Blustery Evening Engagement Session at Masonic Village in Elizabethtown, PA

Nov 28, 2019

Cozy Fall Engagement Session at Overlook Park

Oct 31, 2019

A Romantic Engagement Session at Masonic Village in Elizabethtown, Pennsylvania

Oct 10, 2019

They walked out to the center of the road. Hand-in-hand. Smiling. Slowly, they faced each other and rested their heads together. Closing their eyes. Breathing in unison. And then….. A car comes up behind them. So we quickly move to the side and resume position. But then. Another car starts coming from the opposite direction. […]
