A super early start to a location close to home to meet friend and fellow photographer Jake Baggaley. After recently receiving a Herald Maverick 125 CC from the great team at Herald Motor Company, Jake was soon to get in touch with me about an idea for a Moto shoot! So we met on the hills close to my home in Dorset and made it just in time for a perfect golden sunrise.

Bay Watch... On location with Farer Universal and Arran Witherford
In front of the camera for a content shoot in Dorset with Farer Universal watches. Beautifully shot by Dorset’s Travel and Commercial Photographer, Arran Witherford. Farer watches are inspired by the halcyon era of watchmaking, when bold colours and contrasting textures were combined with the very best craftsmanship. A British Design X Swiss Made Watches, something worth exploring…

Milk and More - Supporting local with Liberty Dairy
Liberty Dairy is based at Liberty Farm in West Dorset, a family-run organic dairy farm. Peter and Judith run the farm single handily 365 days a year. Taking fresh organic milk from the farm, pasteurising it and selling it directly to their customers through vending machines situated in local farm and village shops.
Their mission is to supply local milk of the highest quality to local people with minimal environmental impact. With zero plastic, Customers either bring their own containers or can purchase re-useable Liberty Dairy glass bottles for £1 each. Food miles are also very low as their retailers are no further than 20 miles from the Dairy. PLUS it's super fresh and delivered to shops on the same day of production. Healthy and organic also means that there are no artificial chemicals and the milk contains high levels of Omega 3 fatty acids as a result of he cows being predominantly grass/clover-fed.
As a recent partnership with my regular content strategy clients, Your Village Stores, I spent some time with Pete and his business partner Judith on their Organic Dairy farm and orchard to document behind the scenes of a small Dorset family run business. With plenty of plans to expand their business from Apple products made from their orchard to working sustainably with more local Dorset businesses. There was plenty of photographic opportunities to tell their story and produce enough engaging content to announce the launch of a new local supplier at Your Village Stores.
Field day with Hunter Boots
I live in wellies. I have tried so many different boots but nothing has compared to my Hunter Fields. Winter or Summer, walking in these boots has been comfortable and practical. I wear my Hunter Boots on photography shoots, exploring, walking the Dorset countryside and even shopping! Unlike other wellingtons that feel like an effort to spend long periods of time in, my Hunter Fields have been the ultimate walking boot! Styled with the white fleece liners because.. well.. style matters too. #betterinwellies
Nothing beats the love of a horse... and Fairfax and Favour...
The first morning of the Autumn season and what a better way to spend it than a photography shoot with Ceri and her horse Theo. This beautiful Dorset location was perfect to capture these Autumn colours and despite being a little overcast, Theo and Ceri’s orange and brown tones really did glow. This shoot remained natural and unstaged until the Fairfax and Favour had to be shown off…
Caves, Climbs and Coastal vibes
Another weekend another adventure. This time it was a new location. Dancing Ledge, Dorset has been on the ‘explore’ list for some time and this weekend seemed a good a time as any to tick it off the list. With the indoor climbing wall opening very soon, dancing ledge was the perfect spot to warm up and get back to it! Not only have I found another amazing beauty spot on the South Coast, but a potential photoshoot location with ‘wilderness’ vibes. Definitely a recommended ‘go-to’ Dorset spot from me!

Showing Arran Witherford where not to park...
It is always exciting working with other photographers, especially one as talented as my friend Arran Witherford. Deus and PandCo have been two of my favourite brands for a while and an ambition to shoot for but when you get asked to model…well.. that’s just as good! The ‘mechanic’, ‘tomboy’ vibes was the goal we were going for and of course, this couldn’t have been achieved without my Landy. When Arran asked me for some recommended location spots, I wasn’t short. 5 minutes from my house and a farmers permissions we soon adventured around some beauty spots to enjoy golden hour!

Castle views and probably one unhappy farmer...
Ok, correct me if I am wrong.. but isn’t Corfe Castle one of the most fascinating places to visit in the Purbecks
I knew it wouldn’t be long before I uncovered the green lane tracks amongst these hills and the areas to explore off-road and somewhere other than my home.
The golden hour sunset produced stunning gradients across the hills and shadows around the castle. I’d never seen it from this angle before and definitely somewhere I’m heading back too very soon!

Chalk lines and Parking Fines
We thought being lockdown, there wouldn’t be any issues finding parking spaces. We were clearly oblivious to the yellow sign with restrictions towering above the dozen cars parked along the road leading to Old Harry Rocks. We soon knew this wasn't the place for parking when we were greeted with a yellow envelop on our return.
This was my first time out of the countryside in a while, I hadn’t left my village in months as I had been creating all of content and photography shoots around areas at home. I had missed the sea A LOT and of course, my adventure pal, Emma!
With lockdown rules lifted, I couldn’t wait to get out to the Coast. It felt good to be back outside exploring again at one of my favourite areas of the Jurassic Coast, Dorset. This place always blows me away with its beauty and formations.
We were too late for golden hour but it was clear to see that the lowered pollution levels from lockdown had some effect to result in such clear waters that surrounded Old Harry Rocks. Soft pastel skies, white chalk lines and still blue waters. Absolute dream!

Better in Wellies
Childhood memories, when flying kites were a thing and kite festivals returned every year to Eggardon Hill. 5 minutes from my house and one of my favourite walks and view points in Dorset.
There’s always something eerie about this place. There’s always a silence but at the same time, it’s a setting that takes your breath. A film setting waiting to be discovered!
My Defender Dog with Landrover UK
It’s not often you get Landrover UK approach you asking for some photographs of your dog in a Defender. But here I am, finding myself on a track not far from my house with my Collie x Retriever taking the drivers seat.
Producing content for Landrover is a dream as it’s a brand I have been passionate about since I bought my first Landrover Defender a few years ago. My perfect adventure wagon and my dogs favourite ride too!
