I believe it takes a horse person to truly create the kind of images that make an equestrian swoon. I've been where you are. I understand the fulfillment, worry, the rollercoaster of emotion that is having a heart horse. Your story and partnership is unique, and I want to tell that beautiful story through my images!
The partnership between a horse and their human is worth documenting. The beautiful, ordinary moments, the pony hugs and kisses, the being together. These are the stories I love to capture in photographs. Hi there. My name is Kreeta. I'm a traveling equine photographer based in The Hague, The Netherlands!
I love more things than not, including but not limited to a good night sleep, tea, psychology (which I study), and travel!
14 days after your session we will view your finished images together. Artisanal heirloom products, hand selected by me & designed to suit your style and home will be delivered to your home within 90 days from ordering.
During your personalized portrait session, we will spend a moment in time together while I capture some of your dearest memories in an effortless and natural way. I will guide you and your horse every step of the way to ensure the best results!
After booking, you will receive a welcome package which will walk you through all preparations. A few weeks prior to your session we will also have a pre-session planning call to finalize plans and get to know each other!

Do you run a tack store or do you have your own collection of tack or apparel? Are you in need of professional product photographs that speak to the right audience? Get in touch via email (info@kreetales.com) to receive a custom quote. I can either come to you, or you can send products to me and I will photograph them in a requested setting and location. Sessions are priced on the basis of the number of products, not per image.
Invite me to set up studio at your competition or event and provide people the opportunity to have their horse immortalized in a Fine Art -portrait
I will take care of everything from flyer design and booking systems to instructing you on how to best organize the day to ensure a smooth experience for everyone. Your clients will receive an accessible, fun, and relaxed photography experience and there is zero cost involved for you as the organizer. A suitable, barn-isle type location free of foot traffic must be made available for the duration of the event.
In today's digital age, a handful of images are posted on social media platforms likely to have been forgotten by the time the next generations start searching for their stories. Archival quality albums and wall art on the other hand become family heirlooms, passed on through generations -held dear for years to come.

Wall Art / Starting at 500€
Below you can find answers to most frequently asked questions. I hope these provide answers to any questions you may have in your mind after reading the information on this site. That being said, know that if you ever have any further questions, I'm only an email away!

BTW/VAT is included in all portrait session and barn visit prices, as well as product prices. They are not included for commercial collections. Travel fees depend on location, will be disclosed before booking and are divided among clients photographed in the same general area.
I speak English and Finnish fluently, and have a basic understanding of Dutch. My contracts, invoices, and all business-related communication will take place in English.
*Suomalaisten asiakkaideni kanssa kommunikaatio, sopimukset, sekä laskut hoidetaan toki mahdollisuuksien mukaan aina suomen kielellä!
You may use your images on both personal and professional platforms, as long as you do not directly profit from the use of the images. This means that you can use the images to advertise your person & business in online (website, social media etc.) and printed material (flyers etc.) created by yourself or your team, but you may not sell the images digitally or as a part of a product (such as a calendar). Additionally, you may not transfer publication rights to a third party, such as a magazine or a contest. If you are interested in having your images published in a magazine or a contest, please approach me for a separate licensing agreement.
This is the number one question I get asked by my clients before booking, so let me set you at ease! By the time we reach your session date, you will know everything you need to know about getting ready for a photoshoot.
After your booking has been confirmed, I will send over a complete preparation guide to help you in the process. This guide goes over everything from hair, makeup, outfit selection, and color palettes to best preparing your horse. The guide also provides some information on how my sessions generally work and gives numerous helpful tips + tricks for mentally and physically preparing for the experience!
If you still have questions or need help with narrowing down outfit options, we can 100% have a chat about preparation before your session!
100% -no question about it! I have a long background with horses and believe me when I say, I have seen it all. As a professional, I have a number of tips and tricks up my sleeve to make the session a comfortable experience for both people and horses. Horses will always be horses, and I take a very relaxed and patient approach to photographing them. We can always allow an eating/peeing break in the stall to calm down, or give your horse a little lunge to get rid of excess energy. This is also why I reserve plenty of photography time for my sessions. I always tell my clients that I only need a split second where everything falls into place, and you can trust me to catch that moment!
For a session and a printed product purchase using the print credit you can expect a minimum investment of 500€. With this you can receive your photography experience, a beautiful gallery of digital files for social media, as well as two matted fine art prints -and still have some credit left over! Or you may choose museum-quality wall art for every room, topped off with an heirloom album and spend 20.000€. It's truly up to you! You only buy what you love. Flexible payment plans are available.
