Anne Geddes
Infant Infatuation
By Tara Swords
Geddes acknowledges that she also owes her success to Mother Nature, which, in an infant, provides a naturally beautiful image and certain developmental milestones which can help a photographer capture a particular effect.
"Newborn babies do a lot of sleepin," she says, admitting that her youngest subjects are often eager to sleep. "All of the sleeping babies are newborns. I love the idea of a sleeping newborn, particularly at 3 in the morning. They're gorgeous with their heads falling to the side. They've all got very full tummies and they're all in very comfortable positions."
When it comes to the delightfully vivid photos of attentive babies interacting with objects and each other, Geddes photographs 6-month-old babies who are just sitting up and discovering the world around them.
Geddes says the message she's conveying in her images is one of love and potential – a theme that carries over into the one piece of advice she offers new parents: "I would say just relax and love your babies. Give them everything you've got and tell them every day that you love them. For children to grow up with the absolute confidence that they're loved is the absolute most important thing to them."
