PHOTOS OF PEOPLE AND THINGS.

Extremely amateur photographer called Kathleen from Brisbane, Australia. I like taking photos of two of my great loves: music and Irish dancing. Sometimes I take photos of other things too. The only thing I ask for is credit where credit is due.

Ellie @ Nationals 2k15

Our little Ellie placed second at Nationals this year in what was one of the biggest competitions at the Championships. It was an amazing, well deserved achievement for such an unassuming hard worker and that night will become a treasured memory for our little dancing family. I was pretty chuffed to be able to photograph the whole thing as it happened despite all my shaking and crying and there are SO MANY MORE that I could post but here’s just a few for now :)

Nationals was hectic and I didn’t get to take nearly as many photos as I would have liked, nor was I able to attend the Ceili/Dance of Champs (had to fly back for my brother’s wedding SO inconvenient) so here are a few relatively quality snaps from the best week of the year for y’all.

(x) Just about to wrap up editing a small avalanche of photos from both the Queensland States and Australian Nationals. Will progressively upload over the next few days :)

Uploading this as a placeholder and a promise of photos soon to come. I’ve been neglecting my camera and this blog for a very long time but after States over the last three days, I’m throwing myself right into sorting this all out.

So for now, here we have the lovely champ Olivia nearly jumping right outta frame.

Two Australians in the 20-21 Top 10!!!!?!

National champ Erin McArthur of Scoil Rince Kimurray, Victoria and Theresa Shaw (Parade of Champions covergirl) of Shaw, Queensland. Congratulations, ladies - I’ve been watching you dance and grow into beautiful, powerful dancers since we were tiny ones in the sub-minors and you deserve these amazing results after all your hard work.

And just fyi, Theresa jumped has worked her way from no recall to a top ten finish in one year. What a lady.
