Santa came early for this Twitter user who took to the micro-blogging platform midnight yesterday to share the cute moment her boyfriend proposed to her during their maternity shoot.

The American lady identified as @aliyeeet was super excited and shocked after her boyfriend popped the question in the least likely place.

The couple were in a photo studio with some friends behind the camera telling the lady to take a look at what her man was doing behind her. She thought it was still some position to maintain when she saw him kneeling down but the ring in his hands gave him away.

Two birds one photographer’s fee. We love a financially responsible man.
