Minneapolis Photographer :: Starbucks Gift Card Winner!

Personal Projects

Drum roll please…

StarbucksWin

Congrats to Jessi Meyer! (Please excuse the quality of the above picture. It was taken and processed with my iPhone) And can I just say… WOW! When I asked people to post comments on my blog, I had no idea I would be getting comments that would kick my ego in high gear! Thanks everyone! I would like to continue this giveaway. Comment on any blog post I make during the week and every Friday morning I will use the random name picker website to pick a new winner. Now, I do love hearing good things about my work but feel free to leave any kind of (nice) comment. I just want to know you are stopping by. And feel free to leave suggestions on where you would like a gift card from. I’m all ears!

On a personal note, I’m living out of my car. Sounds fun doesn’t it? When I image someone living out of their car I think of a free spirit, a songwriter with a guitar, long hair, bare feet and a location somewhere the sun shines. Certainly not Minnesota. But add rain inside your house, an active 19 month old toddler, a musician and a photographer (artists to the full extent of the definition), living out of your car isn’t as glamorous as it sounds. Thankfully our insurance company hooked us up with one of those extended stay hotels but, man, do I miss being at home, sleeping in my own bed,  and not living out of brown grocery store bags and having all my things in one place.

Tomorrow we are off to Madison, WI. (Ah, the life of a rock and roll star. Ha-ha!) My husband is playing a wedding reception for a dear friend. Junior gets to hang out with Grandpa and Grandma while Mom and Dad take a mini tour of I94, then we will stay in yet another hotel and come home…to another hotel. But I think I’ll document our little tour and report back early next week with a cornucopia of tour shots. So stay tuned and start your comments now for the next drawing!

Peace and love,

Michelle

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.
