about me
Dear Potential New Client,
Thank you for taking the time to get to know me.
My name is Gabriel Kreulen, but you can call me Gabe. I am a photographer based in Tulsa, OK with a passion for documenting the celebrations that mean the most to people. I started getting serious about photography in eighth grade when I got my first camera in 2014. Today, I’m here to help you document your most meaningful celebrations and having fun doing it. Fourteen-year-old me would be so proud!
The creative freedom and artistic expression that comes with capturing images has always been a source of inspiration and fulfillment for me. I am now thrilled to turn my favorite hobby into a fulfilling side hustle.
In summer of 2023, I took a break from the rat race and decided to backpack Europe which has always been a dream of mine. I traveled to eleven different countries during my time there and I got to learn so much about the world and myself along the way. While I was there, I got to take some photos of incredible monuments, gardens, people and found more inspiration. Photography is so special to me because I will be able to relive those moments forever through my images. I also am creating short films full of the hundreds of videos I took while traveling abroad and I can’t wait to share that with you all. I also have a lot of big things planned and I am so excited to get the ball rolling! Find a couple of those films here: https://www.youtube.com/@GabrielKreulen
I graduated from Oklahoma State University in May of 2023 - where I studied marketing, international business, and entrepreneurship. Currently, I am proudly serving as a Talent Acquisition Partner at Saint Francis in Tulsa, OK! Needless to say, I can assist you in your photography needs as well as helping you land your dream job within our health system! Aside from my 8-5 and photography, I also provide resume writing services to ensure that hiring managers will want you to join their team!
Lastly, if you're a music fanatic like me, you can check out my Spotify profile attached to the bottom of my website to see what I’ve been listening to. I am constantly finding new music and I have been curating monthly and yearly playlists for the last several years across all genres. If you have any recommendations, I would love to hear them! Just a heads up, I'll be bringing a speaker to all my shoots, so you can expect a lively soundtrack!
Best,
Your Photographer and Partner

My girlfriend Raechel and I have been together for a little over three years now - she is hands down the coolest and my most favorite person ever. I am trying to train her to be behind the camera so we can double up for wedding shoots! (She took the photo of me on this page) Good job Raech!!!!!!
My party trick is that can tumble... 2010 Oklahoma gymnastics state champion… no big deal!
My favorite animated movie is Ratatouille. My favorite “real life” (???) movie is This is 40… I think. There are a lot of good ones.
