Katie Anderson Photography bio picture
  • HELLO and WELCOME!

    Take a quick look around, and I think you'll get a pretty good feel for me, Katie Anderson. I adore precious little newborns, pregnant mamas, and everything 'baby.' When it comes to my work, nothing is more rewarding than to look at a thread of comments and see one complimenting my photography and the next ignoring it completely and ogling over the sleeping angel or smiling beauty pictured above. That's when I know I've hit the mark!

    When it comes to the rest of my life, I love my husband and am shamelessly obsessed with my two little girls, Amity and Verity. No doubt you'll see their sweet faces brighten this screen from time to time!

    Thanks for visiting, and I hope you'll be in touch soon! We may even have something in common:

For you created my inmost being;
you knit me together in my mother’s womb.
I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
your works are wonderful,
I know that full well.

The cleaning and scrubbing can wait till tomorrow,

But children grow up, as I’ve learned to my sorrow.

So quiet down cobwebs; Dust go to sleep!

I’m rocking my baby and babies don’t keep.

A baby will make love stronger,

days shorter,

nights longer,

bankroll smaller,

home happier,

clothes shabbier,

the past forgotten,

and the future worth living for.
