Rolesville's Womanless Beauty Contest and BBQ

David had the rare opportunity to photograph the "Womanless Beauty Contest" for the Rolesville Chamber this past Friday night. Yes, I said womanless.  Some of our male friends and colleagues with guts got all dressed up to raise awareness and funds for a little boy named Matthew.

Matthew has Alternating Hemiplegia of Childhood also known as AHC. This is a very rare and painful children's neurological disorder.  For more information on AHC and to find out how you can help please go to https://www.facebook.com/CureAHC

Here are a couple of shots that I took of David capturing the moment with my Sony.

Aren't our guys lovely?

Miss Raleigh USA Shoot at Joyner Park Wake Forest

Had a great photo shoot this morning featuring Miss Raleigh out at Joyner Park in Wake Forest. It was a pleasure working with such a beautiful and talented young lady.
David was determined to get that perfect shot. I shot these of David doing just that. More photos of this shoot coming tomorrow. Keep an eye out for Marcie Trivette and what she has coming up in the future.

David and Bandit Enjoying Play Time

David Williams and I enjoyed our day off with our beautiful dog BANDIT. Here are a few shots of David and Bandit that I took with my Sony HX50. They turned out pretty good.

Downtown Wake Forest Business Photography Walk

David and I took a walk downtown Wake Forest this morning. He took along his professional Canon 5D Mark III and I took my Sony HX50V so that I could capture him doing what he loves. 

We had the pleasure of meeting Phillip and Laura Cashwell, owners of "For Old Times Sake Antiques" located on White Street in Wake Forest. I have posted a few photos that I took of their store here on my blog. You can spend hours in there just looking at everything. They have so many Vintage, Antiques and Whatnots you can just go hog wild.

If you have not visited "For Old Times Sake Antiques" please go by and see Phillip and Laura. They are so friendly and have great knowledge of the antiques that they sell.

We also met a very nice artist that works part-time in the bookstore - "The Storyteller's Book Store of Wake Forest". Her name is Anne E. Howard.

David photographed her painting right outside the book store. She has her work on the wall of the book store. Stop by and see one of our local artists. Learn about Anne Howard by reading her bio that follows.

On our walk we also visited the North Carolina General Stores. Maureen Seltzer is a very talented artist that was painting a scene with a turtle. Go by and see her work, its wonderful.
 











Keep visiting to learn more about our local businesses right her in Wake Forest. More posts are coming soon.

Making Wishes Come True - Ronald McDonald House of Durham

David Williams and I had the pleasure of meeting some remarkable people at the Leadership Team meeting tonight at the Ronald McDonald House of Durham. If you don't know what they, do you will be amazed. 

They provide "a home away from home" for families with sick children. They offer private bedrooms, community spaces, home cooked meals and lots of support from staff, volunteers and other families. All this allows families to focus on whats important - their sick child. Research has shown that children in hospitals heal faster and deal with things better if their family is right their with them. The Ronald McDonald House allows this to happen.

David and I believe very strongly in the Ronald McDonald House. Having two daughters of our own, we understand the love and concern when our children are sick. Getting them the best health care and being close to them during the healing process is all parents want to do for their children.

If you are interested in helping families at the Ronald McDonald House of Durham....you can donate time or money. David and I donate our time and services to the RMH. Contact Holly Hutchinson at 919-281-1062 or Holly@RonaldHouseDurham to learn about wish list needs. www.RonaldHouseDurham.org

Photography and Video at Joyner Park, Wake Forest

David and I spent most of the morning out at Joyner Park in Wake Forest, shooting some of our own videos for our website and social media using his professional equipment. 

I highly recommend that everyone get professional photography and video for their websites.  You want that first impression of you and your buisness to be high quality and show your professionalism.

If you can't afford to have all your photography done by a professional photographer, like most small business owners, then I would recommend getting a Sony HX50V camera. You can get some great photography and video results using this camera.

This is a image I shot using my Sony, not a professional Canon like David uses. Even though I'm not a professional photographer like David, I can still use my Sony camera to capture some really cool images for my social media.

If you need help learning how to do photography and video using your own camera or iPhone, David Williams offers workshops in the Wake Forest Chamber and soon in the Rolesville Chamber. The next workshop will be on October 23rd at the Wake Forest Chamber.  More Info at www.DWPPC.com You will learn so much....so much information.

Documenting The Work of David Williams - A Raleigh Area Corporate and Event Photographer

I am Brenda Williams, wife of David Williams Photographer and Cinematographer.  I use professional editing software to edit David's photography work as well as assist him in our business.

This is my first blog post on my new Blogger blog.  I'll be using this blog to document the work of my husband, David Williams, as he shoots still and video with his Canon Professional Camera.  David uses the Canon 5D Mark III to shoot both still images and cinema style video.

His core focus is on Corporate, Commercial and Lifestyle photography as well as video. David also does large Corporate and Charity events as well as professional headshots both in studio and on location.  You can find David on the web at DWPPC.com.

I will be using the Sony HX50V digital camera that is pictured here to the right of this text as my source for capturing both still and video images of David working.  I encourage anyone shooting still images and video on the go that is not shooting professionally to get a camera like this whether it be Sony, Canon, Nikon or Other.  However, Sony is hard to beat in the under $500 price range for a camera that is easy to carry around without being bulky while at the same time providing quality results in both still images and video.
