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.
