Minneapolis Child Photographer :: Published in Faerie Magazine

Children, Personal Projects

I have some pretty exciting news over here! My picture of Twig the Fairy and Elliott has been published in the latest issue of Faerie Magazine!

We met Twig at the Minnesota Renaissance Festival this past fall. When we entered the gate to the grounds, Elliott spotted Twig and couldn’t take his eyes off her. She handed him a special fairy stone covered in glitter. He kissed her. I could tell he was in love. I was honored to learn that my image of Elliott and Twig would be included as part of the feature of Twig in Faerie Magazine. Grandma ordered six copies.

“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.
