the Lind’s


The Lind’s needed updated family photos, but a greater need was senior portraits for their daughter Hayden, a Class of 2025 senior at Westside Christian High School.  We brainstormed different options and settled on a mini family photo session first.  Once that was done, non crucial family members were dismissed and we shifted the focus to Hayden.  She had a […]

Grady


Grady is a Class of 2025 senior at St. Paul High School.  I photographed Grady for the first time 11 years ago when he was just a little guy, so it felt a bit surreal to be taking his senior portraits.  Grady is polite, somewhat quiet, hard working and kind. He’s also incredibly humble and very talented, especially in the […]

Ben


Ben is a Class of 2025 senior at Newberg High School.  Ben is a talented athlete, specializing in lacrosse but he has also played varsity soccer and football.  We shot round one of his session on the high school field, between youth football games.  No boy would ever choose to have an audience getting their senior photos taken but Ben […]

James


James is a Class of 2025 senior at Veritas High School.  He wants to study cinema in college and already has one short film to his name, so it only made sense that we shoot some of his senior session at the historic Cameo Theatre in downtown Newberg.  James’ photos are unique, creative, and so cool.  It was a fun […]

Jonah and Sanaa


Jonah and Sanaa are Class of 2025 seniors at Grant High School.  Both highly intelligent, they are wrapping up high school with multiple Advanced Placement classes and are whittling down their college application lists.  I loved getting to know Jonah and Sanaa and working together to create fun images of each of them, but also capturing some of that twin […]

the Staley’s


Nanci is a local photographer.  We both started our businesses around the same time which gave us an immediate connecting point.  We refer clients to each other, photograph each other’s families, collab on business ideas, and have built a fun friendship.  We updated their family photos in September on a strangely sunny fall evening.  Since Nanci is always behind the […]

the Arnold’s


I met the Arnold family because their friend referred them to me.  And MAN!  It was SO WORTH modifying my availability to accommodate this session.  All their adult children were in town at the same time.  They all like each other.  They laugh freely.  And are so much fun.  What a great way to spend an evening.  Have a great […]

Steel


Steel is a Class of 2025 senior at Westview High School.  She love her dogs (they both made cameo appearances in her senior photo session).  Steel is also a talented volleyball player and is committed to continue her volleyball career at Temple University.  We had the dreamiest light to play with during her session and we took full advantage of […]

Gina


Gina is a Class of 2025 senior at Horizon Christian High School.  She wanted fun water photos so we found a pretty creek to play in and then captured some beautiful early fall light in a meadow to finish her session.  I loved meeting you Gina and pray you have an awesome, fun and blessed senior year.   #jodistilpphotography #classof2025 […]
