Behind the Scenes: A Day in Somers

Behind the Scenes: A Day in Somers

 

In the picturesque Mornington Peninsula, amidst rolling hills & charming landscapes, lies Steph’s Somers Farmhouse—an idyllic retreat where country charm meets whimsy, offering a peaceful escape from bustling city life. Our recent photoshoot here was filled with laughter, playful animal antics, & the warm embrace of rural living.

Somers Farmhouse is a testament to the allure of country living. As we drove in, Steph greeted us with a joyful smile atop her beautiful donkey, Flynn, setting the tone for a day filled with warmth & charm. The air was sweet with the scent of lavender bushes in full bloom, adding to the enchanting atmosphere. Surrounded by vibrant greenery & just steps from the azure waters of the peninsula, the farmhouse perfectly captures the serene beauty of rural life.

 

Patch, the lovable canine with a coat as soft as morning dew, is an integral part of the household. His boundless energy & friendly demeanour brought a playful touch to every corner of the property, as he faithfully accompanied us throughout the day, photobombing shots & charming everyone with his tail-wagging enthusiasm.

The grounds of the property are alive with the presence of Steph’s extended family—a diverse gathering of creatures that bring a unique charm to the rural tableau. From her gentle donkeys to the graceful alpacas, & her cheeky chickens, each one adds to the harmonious rhythm of life here, where rustic charm & unbridled joy coexist in perfect balance.

We cherished our time at Somers Farmhouse, where simplicity & joy come together in perfect harmony. We're so grateful to Steph for sharing her beautiful home with us—a place that truly embodies the enduring charm of country life, celebrating the simple pleasures both indoors & out.
