From Planning to Finished Artwork
Personalized From the Start
Before your session, we’ll connect by Phone or Zoom so we can get to know each other. I’ll learn about you, your horse or dog, and what you want from your session. From there, we’ll plan the location, timing, outfits, colors, tack, and all the little details together.
Guided & Easy
When session day arrives, you don’t have to know what to do — that’s my job. I’ll guide you through poses, help you and your animal feel comfortable, and work at their pace. We won’t rush or force things. I’ll look for the natural moments that make the photographs feel like you.
Your Images, Your Way
Once your horse or dog photographs are beautifully edited, we’ll schedule your private image reveal. You’ll see your images for the first time, choose your favorites, and I’ll help you decide how you’d like to enjoy them — from digital images to albums and beautiful artwork for your home.
Ways to Enjoy Your Photographs

– More Than a Photographer –
Your Dog & Equine Photographer in Tennessee i’m Nicole.I’m a horsewoman, dog lover, and photographer — I’ve been around horses for decades, and I’ve lived this world long before I picked up a camera professionally. I’ve ridden, shown, and worked alongside trainers and riders in Germany and the United States, with experience in dressage, reining, cutting, ranch riding and other Western disciplines. I know how to read a horse, understand their movement and timing, and recognize the little details that make them who they are — whether we’re creating portraits at home, photographing you in the saddle, or capturing your competition partner in the show ring.
Dogs have always been part of my life, too. I love getting to know their personalities, quirks, and the connection they share with their people.
And from planning your session to choosing your favorite images and creating artwork for your home, I’m here for the entire experience.
Whether it’s your heart horse, competition partner, once-in-a-lifetime dog, or simply the animal who feels like family, my goal is simple:
To know your animal well enough to catch the moments everyone else might miss — and create photographs you’ll never get tired of looking at.
