Minnesota Concert Photographer :: Granger Smith at Moondance!

Music, Personal Projects

It’s officially summer and it’s already going too fast! My son will be 2 in a little over a month, my husband and I renewed our vows for our 10th anniversary and I have veggies growing in my garden. Tonight I get to see one of my favorite musicians, Tom Petty! I’m a very happy girl.

Since my husband was playing a couple shows at Moondance Jammin Country, last Friday I was lucky enough to spend the day up in Walker with him. I have spend a few years at Moondance and I always come home with a big smile on my face. Awesome music, friends and tailgating… it’s always a great time. We were going to come home on Friday night but we had so much fun we ended up staying. This week I’ll be post each of the bands I was able to photograph.

First up is Granger Smith. I hadn’t heard of Granger until I read the line up for Moondance. Granger is from Austin, Texas and he is as polite as you would expect and his band was energetic on stage. The chorus hits fast in his songs and the instrumentation is exactly what today’s country is all about. And the fans agree; he has had 3 top 10 singles!

Check out Granger Smith on his website or Facebook!

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.
