Iedereen herinnert zich ongetwijfeld de populaire foto’s van baby’s in bloempotten, blaadjes sla en dierenpakjes. In de jaren ’90 was het werk van fotografe Anne Geddes hot maar hoe zien de baby’s in kwestie er vandaag uit?

In de jaren ’90 hielden we van chokers, Tamagotchi’s, de Spice Girls, deze snoep en de babyfoto’s van Anne Geddes. Het werk van de Australische fotografe met baby’s in bloempotten, schattige dierenpakjes en peulvruchten sierden mappen, agenda’s, slaapkamermuren en populaire koffietafelboeken. Maar hoe verging het de aardbeibaby, vlinderboy en harige duif?

In keeping with my “last of the summer days” series … a flower a day until we hand the beautiful warm weather over to everyone Down Under … BABY, LOOK AT YOU NOW! Hmmm – look what little water lilies grow in to! I so vividly remember tiny 6 month old Taylor, who was happy to sit in my lily pond way back in 1995 … she even thought the leaves were quite tasty! And look at Taylor today – with a Bachelor of Communications majoring in Public Relations and Television to her name. Ok I know I’m probably sounding like a broken record, but my babies are growing up way too fast! From Taylor … “It’s so surreal to think that my photograph was on the tv show ‘Friends’ so many years ago and that the image was so popular around the world! It’s an incredible story to tell people. Thanks so much for picking me to be the water lily baby 21 years ago!” Every week in this ongoing series, I’ll be posting one of my early images, with news of what the babies are doing today. So if you were one of those babies and you’d like to take part, I’d love to hear from you at babylookatyounow@gmail.com. Send a recent photo of yourself and tell me a little about what you’re up to today (by the way there were some other babies at the shoot that day and you’ll see them in future posts) XOAnne #protectnurturelove #annegeddesbaby #babies #flowers #babylookatyounow
