This document summarizes an interview with Krista Blythe, a portrait photographer. Blythe owns her own studio called Melody Street in Milwaukie, Oregon. As a portrait photographer, she photographs people and sometimes pets in both indoor studio settings and outdoor locations. The career requires technical, artistic, and business skills. While the work offers creative freedom, relying on client preferences limits this. Salaries for portrait photographers generally meet living expenses but income can be unpredictable as it depends on a steady stream of clients.
