Popular Portrait Photographer Specializes In Baby Photos
Even the grumpy can’t resist photographs by Anne Geddes.
The Australian native has a special knack for shooting babies. She teases heartwarming smiles and giggles out of them, placing the young ones in fun and whimsical settings. Take this happy baby, set among lush lily pads.
Anne’s popular style of portraiture has spawned countless imitators, but devoted Geddes fans can usually spot her angelic shots. They are lighthearted and joyful, but also thoughtfully composed and magically conceived. Everyone’s wall of photos, it seems, can squeeze in a Geddes print.
Someone with Anne’s huge body of work, which she began in the early 80’s when digital cameras weren’t the norm, would benefit from photos cataloged in a computer database. Picture scanning services such as ours cater to both professionals and amateurs. Even if your images have not earned fame and fortune, we bet they are just as precious to you and your family.
Anne’s ability to bring out a baby’s natural sweetness in photos, in color and in black and white, has earned her worldwide acclaim. The middle child in a family of five girls, Anne grew up on a huge cattle farm in Queensland, Australia. Her interest in photography developed as a hobby, and her favorite magazines growing up included Life and National Geographic.
It was in Hong Kong, where Geddes married her husband, Kel, that she began shooting portraits for a living. After the couple moved back to Australia, Anne gave birth to her first child. A homemade family holiday card with a photo, styled and shot by Anne, led to more opportunities in professional photography.
Now a resident of New Zealand, Anne has put her signature stamp on greeting cards, calendars, books and even a line of baby’s clothing and accessories. Her photographic work over the decades is something that should be preserved for her personal archives and for study by visual arts enthusiasts. Luckily for Anne and other photographers, picture scanning services can cater to their specific needs.
