Dreamscape photography... Real life, only better.

Heather Larkin is a Georgia portrait photographer

I’ve spent twenty years chasing a light that doesn’t exist in the real world. I don't photograph 'real life' because I’m far more interested in how life feels when you’re dreaming. To me, a forest is a cathedral of moss, and a city alleyway is a corridor of hidden magic.  The golden haze of sunset is my love affair. 

My work is built on a single, stubborn rule: it is always happy. I don’t have nightmares, so I don't create them. Instead, I use vibrant color, ethereal 'dreamscape' glow, and a touch of fantasy to find the radiant joy in every person I photograph.. from the leap of a dancer to the quiet wonder of a child.

I’ve retired the standard studio and the 'everyday' pose. I’m now focused on a limited number of highly creative, deeply intentional sessions for those who want to step out of the mundane and into the Dreamscape.

Every image isn't just a portrait. it’s a window into a world that never really existed but where the light never fades and the magic never ends.

Sessions available for people who want pretty dream images of either themselves or their children. I've served maternity clients, ballet dancers, children and parents, high school seniors, fantasy authors and more.
