For English & Western riders who want something real — not stiff, not posed.
Horse and Rider Photography in Tennessee
For English and Western riders who want real, connection-filled moments with their horse — photographed across Tennessee and the surrounding areas.
Real moments. Real connection.
No awkward posing.
Photos with your horse can go one of two ways.
Either it feels easy and fun…
or it turns into you wondering what your horse is doing, what to do with your hands, and hoping at least one photo turns out right.
I’m here to make sure it’s the first one!
Because this isn’t about perfect poses.
Let’s be real… horses don’t care about your Pinterest board.
They’re going to do their own thing.
And honestly?
That’s where the real moments happen.
Sessions are limited each month to keep the experience personal.

Horse and Rider Sessions for English & Western Riders
A Personalized Experience
Whether you ride English, Western, or somewhere in between — this isn’t about discipline. You don’t have to fit into a “style” to belong here. If you love your horse — this is for you.
These horse and rider sessions are designed to feel easy, natural, and true to you and your horse — if you’ve been thinking about doing a session, this is your sign to finally make it happen.
A Horse Photographer Who Understands Horses
I’m a Horse girl first – just like you! There’s a big difference between someone who photographs horses… and someone who truly understands them. I’ve spent years around horses — training, showing, and living this life. So during your session, I’m not guessing.
- I know when your horse needs a second.
- I know when to wait for that perfect moment.
- And I know how to keep things calm instead of overwhelming.
That means your session feels easier… and your photos turn out better because of it.

What You Can Expect From a Horse and Rider Photo Session
A Personalized Experience
I believe in tailoring each horse and rider session to fit your needs and vision. We will chat beforehand to discuss your goals, location ideas, and the overall vibe you’re hoping to achieve. Whether you’re looking for a rustic outdoor Horse and Rider shoot or something more elegant and refined, I will work with you to plan the perfect session.
A Relaxed and Fun Atmosphere
The best photos come from moments when both horse and rider are relaxed and comfortable. I ensure that my sessions are laid-back and enjoyable, giving you plenty of time to settle in and connect with your horse. You’ll have the freedom to be yourself, whether that’s galloping across a field or simply standing with your horse under a beautiful tree.
Attention to Detail
From the lighting and composition to the timing of every shot, I’m dedicated to capturing every detail. I understand how important it is to get that perfect angle, the right moment when the horse’s ears are up, or that split second when both horse and rider look their best. I take my time to ensure that every image showcases the beauty of your relationship.
A Collection of Timeless Photos
At the end of our horse and rider session, you’ll receive a beautiful collection of photos that not only highlight your horse but also the bond you share. These are images that will become cherished keepsakes, telling the story of your connection and capturing the essence of your relationship.

We highly recommend Nicole
We highly recommend Nicole Pols Photography. She took the time to speak with us before the shoot to get a sense of what we were looking for and provided advice on what to wear. We were delighted with the pictures she took of Karsen and her horses. Nicole captured moments we will treasure for a lifetime.
