Minneapolis Photographer :: Northloop + Stone Arch + Mill City

Personal Projects

On a daily basis, I find that the world speeds by me way to fast. We get stuck in our daily routines and forget to stop to breath. We need to inhale. Enjoy the air, the smells, the sights… the same things that we see everyday but we never actually take time to stop and appreciate them. With my son growing up way to fast, I have made a point out of stopping to “smell the roses” daily. I want the feeling to last forever but it can’t. Thank goodness the world has photography. We can capture those feeling in a single image, allowing the feelings to last a lifetime. We can look back on that image years from now and a flood of emotions and senses come back to us in an instant.

Last weekend I had the pleasure of hanging out in Minneapolis with two other fantastic photographer friends. We spent hours in Minneapolis, enjoying the sights, the smells, and time together. Plus, who else is willing to ‘talk shop’ for 4 hours straight without getting bored? Thank you Lisa and Jessica for a fantastic evening out. Here are a few images I captured on our photowalk when I stopped to enjoy the moment.

Love and Peace, Michelle

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.
