No, I can’t dance

but by crikey, Tegan can!

I was given a fantastic opportunity to photograph a gorgeous and talented dancer just prior to her leaving sunny North Queensland for the hustle and bustle of Southern cities.  How would I describe Tegan?  Well, she’s obviously gifted, thoroughly genetically-blessed, and incredibly driven – evidenced by her fearlessness and love for throwing herself about like a ragdoll (appearing absolutely weightless throughout), and jumping to do anything I suggested, including climbing structures that should have been torn down a half-century ago, for the sake of a couple of snaps.  So where are these photos, you ask?  Guess I’d better show you a few of my favourites.

And a stunning smile!

Tegan’s also-beautiful mum was a bit camera-shy.  But we did manage to convince her to be in one photograph.

Mum, keeping an eye on things.

I spent far too long taking headshots and close-ups, because my camera – *clears throat* yes, my camera – just loved her.

And a couple more, because you just have to see them.  Yes – have to!

No sane person would fail to smile at that smirk!

A rare non-smiling shot!

Where are the dance photographs already?!  Alright, just one more…..

Now for the ones I know you’re really wanting to see!

Sillhouette

Total control (and patience!)

Uh-oh. Watch out, Spidey.

This girl can jump. Amongst a myriad of other things.

Tegan's sister, kindly holding the reflector for us.

I said something funny. No, really!

One of my absolute favourites.

Not afraid of heights. Tegan, I mean.

Can you say "adorable"? Go on - say it. Now!

Best. Shoes. Ever.

Better let her in, or she'll strike these poses all day!

Well, that’s all until next time.  Which will hopefully be a lot sooner than this was since the last time.  I hope you enjoyed seeing these even half as much as I enjoyed taking them.

God bless.
