Melissa and Jason were the highest bidders on a photo session I donated to Visible Grace. They saved their session and redeemed it when their beautiful daughter Lillian was born. Jason and Melissa are so easy to work with. They had a clear vision of what they wanted to accomplish in the session. It was fun to work together to […]
Lindalynn loves the town she grew up in, reading and playing her antique clarinet. It was fun to incorporate these passions into her senior session. Thanks for playing your clarinet for me Lindalynn… you play so beautifully. May Jesus bless you in your senior year. #jodistilpphotography #seniorportraits #sherwoodhighschool #classof2018 #clarinet #reading #tellyourstory
Devin is a senior at Clackamas High School and a football player. He chose Crown Point in the Columbia River Gorge as the starting point for his senior session. We explored the area around the Vista House then dropped down into the gorge and hiked/took photos on the trail by Latourell Falls. He could not have chosen a more beautiful, […]
Milly was one of my first friends in Newberg. I was herding my crew of Little People (ages 7,6, 4, and 2) through the pre-school parking lot to register my 4 year old for school when she stepped out of her car. Elegant and sophisticated to my haggard and tired, Milly introduced herself with her beautiful Serbian accent and told […]
Ruth and I met at the gym shortly after my family moved to Newberg. She was always friendly and ready with a smile. We both loved running, but our schedules didn’t match up to run together for years. Finally we were able to go on a run together and it was a LONG one… Ruth joined me for 18 of […]
The Paulson’s hired me in late November to take their family portraits in mid-December. And then Snowpocalypse happened. So we rescheduled into Oregon’s rainiest winter on record. And re-scheduled. And re-scheduled. Then wised up and waited until July because July is 99% sunny in Oregon. We had a beautiful evening for their photo session – well worth the wait to […]
I met Ashley through running. (We’re in the same van on our Hood to Coast team so our friendship went deep immediately cause we lived out of a van together for 24 hours.) It’s no surprise that Ashley is Ah-Maz-INg. Smart, driven, compassionate with a quick wit, Ashley excels at everything she sets her mind to. Running? Oh she’s fast. […]
Photographing this darling family reminded me of how fun toddlers and preschoolers are. Busy, curious, always learning, always asking questions, fluctuating emotions… the world is still so fresh and new. I loved my time with this adorable family. #jodistilpphotography #tellyourstory #familyportraits #toddlers #preschoolers #familyoffour
Madi is a senior at Newberg High School. She loves coffee, her boyfriend Matt, and track and field. She is delightful to be around and a natural model. We had a ton of fun during her senior session. I think we’re kindred spirits on some level because we accidentally twinned for her first outfit. Have an awesome senior year Madi. […]
Luke is a senior at Portland Christian. He plays basketball and football and is very polite and kind. We met at a local park for his session and he invited his mom to join him for a few of his portraits. It was great to meet them both. Have a great year Luke. #jodistilpphotography #seniorportraits #classof2018 #portlandchristianhighschool #tellyourstory
