Long time ago I read this but still remember every bit of it! I was 12 years old when I got this for Christmas. It's amazing to see how her pictures came to life and how she learned and took all of her pictures!
I loved Anne Geddes photos when I was a young teenager. It was fun to read this book and see some of the images that had on my walls when I was 13. I also really enjoyed hearing her life story and how she became successful doing something she loved. I have a new appreciation for her work now and I especially loved her images of pregnancy. And what's not to love about chubby babies in flowers?
I love this book. It has the story of how Anne Geddes got started, and it also includes some insight and information on HOW she does her shoots. The photography is just awesome, and the creativity it inspires is great too!
It makes me want to get out my hot glue gun and start making flower hats for the babies!
Very interesting and informative, and the photos were gorgeous. The size of the book (coffee table style) made it difficult to read but it was worth the read anyway.
