Your Dog & Horse Photographer in Tennessee & Surrounding Areas i’m Nicole.

Horsewoman, dog lover, and photographer who knows that the best memories are often made with four-legged friends by our side.

Being around horses and dogs has taught me one thing—you can’t rush authentic moments. They happen when everyone is comfortable, having fun, and just enjoying each other. That’s exactly how I approach every session. My goal isn’t just to give you pretty photos. It’s to preserve the relationship that makes those moments so special.

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 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!

What You Can Expect Your Session

Personalized

From choosing the right location to helping with outfits, colors, and timing, I’ll help you put everything together before we ever pick up a camera. Having a plan means you can show up excited instead of wondering what comes next.

Guided & Easy

This isn’t about rushing from pose to pose. We’ll take our time, let things unfold naturally, and create images that feel effortless instead of forced. Some of the best photographs happen when you’re simply enjoying time with your horse or dog.

The Little Details

After I’ve finished editing your gallery, we’ll schedule your reveal! You’ll get to see your images for the first time, pick your favorites, and I’ll help you choose the artwork and products that fit your home and style.

I don’t just photograph horses and dogs—I live alongside them. Years of working with horses and caring for dogs have taught me how to read their body language, earn their trust, and adapt to their personalities. That experience allows me to create authentic images while making the session enjoyable for both you and your animal.

By letting them set the pace. I pay close attention to their body language and adjust as needed. Whether they need a few minutes to settle in or a break during the session, I’m happy to work around what makes them feel safe and comfortable.

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.
