From Lynda Bannister:

Constance Bannister became a household name after World War II, gaining much fame for her “Bannister Babies” and other notable accomplishments, which include photographing for the Chicago Tribune; Woman’s Day; and New York City- Ballet, Theater District, and Opera.

Since my mother’s passing in 2005, I have brought the Bannister photographs to new successes, dividing the collection into categories. Since signing contracts with GETTYIMAGES.com, the “Bannister Babies” and her photographs have been distributed worldwide and are a top selling stock collection.
