Last Year I ran a competition on social media with the offer of a free photoshoot for one lucky winner. That winner was the lovely Jo Raine from Barnard Castle and this weekend saw us meet up in Bowes Museum Grounds to have said photoshoot with her two beautiful daughters, Annie & Kitty.

We started off the shoot in the park to get some playful natural shots to get the kids warmed up and relaxed before the rest of the shoot.

We then proceeded down to where the path leads through the stunning trees, which now have a lovely bright green glow in the sun.

We got some great shots using the Godox Off Camera lighting before moving over to the gardens with the water feature to try and feature the building in the background of some shots.

We finished off with some images taken near the top park just in between the larger trees that had some fantastic bright bokeh in the bushes behind, I used the light again to fill in the shadows on the girls which I think worked really nicely.

Overall it was such a fun shoot, the girls really enjoyed themsevles and we got a really nice mix of shots with different lighting, natural and posed expressions.
