I would love to do a painting of this provided I have the permission of your friend to use the photo.

I am a bit confused about what you term impressionist. This photo makes a nice impression on me, but I understand under impressionist something more like this painting by Mary Cassat. Very loosely done handled brush strokes.

I am sure there are many ways to paint this beautiful image, but I am drawn to painting her ala Bouguereau's technique. Don't get me wrong, I admire many artistic styles and it often depends on how well the artist was able to render a particular subject, but I catch my breath at those artists who can create an image that seems so full of life that one feels as viewing another human being.

So keep me posted if I can use the image.
