Cathy Anderson (TPS)

TPS Photography is a group of professional, certified photographers from Morganton, NC specializing in portraiture, sports, and family work. They've used Outex waterproof camera housings for years to differentiate their work and create the kind of unique, memorable shots their clients love.

Chris Garner, Cathy Anderson, and Ben Earp form the artistic team at TPS Photography. Their studio in Morganton, NC — nestled in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains — is the only studio in the country with three Certified Professional Photographers under one roof. There are only 5,000 CPPs in the world, a credential equivalent in rigor to passing the bar exam. Collectively, the TPS team brings nearly four decades of professional photographic experience to every shoot.

Photography runs deep at TPS. Chris Garner is a third-generation photographer — his grandfather Ben Williams and father Gary Garner founded the predecessor studio, Garner-Williams, in downtown Morganton. From early days in a print lab to a classically modern portrait studio, Chris has built a client-driven business focused on timeless heirlooms and exceptional service, with nearly two decades of experience behind the lens.

Cathy Anderson is a second-generation photographer and educator based in North Carolina. She holds her Certified Professional Photographer, Master Photographer, and Photographic Craftsman degrees from Professional Photographers of America (PPA), and her award-winning work has been featured in national news media, magazines, art galleries, and the PPA Loan Collection. A sought-after speaker and educator, she has presented at Shutterfest, SYNC, Canon Corporation, and Imaging USA.

Her specialties include adventure, extreme sports, and landscape photography — what she calls "sportraits" — along with in-camera artistry and dynamic lighting. The Outex system is a key part of her kit, letting her take her Canon gear into rivers, rain, and any environment the shoot demands, without sacrificing image quality or camera control.

TPS brings a modern yet classic feel to every image, guaranteeing that family heirlooms remain timeless. They love to travel and have photographed families and groups across the United States. Every custom portrait is printed in their in-house print lab — full control from capture to final print.

If you're a portrait or adventure photographer looking to expand your creative range with waterproof camera protection, the Outex system is what professionals like Cathy rely on.
