Horse & Rider Portraiture
I have been photographing horses for most of my life, but in 2014 my passion for documenting the bond between horse and rider truly came to life. Since then, I’ve traveled up and down the East Coast chasing those fleeting, beautiful moments. My creativity is at its peak when I’m photographing a horse and rider at golden hour—when soft light filters through the trees and everything feels warm, calm, and golden. Whether your horse lives in a world-class facility or in your backyard, I am here to photograph anyone whose horse means everything to them.
While I always capture traditional portraits and essential poses, I’m equally focused on the candid moments in between. Those split-second expressions of connection—paired with natural light and meaningful scenery—allow me to create timeless images you’ll cherish for a lifetime.

Kind words from clients
“I have used Nicole for all my photography sessions with the horses I have had and she truly does an amazing job with every single picture she takes. She can capture every aspect of the relationship between a horse and their human. I forever hold every session with Nicole close to my heart because of the precious memories she is capable of capturing.” - Eden
“Nicole's work is nothing short of breathtaking. I hire her every year without hesitation, and our shoots are one of my favorite memories of each summer. I feel that my horses' personalities (and my love for them) really shine through in every photo, and looking back on them instantly brings me back to that moment and lets me feel my love for them tenfold. Nicole's photos of me and my horses are some of my most cherished photos, and I look forward to more photo adventures with her!” - Shelby
“I got portraits done by Nicole, and was blown away with the results! She was so sweet and made me feel so confident during my portraits and went way above and beyond during our session. They are hands down my favorite photos of my horse and I! I definitely will be using her for all my photos in the future!! I seriously cannot recommend her enough.” - Jill
