More About the Author

One of the world's most respected photographers, Anne Geddes creates images that are iconic, award winning, internationally acclaimed, and beloved. Like no photographer before, her imagery singularly captures the beauty, purity, vulnerability, and preciousness of children, embodying her deeply held belief that each and every child must be protected, nurtured, and loved.

Born and raised in Queensland, Australia, Anne first professionally picked up a family camera in her mid-twenties, and self-taught, she began developing her signature style of simple structure and immediate visual impact. As a runaway New York Times and international bestselling author, Anne has subsequently changed the face of family and children's portraiture.

5.0 out of 5 stars Babies love looking at other Babies!, April 10, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: ABC (The Anne Geddes Collection) (Hardcover)

There's nothing babies love to do more than look at other babies. Especially babies dressed up to represent different letters of the alphabet. From the delightful Angels to the silly Ducks, The Queen, to the sleeping baby for ZZZZ. Geddes has taken her stunning photography, and turned it into a delightful way to teach your children the ABC's. Her whimsical babies leap out from the page in their unique costumes, and colorful displays. From babies to adult, it is a book that can be enjoyed and remembered.

My 10 month old picks this book every time we read! After a month of significant use, the pages are showing some wear, but Mom is the only one who seems to mind. I will be looking for others by Anne Geddes to purchase.
