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.

Are travel fees & tax included in the session prices?

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!

What languages do you speak & in which language are the contracts in?

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. 

Can I use the images from my session commercially?

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!

How can I best prepare myself & my horse for the 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!

My horse can be difficult to handle -can we still do a photoshoot?

For a session and a printed product purchase using the print credit you can expect a minimum investment of 750€. With this you can receive your photography experience, a beautiful gallery of digital files for social media, as well as a 30x45cm piece of museum-quality wall art. Or you may choose wall art for every room, topped off with an album and spend 20.000€. It's truly up to you! You only buy what you love. Flexible payment plans are available for the remainder of your session fee after the 50% non-refundable retainer, as well as for any product purchases.

How much should I expect to invest in the session?
