Personal Projects

You guys! Guess what?! I am so excited to announce that I won the 2014 St Louis Park Magazine Best of 2014 award of BEST PHOTOGRAPHER! Pinch me! Thank you to everyone who voted for me. It is such an honor and it just feels super awesome that my clients love me so much! I am so grateful for being about to do what I love. I know, cheesy but it’s totally true. Thank you to my friends, family and clients for voting for me and thank you to my family for coming to the ceremony. It was super cool to have my son there to see me accept the award.

So here it is…My framed award and a copy of my write-up in the magazine. Way cool.

“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.
