Your Hosts

Your Host – Chelsea Williams
CHELSEA WILLIAMS – I knew I wanted to be a photographer since I was thirteen years old. When I was fourteen I started taking night classes at a community college just to learn. I kept at it and got a BS in Photography from Sam Houston State University in 2007. I have been in business ever since.
I now have two wonderful children of my own and I truly love photographing small children and families. I currently do photo shoots with newborns, families, seniors, maternity, engagement and bridal sessions.
Also, for those who know you only get one shot at a first impression I offer quality head shots and business portraits. I offer photo shoots either outdoors with natural light or I can bring studio equipment to a home or office for indoor shoots. I live in Conroe, TX but work all over Huntsville, Montgomery, Magnolia, The Woodlands and Spring, TX.
Whatever your photography needs are with Chelsea Williams Photography THE FOCUS IS ON YOU!

Your Host – Dick Schissler

His main interest in photography is developing a better understanding of cinematography in film. The technical side of taking photos and shooting film has been and will always be the core of his love for photography and film.
