Cathy Anderson for TPS Photography and Outex waterproof camera cases 1

TPS Photographer is a group of professional, certified photographers from Morganton, NC that specializes in portraiture, sports, and family work. They've used Outex cases for years to help differentiate their work, and create unique, memorable shots their customers love. Chris Garner, Cathy Anderson, and Ben Earp form the artistic team at TPS Photography. Our studio is located in Morganton, NC in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, and the only studio in the country which offers three Certified Professional Photographers under one roof. Why is that important? There are only 5,000 Certified Professional Photographers in the world. This means that we are internationally certified and had to pass a rigorous testing procedure that is equivalent to a lawyer passing the bar exam. We are all very passionate about the art of photography, which is illustrated clearly in our work. Collectively, we have nearly four decades of professional photographic experience.

Photography runs in our blood. Chris learned everything he knows about printing and portraiture from his dad, and is actually a third-generation photographer. His grandfather, Ben Williams, and his father, Gary Garner, founded Garner-Williams studio, formerly in downtown Morganton and our current studio's predecessor. From the early days in a print lab in Morganton, to the classically modern portrait studio of today, Chris has built a rock-solid, client-driven studio focused on customer service. With nearly two decades of experience, his business expertise and desire to craft timeless heirlooms create a winning solution for a thriving portrait studio.
