ATTENTION‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️

Good morning all! For those who booked a photo shoot this afternoon in the apple orchard for my giveaway and mini sessions!

🍂🍁🍎🍁🍂🍎

I have called Rocky Ridge to see about the space I typically use! I was informed because of the rain last night that it is completely washed out, half is flooded and they are thinking of not allowing anybody pass the back left gate into the backfield!

Today is literally and figuratively a wash 💦🌧️😢

Howeverrrrrrr…..
I am going to look into another spot for the 22nd and if you are still interested in fall mini sessions, stay tuned and feel free to message me ☺️

Thank you all for understanding! Stay dry and we will see you soon 🫶🏻✨

This family hits a little bit different. I was there to witness their first date, asked to do a very personal shoot for him as a gift from her and have watched them over the years become the most beautiful of families. I just love seeing their love! And how could you NOT see it?! That’s not just a twinkle in their eyes because Santa is on the way 😘

❤️☺️✨🌲😍🎅🏻🫶🏻

When a dear old friend messages you and says “me and my boyfriend, our two dogs and his daughter would like Christmas photos” how could you not be utterly ecstatic and honored?! I think these two were so good they definitely could never end up on Santas naughty list ❤️☺️✨🌲🎅🏻

14/12/2022

It’s getting cold everyone! So bundle up and grab some hot cocoa! Santa’s on his way 😍✨🌲❤️☺️🫶🏻🎅🏻

These were the absolutely the sweetest little babes with the sweetest little smiles! I had the biggest pleasure of taking Christmas photos for this sweet family! Their sense of tradition and keeping memories alive is something to admire! I couldn’t have asked for a better family to be my first Christmas shoot of the day 🫶🏻✨☺️

14/12/2022

I love this family and the amount they go through (30 degrees 🥶) to get a good photo. I think the golden hour loves them as much as they love it 😍

Lance Shoemaker is a smooth dresser, he’s mommas pride and joy and a determined young man! He braved the weather like a champ and put on a show for my camera in 30 degree weather! And boy a boy I’m glad we did because the pictures are AMAZING!

Lance I can tell your drive is bigger than you are and I know that will serve you well! Always dress to impress and know that you’re parents are so proud of you! I can’t wait to come photograph some of your baseball this coming season!

Love & Light always,
Lauren Baxter ☺️✨🌲

Asa Jordan is one of the sweetest, most polite, young men I’ve had the pleasure of photographing! He’s a family guy, part of a winning football team and did I mention it’s his senior year?!

Great job football team! 🏈

I hope you have the greatest last year in high school and I can just tell you’ll have a super bright future. I definitely had a blast with you and your family in the beautiful !

All the luck & love,
Lauren Baxter ☺️🌲✨

Something you MAY or MAY NOT know about me!

Growing up my parents rescued over 20 different dogs from shelters, bad homes, almost being euthanized and so many other horrible things. 95% of those dogs stayed until their last breaths with my parents and I, the others were placed in their fur-ever homes.

So needless to say… I am a dog lover and the older the dog, the better in my opinion. The love and life you can capture from an old dogs eyes gives warmth to coldest of souls and to give the family a beautiful picture of their forever-young-fur-baby truly makes my heart swell and is why I love being a family photographer.

GIVE ME ALL THE ELDER PUPS! 🐶🐕🐩🦮🐕‍🦺

And special thanks to The Hoskins for letting me take a picture of this beautiful baby 🫶🏻✨

Xoxoxo always,
Lauren Baxter ✨

My family is pretty amazing! Emily and Mark tied the knot already but I just had to share these! Little late is better than never 🤷🏻‍♀️ What a beautiful couple! Not to mention the ring 🤩 I may be bias because these pictures are some of my ultimate favorites or because they’re of my family…. Maybe both 😉💋🫶🏻

We love you both so much and thank you for trusting me to be the one to shoot your engagement pictures 💍

Xoxoxo Always,
Lauren Baxter ✨

I haven’t posted all the photo shoots I’ve done in the past two years but let’s start with a personal favorite!

Sam Miller is a great son, an automobile lover like his dad and such a nice, young man! I got the pleasure of taking his senior photos (I also got to do his sisters 🤗) and boy OH boy did they turn out amazing!

So glad I could be your photographer and be there to send you off with a great, fun-filled adventure through Pineland Farms Holsteins!

Xoxoxo always to the Miller Family!

Hi All! 🌲✨❤️

Lauren Baxter here, the one behind the lens of Mainely Captures! I wanted to introduce myself to everybody that doesn’t know me and follows my camera journey as a Family and Event photographer! I’m a wife and mother out of Topsham Maine that absolutely loves my camera in my hand and knows the importance of saving a buck… or 20! As a stay at home mom and a wife the one thing I hate skipping out on is having good pictures of the kiddos and our family! (Sometimes the old iPhone just doesn’t cut it!) So I thought… why don’t I take my camera, my 20 + years capturing special moments and help other parents get the photos they want on their budget?! Well…. 💥 Here we are!

Mainely Captures is built off of a love for family, memories and budgets 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦🫶🏻💵

Thank you for following me, my friends/family, my art and my love of creating beautiful pictures for you and yours! Your support is top shelf and you’re all so loved ❤️✨🌲

Xoxoxo always,
Lauren Baxter🌲✨

Hey everyone! The “little Prince” Boden Douglas Baxter is here and we are so blessed! He is healthy, happy, super loved and we are over the moon!

We are taking the next month or so to acclimate to life with a new baby joining our family and soaking in all the little cuddles we can! Starting in February, we will be starting to book photo shoots for the 2022 summer and fall!

Thank you all for following me, my camera and all the adventures we go on!

Xoxoxo always,
Lauren Baxter and the Baxter clan ☺️

Hi everyone! As most of you know and have seen, it’s been forever since the last time I posted! I have been majorly busy with home life and have done a couple shoots that I will be posting sometime soon 🤷🏻‍♀️

I needed to make the grand announcement and let everyone know we will be expecting our son’s arrival in November of this year 💙🎉

So unfortunately... We will not doing fall photos (from October-December) this year so we can hunker down and get ready for Baby B #3! However, if you have paid and\or scheduled a shoot, we will be honoring those before the middle of October! Please message or email with any questions you may have!

Thank you all for being the greatest friends and following me and my camera ❤️
