I have been captivated by images of stylish older women since I was a little boy.  My grandmothers, both incredibly fashionable, wise and strong, were my best friends.  I am always looking to find more photographs of advanced style ladies by other photographers.  Here are some of my favorite shots from photographer's who share my affinity for fabulous older women. Let me know which are your favorites.
