In 1986 the family moved to Melbourne, Australia. There she had set up her first studio in the old garage on their property. Volunteering as an assistant for a local photographer had sparked her interest in working in a studio environment. There in Melbourne, she gave birth to her second daughter in 1986.

The first published photograph that had brought Anne some recognition was published in Auckland magazine in 1988; it was an image of a little girl standing in a tutu. This work is known as Gemme. At the time, that portrait style was new and unusual. After trying herself in wedding photography, Geddes decided to become a children portrait photographer and established a small new studio in Auckland.

Anne managed to win the world over with the help of simple camera and her creative approach. She created a fairy tale world full of warmth, love and kids. It is impossible not to be touched by the adorable innocent images of kids. Through her photographs Anne shows us that children are the real joy and happiness of this world. In her book “Down in the Garden” she said: “I am frequently asked why I photograph babies so often, and where my ideas come from. Little babies are indeed my inspiration, and I cannot imagine a photographic life without them playing a major part in it. Where this special love for babies comes from I cannot tell you, and I have spent much time searching for an answer myself. All I know is that they are all perfect little human beings in their own ways, and we should all take the time to cherish them, especially while they are very small.” She said that she hopes that through her work as a photographer, she has been able to pass on her appreciation of the beauty and charm of little children.

In one of her interview she said that children are her inspiration and joy, and this is why she believes her photographs come out to be so touching. Anne believes that the emotional context of the photograph is much more important than the technical capabilities of camera. She also credits simplicity as one of important components. It is a combination of simplicity and emotions that create unforgettable images. Anne says that there is nothing harder to do than to create something simple.

To me Anne Geddes is an example of an extraordinary photographer. Her pictures are amazing and bring so much joy into this world. Each photograph is unique in its own way. Each one of them tells a story. I can spend hours and hours just looking at them. It is amazing how Anne had become such an influential photographer through such a simple subject matter, which we experience every day of our lives: the miracle of life. She inspires me and forces me to see beauty in this world, in people and nature, which she had so beautifully combined in her work. She also inspires me as a woman to strive and achieve more in life.
