Anne Geddes

You’ve seen Anne Geddes’s photographs of angelic babies dressed up as sunflowers, or as water lilies seeming to float on a pond. Then there are the tiny babies sleeping, cradled safely in giant hands. Or row after row of pots, each with a baby nestled in it. These images and hundreds others like them have spawned not only an industry but also a cult following. Now you can find out how Geddes came to be one of the most celebrated children’s photographers ever when you pick up her newly released autobiography, A Labor of Love; she’s signing copies today. Each of Geddes’s images is guaranteed to make us go “Awwww!” We’re guessing that the stories behind each image will, too. 1 p.m. Brazos Bookstore, 2421 Bissonnet.
