Minneapolis Music Photographer :: Ali Gray Live + Win a Starbucks Gift Card!

Hello folks! It's amazing what a little sunlight will do for your mood. Sure, rain is in the forecast but that means the snow will melt faster. For this, I am thankful! I'm also thankful for one, Ali Gray. I met Ali many moons ago when she joined the Martin Zellar Neil Diamond tribute show that ...

Stillwater Engagement Photographer :: Shooting in the Stillwater Caves

The snow is melting and birds are singing. Spring is in the air. Yet I still find myself daydreaming of Mexico with my little family. I’m abruptly transported back to reality when I step out of my car into a huge puddle of water. Can you even call it a puddle when it is so full that is soaks through ...

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.
