Minneapolis Family Photographer Captures a Moment in Time

Personal Projects

The sun is out today. I’m inside playing catch up with a handful of sessions that need to be edited. Last weekend I had a session at the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum. It was pouring cats and dogs outside… much like most days of spring in Minneapolis this year. Thank goodness we found a nice dry location within one of the greenhouses. I all but forgot that I snapped a couple pictures of the blooms. This particular flower spoke to me that day. I have no idea what it is. Maybe an orchid? I just love the color… it just seems so optimistic and full of hope. It was a great burst of color on a very gray day. I just thought I’d take a break from editing to share it with you. Hopefully it is a sign that we will have a great, sunny and warm summer. I think we could all use a little color and sunshine. Have a wonderful day!

Meet Michelle

“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.
