At every turn, Honey Lake Plantation Resort & Spa took my breath away. Sprawling oaks, wild pine barrens, a glistening lake, knobby cypress, sun-dappled fence-lined roads — there wasn’t a thing to dislike about the place. Danny and I felt the same way about the wonderful couple. Amber and Daniel are getting married at Honey […]

Now that the holiday season is in full swing — and Melanie has shipped off her Christmas cards to her friends and family — I’m finally sharing the Nordstroms’ full family photo session from last month.

We wish people well, and tell them that we’re praying for them, when they get engaged, married, welcome a baby, graduate from school, buy a new house, and when they are sick, disheartened, or have lost a loved […]

They piled out of their cars and shuffled into Ames Park — the youngest boy kicking a soccer ball, the older sons’ hands stuffed in their pockets, slightly sheepish grins on everyone’s faces. Showing up somewhere to pose for a camera can bring out the shyness in even the most outgoing kids, especially when they […]

As a kid, “White Christmas” was one of my favorite movies. How favorite? I would watch it in May, again in September, and you’d better believe I watched in at least one more time when the Christmas season was in full swing. It was that kind of favorite. I could sing and dance all the musical […]
