Hello, We're Black Studios
What started as a portrait studio in the tiny town of Rutland, SD in 1995 has expanded and evolved through the years, but our values and goals have always been the same. We love to capture your precious memories and moments in time. Whether is is a big event that took hours of planning, your child's homecoming game, senior pictures that fit their personality, or it is just time to refresh the family pictures. Rachel and Mike have two different styles that come together to blend modern creativity and classic portraits so you end up with something that is unique, yet timeless.
Michael
More than anything else, Mike loves classic cars, his community, and spending time with his kids. When not at his 9-5 you can find him at a car show, a local football game (camera in hand of course), or whatever adventure Rachel and Dacey have him up to next.
Rachel
When not take pictures, Rachel owns Digital Suite Marketing helping small-medium businesses in the Sioux Falls area with their digital marketing and incorporating marketing into their business operations. She loves to travel with her husband, Brendan, and is usually running around with her two dogs.
