WHAT IS A DREAM FACTORY PORTRAIT SESSION?

“We are such stuff as dreams are made on.”

— William Shakespeare

Where Whimsy, Memory, and Art Collide

Have you ever imagined your child flying on the back of a dragon, or your dog walking beside you in a starlit dreamscape? Dream Factory Portrait Sessions take the stories in your heart—the love, the imagination, the memories—and bring them to life in richly detailed, artistic portraits that blend photography with fantasy.

What Makes a Dream Factory Session Unique?

Dream Factory Sessions aren’t traditional portraits. They’re personal stories told through imagery, crafted using a combination of your photos, creative design, and artistic tools—including AI—to build something that simply can’t exist in real life.

Each piece is carefully designed with your input. Whether your vision is playful, emotional, surreal, or serene, we’ll work together to shape the perfect concept and composition.

✅ Available for:

  • Children with wild imaginations
  • Pets with big personalities
  • Memorial portraits for beloved companions
  • Whimsical scenes just for fun

How It Works

1. You Share Your Idea
Tell me about your pet, your child, or your vision. Is there a story you want to tell? A feeling you want to capture?

2. We Gather Photos
Depending on the subject, I’ll either photograph them in person—or you can provide your own images if a session isn’t possible (especially for Rainbow Bridge portraits).

3. I Build the Scene
This is where the magic happens. Using my design tools—including AI when needed—I’ll build your custom artwork from scratch, layering textures, details, and emotion.

4. You Approve the Final Design
Once completed, we’ll review the artwork together. Revisions can be made before your final image is printed.

WHAT ABOUT AI?

Let’s talk about the digital elephant in the room.

Yes, I use AI-powered tools—but these portraits aren’t “computer-generated.” They’re artist-directed compositions. I choose the style, the lighting, the details, and the emotional tone. As with Photoshop, AI is just a paintbrush in a digital toolkit that I control.

For Rainbow Bridge portraits, especially, AI allows me to create scenes even from limited or imperfect photos—something that was nearly impossible before.

Who Are Dream Factory Sessions For?

These portraits are perfect for anyone who wants more than a snapshot.

  • For children who want to become knights, fairies, or intergalactic heroes.
  • For dog moms who want to see their pup as the majestic soul they know they are.
  • For grieving pet owners who want to remember their companion in a beautiful, healing way.
  • For you, if you’ve ever looked at a photo and thought, “I wish this moment could have been more.”
