The Black Background Collective brings timeless, high-impact black background sessions to equestrian facilities throughout Grand Rapids, Holland, Byron Center, and the greater West Michigan area.


We create striking portraits that highlight your horse’s strength, beauty, and individuality—with convenience and efficiency for both owners and barn managers.


There is a minimum of three confirmed sessions to hold an event, making it easy to coordinate among barnmates or during a clinic or prep week. It’s especially ideal to schedule around show weekends, while your horse is already groomed and show-ready. All that is necessary is a barn aisle, or arena doorway.
