Wayzata Photographer :: Photographer Shoots Photographer

Headshots, Portraits

I would like to introduce you to Amy Dokken from Studio Starfish. Isn’t she a doll?!? I met Amy about a year ago when we attended a photography workshop together. I am truly blessed to be able to network with other Minneapolis based photographers that turn into friends. The more I learn about Amy, the more I realize we have in common. We both love Volvo cars, love travel/living abroad, and of course the best part, the love for all things Nikon! Us Nikonians must stick together and take on the photography world!

I recently had the chance to spend a couple hours goofing around Downtown Wayzata with Amy in an attempt for both of us to collect new images of ourselves. This is no easy task. After all, I’m a photographer because being in front of the lens is just too awkward. I shot some totally gorgeous images of Ms. Amy. I’m honored to know her and she is truly an asset to the Minneapolis photography community. Oh, and she blogged some images of me over here.

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.
