Get to know me
Hey, I'm Tegan
I've been married for over 20 years to my best friend Phil, and I have two awesome daughters, Taryn & Caity I've been a professional photographer for over fifteen years, shooting weddings, families and newborns as well as in the commercial sector. I've been volunteering for hospice as their photographer for over five years, and it's been an honour to work with many lovely people and families over this time.
My shooting style.
My personality while shooting might best be described as enthusiastic. I get super excited when the light is perfect and the scene in front of me is inspiring. I might even squeal a little. I've been known to climb trees and fences to get the shot, as well as lying on the ground (or hiding in bushes - #notcreepy). I sing off key to the music we're playing, I'll chase kids around, make mum jokes, and it's fair to say that I've developed some epic smile wrinkles from grinning behind the camera all day.
Fun Facts
It wasn't Elvis
Phil and I renewed our vows in Las Vegas for our 10 year anniversary. We had some friends with us, chose a random chapel that could fit us in, had a hens and stags do on the day of the ceremony and we had a freaking epic time.
I'm a home body
Give me an episode of Game of Thrones or The Last Kingdom, some dark chocolate and a warm fire and I'm one happy gal. My 'to read' book list is as long as my Netflix 'to watch' list, and there are not enough hours in my life to consume all of that goodness.
My favourite things
Lasagne, coriander, old heavy metal, my cat Albert, pygmy marmosets, warm slippers, short hikes, reading, autumn, bourbon, dancing, The Armchair Expert Podcast & painting
I'm afraid of
Moths. I have a bizarre fear of moths. They have moth dust and they get in people's ears. Eww. You should have seen me when I took the kids to Butterfly World. It was the stuff from my nightmares.
“Life is amazing. And then it's awful. And then it's amazing again. And in between the amazing and awful it's ordinary and mundane and routine. Breathe in the amazing, hold on through the awful, and relax and exhale during the ordinary. That's just living heartbreaking, soul-healing, amazing, awful, ordinary life. And it's breathtakingly beautiful.”―L.R. Knost
