Myrtle Beach Wedding and Family Photos

Every picture tells a story if you listen long enough, if you explore the details.

We met Kryst on our photography cruise. We were blessed to have him along as a male model to work with. Kryst will be graduating next year.  We were enthralled by his presence from the beginning and the more we learned about him during the cruise, the more we were impressed by him.

Everyone has a style of their own, whether they copy it from someone else or they just grow into their own skin. It was apparent that Kryst had his own style and his own ideas about things. He was a joy to be around. He was funny, he was opinionated (as are most teenagers) and he was nice and mannerly to the wait staff both on shore and on the ship.

You would never know the depth of what lies behind his rose colored glasses unless you stop for a moment to listen. Kryst has suffered loss that most his age have never experienced and I dare say, even our age have experienced. Last year, he lost his home to a violent tornado in Oklahoma. His family rose above and he rose with them. He rebuilt his life.

His strong religious convictions, his sense of purpose in this world and his resilient spirit were lessons to all of us who were blessed to hear his story, to capture these moments for him, to call him friend.
