The Somers | Downtown Warrenton, Virginia Family Photographer

“Best of 2013” will continue as I share wedding and engagements next week! Yay! Tomorrow, I need YOUR feedback … so stay tuned! 🙂

Meet the Somers family! As a surprise and a Christmas present, these siblings got together from far and near to have photos to give to their parents. What a sweet idea! 🙂 My sister, brother and I did that for Christmas years ago and it was a HUGE hit! In fact, my mom teared up looking through them … and she’s not an emotional mom! It was a larger group than what I typically photograph, but they made it SUPER fun! So FINALLY I have the chance to post this post up now that it is after Christmas and I’m excited to share this beautiful family today! 🙂

Thank you Somers family for a great time last month! So glad you all were able to get together for the special occasion of these wonderful memories. 🙂 Enjoy the preview! xoxo
