1iStudios en Theos

1i Studios en Theos, where passion and creativity meet! I approach my art as a gift from God. He has given me an eye and a passion to create beautiful, fun, and thought-provoking images and I want to share that gift with others. The majority of my work is done on-location because I feel that people are more relaxed in an environment with which they are familiar.

Portrait photography should capture the essence of who one is, without words. Wedding photography should not only capture the who, what, when, where and why of the wedding and reception, but catch those private moments to which others pay no attention. The greatest compliment to me is when a bride says "How did you get so many wonderful pictures, I did not see you that much!".

1i Studios en Theos is not an "in your face" type of photography experience. You just relax and let us do "all the heavy lifting". We also do not double-book. Your experience is your own and our time and attention are focused exclusively on you!

A Kodak Brownie camera at the age of 5 was all it took to ignite Pamela L. Velez's passion for photography. A self-taught photographer, Pamela truly realized her talent shortly after the birth of her children. What began as a photographic chronicle of her children's lives developed into a full-fledged, portrait and wedding photography business. In 1984, her Youngstown, Ohio-based business, Inner Vision Photography took form. In 1992 Pamela relocated to Pittsburgh, PA where she had to place her passion on low flame for a few short years. A chance opportunity (ordained by God no less) happened while attending a friend of a friend's wedding. The photographer became ill and Pamela 'just happened to be" armed with her camera. After shooting the wedding, she presented the couple with the most memorable wedding gift imaginable - their own album. Hold That Thought, Inc. was born from that experience. Hold That Thought eventually became 1i Studios en Theos (inspired by God). Pamela says "Creation is most majestic when it simply is what God created it to be…that includes us!" Pamela believes that she was created to photograph the world around her and with camera in hand, her creativity fuels her passion.
