Poetry in Capturing Wedding Moments, Freezing Love

Hi, I'm Song Johns the creative happy girl behind the camera and the founder of Blooming Dreams Photo. As most photographers did, I started taking pictures as a hobby 10 years ago. Photography using my creativity has become my passion. Making other people happy has become more passionate over time. Now it is my full-time job that I enjoy. My business motto is to treat others as you wanted to be treated. I have met so many couples and families including small children. I always do feel blessed to get to know them and that they have become my lifetime clients. Every time they come back or refer me to their friends or family, I want to do my best, blow their minds away, and don't want to disappoint them at all.
