                                            Hi beautiful people, Happy October! Today I am celebrating 4 years in photography business. I decided to do a special post on here since I don’t think I had done it in a long time. 
My name is Keala and I am the face behind Dream Catcher’s Pictures. I am happily married and a mom of two girls who are my world. 
It seems like these 4 years had just flown by. Unlike many photographers who have a long family history with cameras or some who have gone to school in photography/art, I am from a completely different background. My degrees are in mathematics and statistics and I was working in medical research field before all this happened. When the pandemic hit, I decided to learn how to use a camera and take good photos of my kids. I fell in love, quickly. A few months later, my small business was born. One thing that I never could have imagined is where it is at today. 
My clients, all of you, I am so so grateful to you. The relationship and trust we have built along the way is probably what I love most about doing what I do. In these 4 years I have some families that I have photographed 5 times, 7 times… it’s crazy! I never take that for granted and I vow to always give my best. 
This past weekend I got to photograph 3 families and they are all repeat clients who truly feel like friends now. 
I made a few photography friends along this journey! Because most of us work alone, sometimes it does feel lonely but these amazing ladies have made it so much better and fun. In any world the relationship that’s built upon mutual trust and selflessness is rare, let alone in this industry. I really appreciate them! 
Lastly, I am super proud of myself. Truly. I am fully aware that I am lucky but I also don’t want to diminish my hardworking days and long nights. I hustled a lot and I still do! 
I can’t wait to see how the next year unfolds. Thank you for letting me share my passion and riding the journey with me! 💗
