#44 Everyone in the studio is involved

Whenever Anne has newborns in the studio we have a lady who comes in to help. She helps with parking for the mothers and the fathers and anything extra that needs doing on those days. She is African American and has lived in Australia for around 15 years. You can see in the photo, her hair is quite amazing as it falls in little corkscrew type curls and is a very dark brown with blonde tips on the ends.

The first time Anne saw her hair, you could see her mind ticking over wondering how she could utilize it in the new book. Soon we will be able to give you more of an idea about the book, but we hope it's interesting understanding some of the background as we go along. Of course it did not take Anne long to come up with something, so yesterday Anne photographed her. Without giving too much away, the stylist placed various objects in her hair, all inspired by the element of nature that started Anne down this path in the first place earlier this year. Anne had a rehearsal last month to see if the idea would work and the following morning the lady said she was still picking things out of her hair and that her husband was wondering what on earth went on when she came to the studio.

It should be noted that straight after the shoot, the lady made a beeline for the hairdressing salon and had her hair cut. Anne had (jokingly) instructed her not to have her hair cut until she had photographed it. So she obeyed orders and couldn’t wait to have it all cut off the minute the shoot was over.
