hello november.

Hello November. You always seem to arrive with a swiftness. Yet, I feel you have been here quietly for a while, slowly turning. Making your grand entrance through bursts of varying shades of crimson, orange and yellow, you then leave the trees barren all too soon. I don’t think I’m alone in that these cool winds of change bring about reflection, and can feel both difficult and revitalizing.

Here are a few photos from a recent portrait session of a lovely woman, Silke. Knowing the Portland rains will soon descend; we savored the fleeting drops of sunshine on this gorgeous autumn afternoon.
