The entire experience with Nicole Pols Photography has become an experience I treasure just as much as the photos themselves. I had never done a photo shoot with my animals before, but Nicole made everything super easy and fun. Any self-consciousness I had melted right away under her direction. The whole session was a joy and she has THE BEST ideas for poses, backdrops, and making magic with the light! Best of all Nicole really picked up on our personalities and relationship, and she managed to bring that through expertly in the images.
Having these photos means more to me than I can possibly express, and I’m forever thankful for the beautiful memories that Nicole captured and created!

Nicole has now created beautiful photography for me three separate times in the last few years! Most recently she photographed my daughters and I with our senior horse. Nicole came and captured such beautiful pictures for us! I will forever be thankful for these wonderful memories she created for us! Nicole is phenomenal in her photography and you will not be disappointed in letting her photograph your special moments in life!

Absolutely 100% recommend! Nicole is such an awsome photographer! She took pictures of me and my boyfriend and they were amazing! Was so much fun, I was nervous at first but it washed away as we started talking and having fun! Loved how they turned out!

Nicole is seriously the best! I knew the pics would be amazing, but I didn’t think they’d look like a fairytale! So happy she captured the most beautiful pictures of my family while my baby is still little 😍 I highly recommend Nicole to anyone!

Frequently Asked Questions

Nope.
I work with your horse as they are—curious, distracted, maybe a little chaotic. That’s real life, and honestly, that’s where the best moments come from.

Keep it simple. Neutrals, denim, earthy tones always photograph best.
Nothing too busy—this is about you and your horse, not your outfit.

Most sessions happen at your barn or a location we choose together.
I’m a horse photographer based in Tennessee and travel across Georgia and Alabama, so I’ll come to you.

Everyone says this at first.
You’ll feel it for about 5 minutes, and then you’ll forget the camera is even there. I guide you the whole time—nothing stiff or forced.

Totally normal.
We work with your horse, not against them. Some of the best photos happen in between the “imperfect” moments.

Yes—but it won’t feel like posing.
I’ll guide you in a way that feels natural, so your photos actually look like you.

Just reach out through my contact page, and we’ll get your date on the calendar.
I only take a limited number of sessions each month, so it’s always best to book early.

Your Equestrian Photographer i’m Nicole. your Horse Photographer, hype-woman, animal-lover and best friend.


Hi, I’m Nicole—your equestrian photographer and horse lover behind the camera.
I’ve been around horses for years. I started with English riding back in Germany and later spent a lot of time working alongside cutting and reining trainers.
So I’m not just showing up with a camera—I understand how horses think, move, and react. And as a rider myself, I know what you’re looking for.

I don’t believe in forcing anything. I work with your horse, not against them, and I’ll guide you through the session so it feels easy, calm, and natural.

HORSE SHOWS Where Every Moment Matters

the dust, the nerves, the cheers, and all the action in the arena. I’m there to capture the real moments: the runs, the wins, the behind-the-scenes laughs, and everything in between.


Whether it’s your first show, chasing a buckle, or just enjoying the day with your horse, I make sure the photos tell the story of your day. From reining to ranch riding, cutting, youth classes, or family moments, I’m there for it all.

Kind Words

Nicole is wonderful to work with!

For our cutting horse shows, she is always professional, on time, prepared, and no hassle. She gets wonderful shots of the action and candids, too. She quickly learned the personalities and culture of our shows and fit right in. Her photos are artistic and authentic. She is great to work with when we need photos for media. We are so glad she is a part of our team! Audra Dailey
