The Wade Family!

If I haven't said it before, I will say it now . . . . .we have a lot of family!!  My side is what I would consider big - I have 5 siblings, some of them have kids, but not a lot of kids, and I have a few Aunts and Uncles but not alot!  Mike on the other hand, I wouldn't exactly say his family is big, I'd say it's actually what you would consider huge!!  The reason for mentioning that is that if you see a lot of posts about pictures for family you will understand why!!  I'm just thankful to have so many people to practice with!   

Joe is one of Mike's cousins on Mike's mom's side of the family!  I recently was given the opportunity to get together with Joe, Jamie, and their kids to take some pictures for them!  

We had originally talked about traveling up to the Azaela Path Arboretum & Botanical Gardens  to take their pictures but we ultimately decided on meeting at the Southwestern Indiana Master Gardener Associations Garden Plat on the Lloyd Expressway.  

I usually like to drive by a day or so before to check out where I'll be taking pictures, just to see how everything looks!  Given the last minute change in location I didn't have a lot of time at the location prior to our shoot.  I had driven by once about an hour before our shoot and was totally disappointed, it didn't look from my car that anything was in bloom . . . .but once I returned and actually got out and walked around, I found it to be beautiful and pretty much in full bloom!  

I must admit, I was a tad bit disappointed that we didn't travel to the Azaela Path as I'd never been there and have been wanting to go, but a trip to the Master Gardener's Plat is always a good trip too!  In fact, I used the spot again last week for some Senior Pictures that I took - my first "official" senior picture photo shoot!  Be keeping an eye out for those photos in the next few days!  If you've never been to the Master Gardner's plat, you really should check it out!!  There are so many spots to take pictures!  

So, here are a few of Joe, Jamie, Ethan & Emma's photos!  You can see more by following this link to the Joe, Jamie, Ethan & Emma  album on the Capturing Your Precious Moments Facebook Page!
