A few weeks back we had a lovely pregnant lady from Peru in the studio who had her tummy photographed by Anne. (there certainly will be a host of countries featured in Anne’s next book). At the time she was pregnant with twins and yesterday the twins visited the studio. They are absolutely gorgeous, two little boys. The parents arrived with the babies in the most...
Learn MoreWe have just completed a new video with Anne talking about the new “pure” clothing range. Today the final editing is taking place and very soon we will be able to share this with everyone to see! It’s very exciting and we be making an announcement very soon as to when it will be available.
Learn MoreBy coincidence, two of the mothers who visited the studio this morning went to high school together, but had no idea that they were both going to be at Anne’s studio, let alone on the same day. One mother commented that she had checked her high school friend’s Facebook page that morning, and noted that she had to be somewhere by 9.30 and didn’t know how she would...
Learn MoreAs well as having five newborns in the studio this morning, it was one of Anne’s photographic assistants birthday. Anne’s studio manager, who is also one of Anne’s daughters, is very keen on cupcakes, so she ordered a box for us all to share with the birthday girl. There were quite a few in the box, so we (very kindly!) shared them with the parents as well. Above...
Learn MoreA few weeks ago Anne photographed a Cuban grandmother. (mentioned in a previous blog, titled:- A photo of the grandmother) She is going back to Cuba in ten days so Anne thought it might be nice to have her into the studio to present her with a signed print before she leaves Australia. The whole family accompanied her including her beautiful grandson, (mentioned in other...

Anne described in her latest coffee table book, her autobiography, “A Labor of Love“, her reasons for her photography of pregnant women. From Anne:- “Every woman will always remember precisely when she first discovered...
Learn MoreAnother pregnant lady came into the studio today to be photographed. Her mother is Chinese and her father from India. This will be her first baby and she was very calm and relaxed about it all. The photo was really lovely! We certainly have a multi-cultural mix of pregnant women, as on the same day, Anne also photographed an African-English lady. This will be her third...
Learn MoreThe 1st samples of the new pure clothing range (mentioned in previous blog, titled Anne’s new clothing range)) have arrived direct from New Zealand. Anne personally photographed the clothing, firstly on its own, hanging from lovely silk twigs and leaves and then dressed some lovely newborns in the range; needless to say they, and the clothing, looked absolutely...
Learn MoreA baby who came into the studio today was just eight days old. (Anne is very comfortable working with the new-borns as you could well imagine; the studio has been purposefully designed for both the baby and the mothers comfort, and the staff who handle the babies, as well as Anne, have been part of Anne’s team for many years. We also have a trained nurse who is on hand...
Learn MoreIt’s nice to see that Anne’s ‘You are a Marvel’ video that you can see beside this blog has had over 160,000 views. It’s available in eight languages and it is rewarding to see how well it has been received on You Tube.
Learn MoreAs we have mentioned before, we see some very interesting people coming to the studio. One grandmother who accompanied her daughter and granddaughter today was dressed in the most beautiful hot pink beaded sari. She is a doctor, as is her husband, and they run a large medical clinic in Mumbai in India. (The city proper of Mumbai is the second most populous city in the...
Learn MoreThere were four newborn babies in the studio this morning. As always, they were all absolutely beautiful (and very well behaved as always). One of the fathers, who came in with his baby, told us that he is an anaesthetist in the intensive care unit at one of the major childrens’ hospitals in Sydney working with babies born between 1 and 2 pounds. (approx point five to...
Learn MoreThe grandmother who came from Cuba (mentioned in one of our earlier blogs) came into the studio to be photographed by Anne. She was very excited by it all. Her daughter-in-law and her little grandson accompanied her. It was so lovely to see her beautiful grandson again, the team all spent far too much time playing with him and had to stop to allow Anne to take the...
Learn MoreOne of Anne’s stylists, who we use when we are photographing pregnant women, is actually having a baby herself. So Anne invited her to come in to have her photograph taken for the book. (This is really team involvement!) She brought her partner in with her, because he is interested in photography himself, and he was fascinated watching Anne at work. Also this is their...
Learn MoreRecently, an African Cultural Day was held in a suburb just West of Sydney. Anne, who has been looking for babies of other nationalities for her new book was invited to attend, and so a few of the team went along as well. There were many colorful stalls showcasing African craftworks and products and some delicious smelling African food. Many of the stall holders were...
Learn MoreAnother pregnant lady came into the studio today to be photographed. Her mother is Chinese and her father is Indian, which makes for a very interesting mix as her skin colour is that of a strong milk coffee. This will be her first baby and she is naturally very excited. Anne photographed her in two different ways. The new book will have a number of different images of...
Learn MoreWe had the cutest little fellow into the studio today. He is six months old and has just learnt to sit on his own. In fact he was the son of the very same man who was spoken to in the menswear shop by one of Anne’s assistants! (see earlier blog) Accompanying him was his mother and his grandmother who is visiting from Cuba. He has the most beautiful coffee coloured...
