What a cutie pie!.....Lilla had so much fun dancing around in this tutu. She was a little shy at first, but after everyone in the studio started dancing, she caught on really quickly and had no problem warming up.

She was very much a momma's girl as you can see from this photo. They had a blast just playing on the floor together.
Come back anytime Lilla, we are all ready to dance.

The photo below has always been a special favorite. Baby Nora has been proudly displayed in our front window for many years. We love to hear everyone's sweet comments. It's crazy how the years fly by. Now Nora is 3 years old and still loves to be in daddy's arms.

I cannot tell you how much fun we had during this photo shoot. Their mother said" I want something new and fun". Dede being the spontaneous photographer that she is, said "No problem". So we grabbed the couch, and headed out on Bardstown road.

Mathew and Natalie were so excited about Dede taking their photos. They had the best time laughing and giggling. They even encouraged each other to see who could act the craziest.

As you can see from the photos, they had a great time, and we were able to get some beautiful and amazing photographs.

Thanks guys, we had a blast too.

Happy Thanksgiving!

We have so much to be thankful for this season, but are especially thankful for all of the wonderful children we get to meet and photograph everyday.
Thanks to the wind storm last year, we have been photographing a ton of newborn babies. Dede loves to hold and feed each and everyone of them when she gets the chance.

The Cline sisters really loved their new little brother. In the photograph above you can really see how much. They were such big helpers, and even sat really still with their sleeping brother for this timeless photograph.

Dede Holman photography would like to say "Thank You" for making 2009 a very special year.

What a cutie! Kelly K from WDJX Morning show came in with her super sweet
husband to photograph their newborn son Jacob. He was wide awake and ready for his first photo session with Dede.

We really had fun photographing Jacob, and even got daddy to to take off his shirt and show his muscles.
Everything was going great until Kelly got a good lesson in holding a naked baby when Jacob peed all over her. Daddy of course, got a good laugh. After that, Jacob allowed us to photograph him in many positions, but would not go to sleep until he was laying on top of mommy.
We would like to thank Kelly K and her husband for allowing us the opportunity for photograph their new family.
Please give us a call at (502)451-1990, Dede Holman Photography, to schedule your session.

Twins, Twins Everywhere!!

2009-09-17T16:12:00.010-04:00

Can you believe we had 2 sets of twins on one day.

Boy, O Boy it seems like we are photographing more and more multiples these days.

The first set were almost four years old, Lilly and Kenna.

They were super cute with loads of energy and danced all over the place.

After we had a whirlwind time with the big girls, we then welcomed the newborns, Isabella and Olivia.

They cuddled together wearing their pink feather hats.

The only way we could get Olivia to sleep was to nest her next to her sister. (Who slept perfectly the whole time).

Everyone was safe from the girls mother nature, except for grandpa, who got two explosions at once with lots of newborn baby poo.

No one got hurt and everyone had a great time.

Dede is now booking for fall, and Christmas photos. Give us call at (502) 451-1990.

I see London. I see France......

Fancy, monogrammed bloomers are great. But let's face it, they aren't necessarily practical on an everyday play basis. What to do? We love Monkey Bar Buddies - fun shorts (and leggings) created to give little girls freedom in skirts and dresses. Created in a great array of color choices to accent any outfit, Monkey Bar Buddies are comfy and everyday practical. Check them out at: http://www.monkeybarbuddies.com/index.cfm

On hot summer nights, my daughter likes to sleep in her Monkey Bar Buddies shorts and a soft cotton cami. Great under casual dresses and school uniforms, too!

Catherine's Pick of the Week

2009-07-17T15:07:00.007-04:00

As Creative Director here at Dede Holman Photography, I am always on the lookout for great children's clothes. To look great in (and out) of a photograph, clothes must be superior in quality and highlight, but not overshadow, the personality of the little ones wearing them.

As luck would have it, a Dede Holman Photography client recently started an online children's boutique called SQUEEZE HUGS that offers fantastic infant and children's clothes, accessories, and furnishings. My own children were recently in the studio for a shoot and Dede captured these images of them in their Squeeze Hugs gear. Peter is wearing an Appaman shirt and Sarah-Frances is sporting her ready-for-fall Mim Pi knee socks.

Okay, I know they're mine, but seriously - super cute - right?

Check out all the great gear at http://www.squeezehugs.com/ - and, by the way, they are having a HUGE sale!!! Happy shopping!

Soak up the SUN!!!

2009-07-13T13:28:00.003-04:00

Now that the rain boots are safely stored in the closet, let's get outside and enjoy the sunshine!!! My latest outdoor shoot was at WhiteHall - how cute is this little one-year-old? Call 502-451-1990 to book your outdoor session today. Check it off your "to do" list before school starts.

How lucky am I to have this job? Check out the adorable twins and beautiful family I recently got to shoot.

Cousins!!!

2009-07-01T09:16:00.007-04:00

My sister, Sarah, and her family were in Louisville a couple of weeks ago and we just couldn't resist getting our kiddos together for a photo shoot at the studio. Aren't my neices precious?

I love the photo of all the cousins together....litterally the ONLY minute they all sat still the entire visit!!!

Less than THREE weeks after giving birth, Dede is back at it. She will be returning to the studio on Tuesday, May 19th. Is she crazy? Is she addicted to photography? Is she Superwoman? Yes. Yes. And, Yes.

If anyone realizes the importance of newborn photos, it is Dede Holman. She had Wyatt in the studio for his first session at the ripe old age of 6 days!!! The studio will soon be in full swing. Call 502-451-1990 to book today before your summer schedule gets crazy.

WYATT ANDREW HOLMAN

2009-03-18T14:56:00.003-04:00

My due date of May 1st is rapidly approaching. I can’t decide if it is coming too soon or not soon enough!!

Though I won’t be officially taking “maternity leave,” I will be off for several weeks after the baby is born. Please keep these dates in mind when booking future appointments. As you know, these dates may change, as babies tend to keep their own schedules. Keep checking the BLOG for updates.

Life's a Beach!!

2008-07-09T14:16:00.002-04:00

We just returned from a family vacation to Hilton Head Island. We had a fantastic time! Check out some of these fun and candid images I got of Ethan and Hattie on the beach.

Hiking with the Holmans

2008-07-09T14:02:00.003-04:00

At the end of June, on our way to the beach, we camped and hiked in the Great Smoky Mountains. Ethan had requested a "real" camping trip and was clearly more excited than Hattie, who, in this picture, is litterally yelling, "NO PICTURES!" It was a fun couple of days and a great way to start our family vacation.

Sarah ROCKS!!!

2008-06-27T11:13:00.004-04:00

MEET SARAH: Cellist, Track Star and Photo Diva Extraordinaire!! The many sides of Sarah’s fun personality really enlivened my creativity. Sarah brought her prom dress and her track cleats, so we decided to put the two together and we got some awesome shots. Check out the shot on the light table where I convinced her to jump – brave girl! Although we were all having an amazing time, we wrapped up the indoor shoot and headed to the Mellwood Arts Center to get some outdoor images. The Arts Center is very eclectic - just like Sarah. It was fun to see how the personality of the location and the personality of the subject matched so well. Willing to be daring one more time, Sarah jumped on some nearby train tracks and allowed me to capture some truly unique images. These are only a few highlights from Sarah’s shoot.

2008-04-22T13:58:00.006-04:00

I have just returned home from Sanibel Island, FL where I took a week long vacation with my side of the family, The Millers.

Relaxation was not obtained, especially with a total of four children along, but it was great fun spending quality time with the family. Here are some photos from an evening at the beach.
