Emily 18 mon. photos

On Thursday February 17th, Jeremy, Emily and I headed to Dede Holman's photography studio on Bardstown Rd. to shoot Emily's 18 mon. photos. I was really looking forward to working with her because I had admired her children and baby photography for awhile. You can see some of her work at dedeholmanphotography.com. Emily can be very challenging to photograph now. She doesn't sit still or smile on cue to the camera. She can be shy and hesitant in a new situation and want us to hold her. I was so pleased to see how Dede and her assistant Grayden worked with Emily. Many times she was on the verge of a complete melt down, but they would somehow get her to laugh with their funny props, bubbles, or silly noises. I was so happy to see my sweet girl smiling at the camera! The time flew by! We were able to capture Emily in one of her dressy, girly dresses as well as a fun barefooted photo in a blue tutu and white tank. The blue color was so pretty with her blue eyes and best of all, I didn't even have to buy another outfit. Dede had oodles of tutus and hair accessories to pick from. Jeremy and I weren't really planning on having our photos taken with Emily, but Dede offered and we were like, "Why not? Maybe we'll get a good one."

Here is a link to some of the photos Dede posted to her facebook page. Can't wait to see the rest of them!
