Spring Maternity Session in Springfield, Missouri - The LaRue Family

It was the perfect day at Nathanael Green Park for The LaRue Family. Baby Liam will be here in just a few short weeks and I’m so honored that Emily and Dylan asked me to document this special time preparing for their new baby, but also savoring the time left as a family of three.

We originally had to re-schedule the maternity session due to bad weather. I’m sure that can sometimes be discouraging news when you’ve set aside time for the whole family to come and take pictures. I will say though, that it was totally worth the wait because the weather was absolutely fabulous on this day in Springfield.

This is the first time for The LaRue Family to have family pictures taken, so it was such an exciting time not only to get to know them, but to be able to give them family pictures that will surely bring joy for years to come.

Everything about this park makes me happy. From the lilac bush behind the family, to the fountain, to the grassy areas, it was all just perfect for little Wesson to run around and play during the session. He was so well-behaved and sweet, even holding his mama’s hat while she got more pictures taken. He just talked to me like we were old friends and it doesn’t hurt that he has the prettiest little eyes.

Children have a way of breaking down the walls of adults and softening us around our rough edges. They are always forgiving and kind-something we could use a lot more of in this world. Emily and Dylan are doing such a good job raising Wesson and I just know that they will do the same with Baby Liam.

I cannot wait to meet the new addition to The LaRue Family and share more moments with them in the fall as a family of four.

Congrats Emily and Dylan!
