Senior Portraits

21 March 2022

Minneapolis Senior Photographer | Lake Harriet

One of my favorite parts about being a senior photographer in Minneapolis, is being able to see the unique and individual qualities shine through when I capture my seniors. Add in a beautiful location like Lake Harriet with perfect afternoon lighting… chef’s kiss! Lake Harriet has some really cool features such as the bandstand, bike tunnel, stairs, and nature areas to be able to shoot in. And don’t forget about the trolley and the trolley station. There are so many beautiful backdrop options that it makes it one of my favorite spaces to capture portraits in Minneapolis in. After you session, grab yourself an ice cream cone and watch live music at the bandstand!

If you are interested in a senior portrait session, contact me and we can chat about your session and reserve the date! michelle@michelletanner.net

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.
