was formed by Jimi Brockett in 2009 and today it has grown to 240 people. A group of girls from the team volunteered to model for the calendar to raise the funds. We had one month to plan, one month to shoot and one month to
