First this:
if you go to http://affiliate.manning.com/idevaffiliate.php?id=223_212
you can download chapter 6 of "iText in Action --- Second Edition" for free.
This chapter gives an overview of the different PDF manipulation classes
in iText.

Would PdfStamper help me make this process any easier?
No, because with PdfStamper, you always work with one and only one PDF
document.
You can insert pages from other PDFs, but you'll lose the annotations on
those pages (and you don't want that).
I've tried unsuccessfully to add an image directly while using PdfCopy.
If you've downloaded chapter 6, go to page 188.
There's an example that explains how to add content to an imported page
in combination with PdfCopy.
You could use a PDF with a blank page, import it, and add an image.
However, if I were asked to do this assignment, I'd let the person
giving the assignment choose:
1. Do you want a traditional PDF?
I create a new PDF using PdfCopy.
Whenever I encounter a PDF, I add it.
Whenever I encounter an image, I create a single page PDF in memory and
add that PDF.
That's a variation on what you're doing.
2. Do you want a portable collection?
Please Google for "portable collection", "portfolio", or "PDF package"
(these are more or less synonyms).
You'll find examples like this:
http://examples.itextpdf.com/results/part4/chapter16/kubrick_movies.pdf
A portable collection is like a ZIP file that you can open in Adobe Reader.
This zip file can contain ANY type of document (even Word documents).
I'm not sure if this form of PDF is acceptable for you, but it's an
elegant solution.
