This guy. He’s mine. And he is going to be 5 in 25 days. I might faint. Since I can remember, Elliott’s favorite store has been Barnes and Noble. He started reading sentences and short books when he was two… chapter books the month he turned 4. He doesn’t want to go to the science museum. Instead his favorite field trip involves the book store and Starbucks hot chocolate. Reading ALWAYS trumps bedtime. His book collection rivals his dad’s 700+ wall of books. And yes, his book shelf did crash down. Eden Prairie Family Photographer

I’m so proud of this little guy. He is more than I could have ever imagined. Fun to hang out with. Caring and sensitive towards others. Smart. Handsome. Funny. A leo to a T. And I get to be his mom.

I thank Jesus everyday.

The countdown is on, Gubben. 5! I can’t believe it!

“I’m not sure which is harder,” says Michelle Tanner. “Going to the dentist or talking about oneself.”

Luckily, Michelle’s work does much of her talking for her: fresh, clean, modern. “I work actively to stay up on modern photography trends, but ultimately want to create a timeless product. I love the storytelling aspect of photography. I want you to look back on your images and be taken back to that moment, feeling the same feelings you did when the picture was captured.”

Michelle also understands it can be overwhelming for couples and families to pick a photographer who best complements their personalities. “There are numerous photographers in the Twin Cities area, and we all have tons of passion for what we do,” she says. As to Michelle, her emphasis is on great composition, without forced posing. She possesses a real knack for being in the right place at the right time, capturing natural moments as they happen. Her eye is quick and the shots are crisp, meaning images stand on their own without need for extreme editing or re-touching.

On the professional side, she aims for best possible communication – both timely and clear – before, during and after the wedding or session. She strives for optimism, honesty, organization, flexibility and – as much as possible – a stress-free day for you! Ever-calm amid the storm, Michelle remains “invisible” as needed, but can easily step up to guided directing at a moment’s notice.
