Cornish Maine Engagement & Maternity Photographer // Jayden & Satyra // Limington, Maine

Jayden had initially contacted me because him and his girlfriend were looking to do some maternity pictures. Satyra had a vision in mind that we discussed, meanwhile Jayden had a little bit of a different idea of how he wanted the session to go. He contacted me separately to let me know that he was going to use the session to propose to Satyra! We made a plan to make sure they both got what they needed out of their pictures.

We met at the top of Libby Mountain, where we started with Satyra in the most beautiful tulle gown. The light from the sun came right through her dress and on her belly in the most incredible way! She posed on the mountain top with some of the best golden light I have seen! She tried on both of her flower crowns and determined which matched her dress better. We did a few more poses in the golden grass and then she changed into another dress for her maternity pictures with Jayden.

I posed Satyra facing the mountains, just like me and Jay discussed. The plan was to tell her that I didn’t like that pose and have her turn around. When she would turn around, Jay would be on one knee with the ring. The time came. She faced the mountains and Jayden got out the ring. I had her turn around and she was so surprised! I love proposals! It was such an incredible moment! Obviously, she said yes! Jay and Satyra were both so happy! And I was happy to be a part of their proposal story.

Their session just went from a maternity session to engagement pictures, just like that! They both laughed and posed. We did a combination of maternity poses and engagement poses. The sun started to go down fast at this point, so it was time to do some sunset photos! I set up my lights and they did a few more poses and called it a day. I love how their pictures came out! And I can’t wait to meet their baby boy!
