Minneapolis Photographer :: Spotlight on Music Producer Patrik Tanner

Music, Personal Projects

On a regular basis I get fantastic feedback on the songs that I have on my website and slide shows. The comments I get mean so much to me. Music is important. Dick Clark once said, “Music is the soundtrack of our lives.”. I often find myself living inside a song. I can be pushing the stroller in the mall with a tune in my head… the soundtrack to MY life. Because music is such a big part of my life, I love to pair music up with my images. Lucky for me, I married a music producer! Because I’m a proud wife, I’d like to introduce you to the man behind my music, my husband, Patrik Tanner. I’m a lucky girl to have custom songs written and produced for me and my websites.

There is a need for licensed music on websites, blogs, cafes & coffee shops. And just how cool is it to have a custom song written and recorded for your website? Very cool! Are you a fellow photog looking for the most perfect (and affordable) music to set to your images? Or a business person looking for background music on your website? Patrik is the musician/producer you need to call. He can write, produce & record a song to fit your needs and all at a reasonable fee. He has also released 9 full length albums. You can listen to them on iTunes or at www.cdbaby.com.

Patrik’s website is getting updated but you can visit him at www.patriktanner.com. Or become a fan on Facebook. I know he would love to connect with you about your specific project needs. Or to talk about 70s glam music. Whichever you prefer. 😉

Well, that’s me being a proud wife. I just had to give a “shout out” to my very talented husband. I’m honored to be his wife! I also have to share this picture of him as a young boy in Sweden at the age of 3. Music is our lives and we are proud to be involved in the music industry.

Minneapolis MN Wedding Photographer

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.
