I just arrived home from Copenhagen where I spent a week and from there I traveled around Denmark and also over to Sweden by ferry which was absolutely beautiful. Being in Scandinavia for a week was such an inspiration to me and I came home with loads of decorating ideas! If you ever have a chance to travel to Denmark I highly recommend it. You will come home refreshed and inspired for sure!
When Finnish photographer Krista Keltanen connected with me on Facebook this morning and I saw her photographs for the first time, and noticed she was from Helsinki (Finland is often considered part of Scandinavia, I knew why I had such a strong attraction to them as the things I saw while traveling made a huge impact on me and how I view design. I also like the objects and places that she photographs as well as her very sweet, feminine style.
Her photos feel very Nordic to me and I love how natural they are but also the lighting — it’s soft and so pretty. Krista sells her work in her etsy shop in case you would like to own one for your home or office — they would also make a beautiful gift because she sells her photographs as prints and also greeting cards.
Have a lovely Monday…

Thank you Holly! =) Have a beautiful day!
Stunning work. The carousel and last two are my favorites. So feminine and soft.
Wow, her photos are beautiful! They have a soft romantic feel to them, the lighting is perfect!
Those are stunning! Such a sweet treat for the eye…
The carousel photo wasn’t taken by Krista. It’s a stock photo that she’s altered slightly (the colors). I would consider this copyright infringement, and is certainly misleading to say the least. Etsy is sadly filled with “artists” like this.
Here is an example of the same photo (which, using tineye, you can see it used many times): http://www.tineye.com/search/5c90ccafbeee15ad8532ed3ba4c3ba0f6cdcaf21/?sort=score&order=desc
I would like to answer to Brian…I dont know why you think that im not the copyright photographer who was taken this “Carousel” photo. You are so wrong about that! I could never steal others photographers photos!!! This photo was taken in Tampere /Finland. It was summer 2009.
Here is also a link, where I have attached a screenshot of the same photo before I havent made any editing yet….You can see that it is raw file and exact the same photo.

she is one of my favorites! I adore Krista’s work!
