The photographer who inspired thousands of new parents to dress their newborns up as flowers or teddies for makeshift photoshoots has released rarely seen images in a new book.
Anne Geddes - often dubbed the Annie Leibovitz of baby photography - has been snapping iconic images of newborns for nearlyfour decades, selling 18 million books around the globe and seeing her work appear on greetings cards for every occasion.

From a grinning baby dressed as a bee in a flower to a tiny newborn dozing as a koala in a tree, the Australian-born snapper's knack for capturing the vulnerability - and adorableness - of babies is captured in the new retrospective of her career.
A new book documents some of her earliest outings with a camera and sees her subject matters often dressed in the altogether in simple but powerful black and white shots.
