The Photographer

My name is Krista Boccio.  I am a professional photographer of three decades, now working freelance in Washington, D.C.  My career began just after college, when I worked as a stringer for The Ocala Star Banner newspaper while I was pregnant with my first child. As my life progressed, I opened my own studio as an event and portrait photographer, which allowed me to build my craft while raising my family.

In 2014, I became the lead photographer for an estate sale company while continuing my own studio. I moved to Virginia from Columbus, Ohio in 2018, and then into D.C. proper in 2021. The unifying thread of my work has been my community-oriented, journalistic approach: I strive to amplify people’s stories through my craft. Influenced by recent social and political events, I am moved now to help tell the stories of my neighborhood.
