Updated Varuska Family Photos


I always get so excited when the Varuska’s decide it’s time for another family photo session.  I’ve been photographing them since the twins turned 1 year old and now they almost in middle school.  It’s just crazy how quickly the time goes.  I got to photograph them on a family farm in a clover field that was in full bloom… […]

Taylor Spring 2024


Taylor’s cap and gown mini-session took place on a gorgeous but WINDY spring evening.  Her hair is the kind we all envy and there is a lot of it so we fought with – and then worked with – the wind to create these images.  Isn’t she beautiful? Congratulations on a job well done in high school Taylor.  I know […]

Grayson and Natalie Spring 2024


There is nothing to not love about the Wall Twins.  They are both talented. Kind. Fun. Thoughtful.  Appreciative.  Grayson has come into his own in the past year as a sports photographer.  The images he captures are unique and inspiring.  He frames them beautifully and somehow creates action shots that also come across as portraits – the personality of the […]

Madison Spring 2024


I first met Madison at the end of her junior year of high school because she won the Chehalem Valley Chamber of Commerce Junior Citizen of the Year award and I was hired to photograph her for the Chamber.  She lives up to all the hype.  Humble. Kind. Smart. Hard-working.  Successful.  She’ll be going to Oregon State to study engineering […]

Katie… BSN


Our daughter Katie graduated summa cum laude from Biola University with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing and a minor in Theology.  She walked with a perfect 4.00 GPA in a rigorous nursing program, in spite of working part-time her entire college career.  She also volunteered extensively with Young Life, played club lacrosse for Biola, participated in Mock Rock, and […]

Jordan’s Spring Session


Jordan had a windy and cold, but sunny spring day for her second senior session.  We added her family, then just her parents for some of these special shots.  Such a big deal to be finishing high school and it feels surreal since I’ve known Jordan since she was 3 or 4 years old.  LOVE YOU JORDAN!  Boise State is […]

Pacific Northwest Dreamy Proposal


Cameron is a new transplant to the Pacific Northwest.  He moved here from sunny southern California to go to grad school.  His fiancé Ashleigh is also a SoCal native.  When Cameron and I consulted about photographing his proposal to Ashleigh, I warned him about the Pacific Northwest’s moody spring weather.  All Cameron knew was SoCal proposals – golden hour light […]

Linsey Macy Group


I had the privilege of photographing Linsey Macy and her team this spring.  Amazing realtors. Even better humans.  Such a treat to get to know them all a little better and give them some new images to use for their ever growing business.  Well done ladies.  You inspire.     #jodistilpphotography #contemporarycorporate #realestateheadshots #professionalheadshots

Ben Nelson and Team


Ben Nelson and his team at Assurance Team Real Estate  needed updated head shots and a group image to capture their newly formed team.  We had a beautiful spring day for their photo session and captured the guys in a relaxed, natural way.  Contact Ben for your real estate needs. #jodistilpphotography #realestate #contemporarycorporate #professionalheadshots #headshots

The Colyer’s


I don’t get a ton of chances to be around babies these days so it was SO FUN to photograph the Colyer’s and their sweet little girl.  The original photo session date and time was supposed to be decent weather, but on the way to the session it started raining.  It was cold, windy and drizzling rain… not ideal for […]
