James and Harlow


James and Harlow have an enviable friendship.  What started as friendship morphed into brotherhood and they are finishing out their high school careers and entering adulthood as brothers.  What a gift!  They decided to shoot their senior sessions together, doing a mix of images together and then each of them with their own takes on their individual shots. We had […]

Hunter


Hunter is a Class of 2027 senior at McMinnville High School.  We met his Grandpa at a local park and used Grandpa’s beautiful old car for the first part of the senior session, then shifted to downtown McMinnville.  We walked around the busy streets, stopping any place that looked cool and snapping some photos.  The final result?  An incredible variety […]

Cousins


The last time I photographed cousins Lauren, Emily and Nolan, Lauren was in 8th grade.  Now she’s about to enter her second year of college, Emily just finished her sophomore year of high school and is already entertaining offers from colleges to play volleyball, and Nolan is starting high school.  Time really is a thief.  Thanks for another fun photo […]

Trillium


Trillium is a Class of 2027 senior at Newberg High School. She opted to travel to Mt. Hood, including Trillium Lake, and man did we get a beautiful moody night to work with. We had wind, golden light, clouds/blue sky and at the end of the session, storm clouds rolling in.  It was magical and so fun to spend the […]

Abbie


Abbie is a Class of 2027 senior at Newberg High School. She wanted all the flowers – and of course a golden field – for her summer senior portraits and we crushed the assignment.  All the pretty flowers. All the pretty light.  All the beautiful outfits. And one stunning model whose personality outshines her beauty.  It was a magical night […]

Kole


Kole is a Class of 2027 senior at Sherwood High School.  He’s an accomplished runner – cross country and track – and hopes to compete at the collegiate level.  Kole is also an accomplished musician – a vocalist who competes in solo competitions.  Kole also brought it with his senior portrait outfits – a full suit? C’MON!  It was so […]

Ariane


Ariane’s story is so inspiring.  She worked for over 17 years as a medical assistant and then decided to go back to school and become a Physician Assistant. PA school is not for the faint of heart.  Students basically cram 4 years of medical school into two+ INTENSE years of full time classroom for the first year and then a […]

the Lunz’s


Every handful of years the Lunz family and I get together to update their family portraits.  This time it was LONG overdue and man was it fun to take a road trip to their new home in Idaho and call it “work.”  Sure do love you guys!  So thankful you’ve found such a great community in Eagle. #jodistilpphotography #familyportraits

Lions Den Toys & Books


If you live in or near Eagle, Idaho, a trip to Lions Den Toys & Books is a MUST on your To Do List.  Owners Mesina and Jeff Lunz dreamt of opening a toy and book store that brought back the nostalgia of years past and included educational, classic toys and books that encourage creativity, critical thinking, innovation and confidence […]

Brady


Brady is a Class of 2027 senior at Sherwood High School.  I’ve been photographing the Edinger family for years, including senior photo sessions for both of his older siblings.  It felt surreal to be adventuring out one last time with the Edinger’s for a senior photo excursion.  Brady is an avid and accomplished distance runner and hopes to compete at […]
