Thanks for the wonderful feedback re our suggestion of being part of the preview team.

We are now starting a list, and for those that indicated that they would like to be a part, we are working on how we can contact you or include you, so be patient.

If there are any more, who did not respond, but would like to submit your name then please do.

It may not be possible to include everyone who answers, but we will try and let you know, so don’t be disappointed if you are not part of this book: we have another book that Anne is shooting and we will be doing this again.

So rally the friends, we need some more names; naturally wait till we contact you, we will need a physical address. The video part is not essential, but it will be fun if you can.

The advice can only come from us, so beware of anyone trying to ask for your address that is not us, always check.

More soon, spread the word of 10.10.10

There may be some to whom this date will be special, a new birth, a birthday, someone may even have a son or daughter who is 10 on this day, a 10th wedding anniversary?

Or it can be just special because Anne’s new book is available!!!:):)

Thank you for all of your continuing kind comments regarding your appreciation of Anne and her images.

The new book is complete, and as we have said, printing is going to be in June. After that we will be able to nominate the 100 Facebook Fans who will be our preview team. We will nominate those, and send the books, closer to the launch date of 10.10.10.

What we are thinking is, that you may also send a short video of yourself talking about the book, no more than 30 seconds, which we can then organize so others can see you as well??

Good idea? (Thumbs?)

One more item. We know you love Anne for her images, but be careful anyone trying to replicate her images at home. Anne works in her studio with a crew that has worked with her for many, many years.

Each image is carefully created, and planning and shooting the image is very controlled. The safety of the baby is naturally paramount.

Also there are some photographers who try to copy Anne’s work.

Be very careful, as Anne does not endorse other photographers who she does not know or trust.

Hello to the Fans in Italy.

We have reached a compromise that we hope you like in Italian.

After discussion with our Italian co-publisher we have decided on a title of "Bambini...una nuova vita". The word Bambini will be large below Anne’s name so you will know what to ask for.

We also noticed that Tommy on Facebook was asking about a calendar. The new editions will be available from around August in some stores globally.

You could ask your local shop as to when they are coming in, Anne has three new titles.

The calendars always come out ahead of the book, and you will be able to have an idea of the new images in the book even though there is, as usual, only 12 images in the calendar.

It's exciting for all of us working with Anne that the new images, the new calendars and the new book is almost here.

Anne is attending the printing in June, to personally supervise the printing, as she is always keen to see that the quality of the book is what you would all expect. The best!

Don't forget we will be asking some of Anne's Facebook Fans to preview the book as well. You could be one of the lucky ones!

We have had quite a few queries from Russia regarding purchasing Beginnings in the Russian language.

Russia is one of the few countries that we do not have a book publisher, if any Fans living in Russia have any book publishing contacts could you let us know.

We also have two names for the Italian edition, which I will ask our Italian Fans to have an opinion on?

If you relate to our descriptions about Anne’s thinking and creativity using aspects of Nature, babies and pregnant women, cast your eyes over these two titles and give me thumbs up on your choice.

If you do not live in Italy, yet speak Italian fluently, then you can help as well.

The two titles are :-

#1 'Per Sempre Bambini'.

#2 'Nuova Vita'.

As mentioned in our previous blogs, the title of Anne’s new book Beginnings often takes on a new title in different languages.

The look and content, especially the cover, is controlled by Anne so you will know what to look for where ever you are.

You can confirm the cover image by clicking here.

So the different languages so far:-

In German:- Vom Zauber des Lebens

In Portuguese:- Origens

More titles soon, remember in the United States, Australia, the United Kingdom, New Zealand and Canada it will be Beginnings.

Naturally for our French speaking Canadians there will also be a French edition.

Start asking your book seller regarding when they are getting the book ,that way we will be able to make sure there is enough printed so we do not run.

Exciting isn’t it???

Remember we will have some other titles for you this week regarding Anne’s new book with the English title of 'Beginnings' so you know what to ask for at your book shop or online. 10.10.10 is getting closer.

Nice note from Glenna asking if it is OK to use Anne’s images in a presentation. This is generally ok as long as it is never for commercial use, but it is always correct to ask as Anne holds the copyright of all of her images, so thanks for that Glenna.

We have a question for the Fans.

Beginnings contains some images of Anne photographing elements of Nature, namely some nests, eggs, buds and bulbs as well as her baby photographs naturally, and also women who are pregnant. We think they are wonderful They are really very special photographs as you can imagine with Anne’s eye!

The question is, how many of Anne’s Fans are interested not only in the babies but also elements of Nature?

We think that as Anne sees that all of these elements, as she says in her videos, relate to the start of life, that you will all also be interested?

Thumbs up?

We have some news for both Germany and Italy regarding Anne’s new book Beginnings.

As you are all aware each language has different nuances regarding translations and that is why we are sub-titling Anne’s videos.

This is also the reason that our co-publishers in various countries give the book a different title than the English title we have selected, in this case Beginnings.

Next week, we will tell you the titles selected in Germany and Italy so you will know what to ask of your book-seller.

We have talked about the new calendars in previous blogs, and we have mentioned there will be three titles.

One contains Anne’s baby images, the other two, elements of Nature that Anne has photographed for the new book. They are lovely and an exciting addition to the imagery of Anne.

Special news!

As a bonus this year, we have completed a documentary of Anne and the making of the book. It’s really, really good !

It will answer the many questions that you have about how Anne creates her photographs and has a host of behind the scenes footage.

We will do our best to let you know who is going to play this documentary in your particular country.

The book is due to be printed in June so we will soon have copies to send out to our special preview panel from the Facebook Fans.

Everyone has a chance of being one of that special hundred.

Stay in touch, tell your friends and thank you for your support of Anne and what she is doing.
