Anne Geddes was born on September 15th 1956 in Australia.
She is a clothing designer, business woman, and a well-known photographer and
now lives and works in New Zealand. She is known for her stylized depictions of
babies and motherhood. Most of her photos show babies or young children dressed
as fairies, small animals, or flowers. Anne Geddes became a photographer at age
25. She had always had a love for babies, but the schools she went to didn't
offer photography classes. The reason she chose babies as her subject was
because of her love for them. {"I had seen the way children and babies
were generally being photographed. It just didn't seem realistic to me that
people took their children along to photographic studios all dressed in their
Sunday best, photographs that didn't really show the personality of the child.
“Geddes believes that "emotional content is an image's most important
element" and that people are drawn to her work because of its simplicity
and personality. Prefers the black-and-white scheme because she feels that
colour distracts from the image and the natural beauty of
life.}http://webneel.com/famous-photographers 
Anne Geddes photographs of babies’ shows her love for the
tiny bundles of joy and belief that all babies should be nurtured, loved, and
protected. Her amazing work has been featured in calendars, greeting cards, on
stationary, and on photo albums. Geddes' work is very loved and respected
around the world including her photography, her books like (down in the garden,
pure, cherished thoughts with love, and many others.) and her clothing line
When Anne first started doing photography she was 25 years
old living in Hong Kong with her husband she started by just taking pictures of
families in their everyday lives, but quickly found that it did not allow her
to have her own style and then after a few years something clicked when Anne
saw an ad for a studio photographer in Melbourne.. “A pin dropped and I
thought, that’s what I want to do. I want to dictate the environment and
control the lighting.” Geddes volunteered to be the photographer’s unpaid
assistant. “The moment I first walked into a photographic studio everything
fell into place.” 
This is the amazing thing about Anne Geddes. Those posed
portraits in front of khaki-colored backdrops which I imagine most photographers
would find dull and monotonous ― if not soul-sucking ― genuinely galvanize
Geddes. Her chosen profession is more than just a gimmick or a way to pay the
bills: It’s a lifelong passion. A dream come true. This came from this link -
