DANNY WILLIAMS

Danny has been a photographer for over 20 years. His passion for photography started while in college as a photojournalist. He worked in the newspaper industry for a few years before starting Lifeworks Photography Studio and Williams Group Photography in 2008 with Stephanie. He has a love for all kinds of photography, including still shooting film and learning alternative photography processes such as wetplate collodion. While photography is his passion, he has a deep appreciation for all things art. Him and Stephanie started the Daniel and Stephanie Williams Fund for the Arts a few years ago with the intent of funding art in the Rochelle community.

STEPHANIE WILLIAMS

Steph leads our team with her wealth of knowledge and skills in marketing and public relations. She is the glue that holds this team of talented photographers together and keeps them on schedule. When she’s not in the studio, she’s working with the Wills Chiropractic team, providing them the same marketing and public relations service.

Steph and her husband, Danny, have two children and both actively serve in the Rochelle community. When Steph isn’t working she enjoys being outside with her family and soaking up all the sun she can either by a pool or traveling to the beach. She is found usually surrounded by fury baby animals and holding a book in her hand…or a cocktail.

EMILY HOUSTON

Emily is the youngest of four siblings and lives in Stillman Valley. She has enjoyed photography ever since she was really young and started her own business when she was a senior in high school. Along with photography, she also enjoys long-boarding, playing the piano, and going to coffee shops. She is blessed to say she has worked with Lifeworks/Williams Group Photography since spring of 2019. She looks forward to the years ahead being a part of the Lifeworks/Williams Group Team!

TAMMY KETTLESON

Tammy and her husband Jon raised their family in the Rochelle/Creston area. She retired from 20+ years of working in school and sport photography. Working with Lifeworks/Williams Group Photography has given her the opportunity to continue something she has always enjoyed.

Her hobbies include camping, traveling, gardening and being a grandma to 7 awesome grandchildren.
