Career

With the release of many books, greeting cards and calendars, Anne felt that it was time she shared her personal story. Her autobiography “A Labor of Love” was released in 2007. Published in 8 countries, “A Labor of Love” also included family snapshots, behind the scenes anecdotes and a select portfolio of never-before-published images.

Also in 1997, Anne received an Honorary Fellowship with the New Zealand Institute of Professional Photographers (NZIPP) in recognition of her unique style of photography and her global success. At the time accumulating the most merits ever granted to an individual photographer within the NZIPP, Anne was the first woman to earn a Fellowship from the Institute through its awards system. Today she is Patron of that same Institute.

In 1997, Anne was awarded Lifetime Membership of the Professional Photographers of America (PPA) and presented the keynote address at the PPA convention in Las Vegas that year.

Published in 1996, “Down in the Garden” changed the face of children’s photography globally and launched Anne’s international career as a bestselling author. It was a New York Times Best Seller, rising to #3 and remaining on the list for three months; returning again to the list the following year.

In 1993, inspired by reading bedtime stories to their young daughters, Anne began to envision a fairy tale told through photography, leading to the creation of her first coffee table book “Down in the Garden”.

The Geddes Philanthropic Trust was created to raise money for the prevention of child abuse and neglect. Since its inception, the Trust has designated funds from a range of Anne Geddes products totaling more than US$5.7 million, which has aided programs around the world. The upcoming 2018 calendar marks the 27th continuous edition.
