Hey there!
My name is Stephanie and I’m the newest intern at Krista Photography. I’ve only been here a few weeks, but so far the photographic world is looking pretty cool! A lot of troubleshooting and questioning our relationship with our precious technology, but yes, so far so good! But let me just tell you a little bit more about myself before we go on.
Hey guys! I’m Pamela – intern extraordinaire! I’m going to be blogging here and there about all the stuff I’m learning while working here. So, we thought it’d be good for me to introduce myself!
Lets start this blog post off with an artsy polaroid of me pondering life after college…
I started working for the fabulous Krista Photography back in July, where I was fetching Starbucks goodies, grabbing whatever Harriett needed at PetCo, helping to organize all the glorious photographs from Krista’s many many years of work and assisting at weddings as much as possible! You’ve probably seen me holding reflectors, snapping some shots of Krista & CoCo at work and helping to make the lighting perfect! If you were at 2014 Fall Mini Sessions, 2014 Forever Families or got married last year, we’ve probably already met!
Here is one of me & CoCo amongst some super cool disco lighting at a wedding!
And see, I told you that I would help to make your gorgeous gowns look amazing!
Let’s see, well I graduated from the Rochester Institute of Technology back in 2012 with a Biomedical Photography degree under my belt.
Yes, CoCo & I did graduate from the same college – Go Tigers!
Biomedical Photography? What is that & why are you working for Wedding Photographers? Well, since you asked – my program basically combined science & art. I took classes like Microscopy (photographing tiny things under a microscope), Medical Terminology, Surgical Photography (yes, I photographed surgeries in the OR), B&W Film Processing and Digital Media (learning how to combine photography, video & graphic design). I even had my co-op at the Massachusetts State Police in the Crime Scene Special Services Unit in Sudbury. Yes, it was like CSI, and yes, it was super cool! After graduating college though, I decided that I wanted to get more in touch with my artsy side. And I thought, hey! wedding photography would be a good place to start! And now here I am :)
Here are some of my favorite images from college. They show my scientific side & my artsy side!
These few are from a project I did called “Four Years of Faces”, in which I decided to photograph each and every person I had met in my four years at college. Needless to say, there were a lot of faces to photograph!
Here are some scientific images! Now you can see what the inside of a Rabbit’s Small Intestine looks like (left), and now you also know what rust looks like under a microscope (right)!
Here are some other sciency images! Just some chemicals, that have been crystalized, and then placed under a special filter to make their bright colors really pop!
And lastly, here are just some of my favorite portraits of some of my closest friends!
Some other random non-photo facts about me:
Hey! Maybe you’ll see me at your wedding this year! I’ll be the one holding all the camera equipment, holding your bouquet in between shots, fetching Krista & CoCo some H2O & all around helping to capture your glorious wedding images throughout the day!
Also now that you know who I am, when you see me blogging more on here, you know that the words are coming from that girl in that artsy polaroid.
xoxo, Pamela
True Confession: I’ve never been a highly self-motivated person. I’ve always been most successful working in a team environment. From competing as a Synchronized Swimmer as a kid, and needing those other girls staring me down to get me to jump in the pool. To working in my first photography job managing a big studio full of people. To now as I’m building my own little team here at Krista Photography – I need other people around to help me do my best! I really believe that we can all achieve more if we work together. My ultimate goal for Krista Photography is that we’d have a group of awesome people working in their strengths and passions to create powerful photographs that capture the truth and beauty of life.
Sounds great, right?!
Well, we just need a couple more people to join our team to get us a little closer to that lofty goal of mine!

When I started out in photography almost 12 years ago, my first job was assisting at a big wedding studio in Chicago. I remember the very first task they gave me… shovel the sidewalk :) I started at the very bottom of the food chain. As months went by, I became the studio manager, and then began shooting as an Associate photographer for the company. A few years later, I moved out on my own and started at the bottom again in a new town. I have worked hard over the years since I moved to Boston to create a business that I love, and to develop a TEAM that I love. It’s no fun working alone, and I think everyone benefits from being part of a team – learning to work together, encouraging and challenging each other, and everyone focusing on their strengths and doing their part to make the sum so much greater than the parts!
Over the years, I’ve tried to pay that first opportunity forward. I’ve brought on interns almost every year, and it’s been great! I get some much-needed help, and they have hopefully had the chance to learn things they couldn’t have learned in school. A few years ago, CoCo came along as an intern, and now she’s working as an Associate Photographer, as well as designing albums, editing photos, and all sorts of other great stuff! Amy came onto the team last year, and has been handling all of our Vendor Relations, and blogging, and lots of the marketing piece. I am loving this little team we’ve built! But, we’re looking at some big, exciting changes ahead (announcements coming soon!) and have a lot of projects on our plates, so we’re hoping to find a new intern to add to the team!! If you’re interested, check out the details below to see if you’d be a good fit!!

When I started out in photography almost 10 years ago, my first job was assisting at a big wedding studio in Chicago. I remember the very first task they gave me… shovel the sidewalk :) I started at the very bottom of the food chain. As months went by, I became the studio manager, and then began shooting as an Associate photographer for the company. A few years later, I moved out on my own and started at the bottom again in a new town, with a new studio. I have worked hard over the past 5 years to create a business that I love and that actually supports me. I don’t ever forget those first few months though, and the opportunity I was given to learn from someone successful and to see it all from the inside before I went off on my own.
Over the years, I’ve tried to pay that same opportunity forward. I’ve brought on interns the last few seasons, and it’s been great! I get some much-needed help, and they have hopefully had the chance to learn things they couldn’t have learned in school. This past year, I got a new intern, CoCo, who actually interned at the studio in Chicago just after I moved to Boston, and then moved to Boston herself. She’s so awesome though, that I had to take her on as a paid assistant/photo editor. And man, she’s been SUCH a help to me!!! But here we are, reaching the peak of wedding season (in Boston at least), and we need some more help! So, we’re hoping to find a new intern to add to the team!! If you’re interested, check out the details below to see if you’d be a good fit!!
