We did a thing whilst up in Skye.
Sgùrr na Strì aka the hill of strife in the Cuillin Mountains.
This photo means a lot. After a failed attempt a few years back and a scary night spent in the Cuillins, it taught us a lot of lessons. But I wanted this photo, much to the concern of some. To get to the summit, after an almost hellish climb at points and testing some fears on some rock faces we even found some wreckage from the 1982 fighter jet crash, watched an eagle soar and heard cuckoos. This is a magical climb to be remembered. We made it to the top and cheered as loud as we could. It was all worth it.
The best view in Britain, completed. Some photos really do have to be earned.

The first stop on a recent trip to the Lake District, somewhere Iāve been wanting to check out for a while, Cathedral Caves.
A cool place to explore that brings out your inner child exploring all the little nooks and crannies.
Starting off in Little Langdale, you couldnāt get more āLake Districtā in look and feel, as well as plenty of little sheep to great you down the track on the way down from the car park.
Ps. It goes without saying, if you want to check this place out, please treat our beautiful places with respect and care.
āEmily, youāre always on holidayā is what I often hear when I bump into someone I havenāt seen for a while.
I guess Instagram can give that misconception, especially when your a photographer who can very easily share the highlights with a hard drive full of content at your finger tips.
So hereās a very busy and real week in the life of me with back to back shoots with some work bts @oomph_creative and a wedding @emilylittlephotography squeezed in too!
Suns out⦠means cameras out for lots of clients, something Iām very privileged to do. But now, itās a well earned day off and a rum and coke by the fire pit š š„
On this day a year ago @exploringemily and I took a leap of faith in each other and made a film: DEAR HEART.
We filmed it in a day. We had to, it was six weeks after Iād had heart surgery, so my energy levels were pretty low.
The journey from initial meeting in November 2024 @campwild.uk and @kendalmountainfestival has been eventful. Itās a whole story in itself, which is something weāre going to be working on very soon - watch this space!!! Exciting new collaboration incoming š¤«šš
DEAR HEART has come so far in just a year: seven laurels, at least seven screenings at international film festivals including @keswickfilm@mountainfestival@londonmountainfilm@nnfilmfestival to name a few. A beautiful screening @alpkit Keswick store.
And, more to come, including @vervefestival@southscotlandoutdoorfestival and @keswickfestival this summer.
Itās been an incredibly moving experience for both of us and when we took that leap of faith we didnāt know each other, but somehow just knew the key messages would be universal and yet acutely personal.
For both of us it felt important to stress that less is more: big adventures can come from doing tiny things.

Creativity, flavour and adventure.
Thatās everything to me that @field.blends encompasses in a great looking product run by some great guys!
This is not an ad, just a genuine appreciation for a product I love, that to me, are the sponsor of good times!
Whether cooking at home, on the bbq or on the side of a mountain, theyāre there when good memories are created. And once youāre done, the tins are great for storing your own blends and tricks!
I first came across them when a friend introduced me to @delli.market and I just loved their imagery and ethos. I maybe biased but I love it when a food brand has great imagery, you just know that youāre onto a good start!
Anyway, hereās a few shots of good times that have involved @field.blends
My latest way to incorporate my favourite blend of the moment, Smokey Peach and Jalepeno is on my own take of elote corn ribs, maybe I should share the recipe??
FRIEND OF THE BLEND VOL.4 - Wild Landscapes & Outdoor Adventure with @exploringemily
Rounding off the month with a super fun catch up with long time friend of the blend Emily Barnard. An amazing photographer, filmmaker and creative explorer who definitely knows her way around the BBQ too!
Such a lovely chat with some great takeaways as we move towards some longer days and more time spent outside.

Photography doesnāt always need to be perfect, just fun.
Ok, this camera has been all over my feed, so when I headed out to the alps last month, I thought Iād test it out and see if itās actually any good or just another viral gimmick.
Is it any good? Iād say itās worth it for the price tag and a bit of fun. The blind box element is probably the most exciting element about it for me. If youāre looking for nostalgia, then itās for you. But is it something to rely on for precious memories, no. But I donāt think thats what itās designed for.
It would be a great gift, or perhaps the perfect āupload allā camera for an event with how simple it is to use. Iād say itās certainly more about the experience than the results and a bit of fun!
How delighted we are to be part of the line up of the best new water-based adventure films from around the world @sheffieldadventure !
You can check out our film on the big screen along side some other beautiful films, we are in stunning company on both the 20th & 22nd March.
