“To be awake is to be alive”. Walden Pond Engagement . Brett & Chris

“To be awake is to be alive.” –   Henry David Thoreau

There was a definite American kind of romance to this shoot first with being at Walden Pond and then with this beautiful young woman named Brett, after a character in a Hemingway novel.  How could I not be swept up in the picturesque story they portrayed? As we walked through the fall colors, I couldn’t help imagining various American writers writing about love and life.

Thanks for taking me down this lovely path, Brett & Chris. I can’t wait to photograph the next chapter in your American love story.
