Your child doesn’t just play Minecraft.
They build worlds. They solve problems. They imagine what could be.
Crafting on Cloud 9 is a Minecraft-inspired portrait experience for creative kids, designed to celebrate imagination, curiosity, and confidence … exactly as your child is right now.
This experience is available year-round and is part of our Childhood Magic Sessions at Cloud 9 Studios.
A Minecraft-Inspired Portrait Experience for Creative Kids
Some children express themselves with words.
Some through movement.
And some through building, crafting, and creating entire universes block by block.
Crafting on Cloud 9 is designed for children who:
- Love Minecraft and creative games
- Enjoy problem-solving and storytelling
- Feel most confident when they are creating
At Cloud 9 Studios, we don’t ask children to “stand still and smile.”
We invite them to step into a world that feels familiar, exciting, and entirely theirs.
Why Parents Choose Crafting on Cloud 9
Childhood changes quickly. Interests evolve. One day they’re building worlds — and suddenly that season is gone.
Many parents come to us saying:
- “I don’t want to miss who my child is right now.”
- “This stage feels important, even if I can’t explain why.”
- “I want more than a quick photo — I want something meaningful.”
Crafting on Cloud 9 exists to honor this stage of childhood with intention and heart.
You’re Not Just Booking Photos … You’re Being Guided
For nearly two decades, Cloud 9 Studios has helped families celebrate childhood as it truly is — imaginative, joyful, and wonderfully imperfect.
Our role is simple:
- To see your child
- To create a space where they feel confident leading
- To turn their creativity into artwork that tells their story
You don’t need to know how this should look.
You just need to know who your child is. We’ll take care of the rest.
What Happens During a Crafting on Cloud 9 Session
1. Dream Together 💎
We start with a Discovery Call. A conversation about your child — what they love, how they think, and what lights them up.
2. Step Into Their World 💎
Your child enters our Minecraft-inspired studio set filled with oversized blocks, tools, textures, and space to explore. They’re encouraged to interact, build, and play — just like they would in their own world.
3. Let Them Lead 💎
There’s no posing script. Your child’s curiosity and confidence guide the session, allowing their personality to shine naturally.
4. Turn Play Into Artwork 💎
After the session, we invite you back for a personalized Design Consultation where their images are transformed into finished artwork for your home — portraits that reflect who they are in this moment of childhood.
What These Portraits Become in Your Home
Crafting on Cloud 9 portraits often turn into:
- Custom wall art for playrooms, bedrooms, or family spaces
- Storybook Albums that tell a visual story of this stage of childhood
- Keepsakes parents treasure long after this phase has passed
These aren’t just images.
They’re proof your child was deeply known and deeply celebrated.
What Parents Are Saying
“I had no idea what this Minecraft game was all about. I just knew my son was obsessed with it. After I told him I booked a photo shoot for him to be in a Minecraft world he lit up like it was Christmas morning! He absolutely loved his time in the studio and the photos we have hanging in his room are not only his favorites, but mine too!” – Michelle D.
“Every year we bring our daughters to Cloud 9 Studios and let them choose their favorite theme for their birthday portraits. This year Charlotte chose Minecraft! It is her favorite because she loves the animals. Jeanine worked with her to create scenes and ultimately an album design that was exactly what she imagined it would be!” – Lauren C.
“My son is no stranger to Cloud 9 Studios. I have brought him to Jeanine and the team since he was born. When he was 7 his big obsession was Minecraft. When I saw that they had Crafting on Cloud 9 at the studio I knew this would be perfect for him. He loves to act and make the craziest of faces, so of course the jumping from TNT exploding was his favorite part of the experience!! I am so glad we had these done because now I will always remember how obsessed with this game he was and he will know that maybe dad somewhat gets the idea of the game.” – Adam M.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this an official Minecraft session?
Crafting on Cloud 9 is a Minecraft-inspired portrait experience, not an official Minecraft or Mojang event. We use creative elements and environments inspired by the game to celebrate your child’s imagination while keeping the focus on who they are.

This experience is best suited for children roughly 6–12 years old, though we always meet kids where they are. If your child loves to build, imagine, and create, this experience is likely a great fit.
My child is shy. Will this still work?
Yes. Many children who are shy or reserved feel more comfortable when they’re engaged in something they love. Because this experience is play-based and child-led, kids often relax naturally and show us their true personality.

The studio session typically lasts about 30 minutes, followed by a separate ordering appointment where you’ll view your child’s images and select your artwork.

We recommend simple, comfortable clothing that allows your child to move and play easily. During your discovery call, we’re happy to offer specific outfit guidance to help everything come together beautifully.

Yes, parents are encouraged to stay. Your presence helps your child feel comfortable, and we often invite parents to observe, enjoy the process, and see sides of their child that make this experience so special.

Families often choose custom wall art, albums, and treasure boxes designed to reflect their child’s personality and interests. All artwork is created to be enjoyed in your home for years to come.
