Anne Geddes' sense of beauty and elegance in her subject matter provides endless inspiration. We all love to see pictures of precious babies, but Geddes takes her passion of babies to a whole new level. She takes her passionate subject matter and infuses it with a variety of props to turn these adorable babies into something new; like a butterfly, fairy, or bumblebee. It's almost like she is capturing a moment of stillness before the beginning of growth. There is a sense of innocence in each image that you can see unfolding. What inspires me is Geddes' visible excitement and joy over babies. She shows me that you don’t have to photograph everything you see, but to find a subject matter that brings joy to your heart and explore the endless possibilities with that element.
Anne decided to keep exploring different inspirations, this exploration brought about what is known today as " Cabbage kids." These images were some of the most popular images found around the world. She was so passionate about expanding her calendar business, and she was unable to find a publisher, so she sold each calendar door to door. By doing this she earned more than $20,000 for child abuse prevention charitable organization. Her character is defined as selfless, persistent and passionate, in which I find to be quite admirable.
Not only is Anne a well known famous photographer, but she is also an author, clothing designer, successful businesswoman, mother and wife. I personally have a love and passion for children and art, as well as an appreciation for the beauty that exists in all children that Geddes' captures in all her work. She inspires me to reach for unreachable goals, because there is endless possibilities when you have passion in your life.
