Naomi


Naomi is a Class of 2026 senior.  I’ve been photographing her and her family since she was 5 years old… watching her grow from year to year and having clients morph into dear friends.  I truly can’t believe she’s graduating and stepping into this next season in life.  Don’t blink friends because time truly flies.  Naomi is a talented aerialist […]

Promposal: Tannar + Naomi


Naomi and Tannar have been dating for almost a year and they are such a cute couple.  They just click when they’re together.  He pulled off the cutest, most thoughtful, elaborate promposal at the end of Naomi’s senior portrait sessions.  Both of their moms were deeply involved in the planning and I was filled in on the scheme a few […]

Chloe


Chloe is a Class of 2026 senior who chose a late winter/early spring portrait session that combined her love of nature with her urban style. I left Newberg in bright sunshine, drove through a spring downpour on my way to Portland, and watched the storm roll out right before her scheduled session time.  As we were finishing photographing Chloe in […]

Luke + Reilly


On January 31st, Luke asked Reilly to marry him and she said, “YES!”  It was a tear-inducing, joy-filled moment and as the photographer hired to capture it, I almost missed it!  Luke and Reilly travelled in from out of state – a surprise trip for Reilly – so they could celebrate their engagement with her family.  Luke and I spent […]

When Your Paths Keep Crossing


Michelle and Josh are two people that God keeps bringing across my path.  My husband first met them on the shuttle bus at the airport when they were newly married and all three of them just happened to be flying to Minnesota. A few months later, they stopped to help our daughter who had a flat tire on the side […]

That Grandparenting Life


Some of our best friends stepped into that grandparenting life in September and man has it been fun to see their entire family radiate joy in this new season.  It was my honor to photograph the whole family over Christmas break.  We got sunshine but it was COLD and windy.  Little Sawyer was such a trooper, still smiling even in […]

Cooper


Cooper is a Class of 2026 senior at Lake Oswego High School.  He plays baseball and golf and loves his dog and the Oregon Ducks.  We had sunny, cold, windy winter day to work with for his photos.  We just about got blown off the dock when we attempted water photos but Cooper was a good sport and the cold […]

NBC Capital Advisors


It was time to update the headshots for NBC Capital Advisors.  It had been raining, raining, raining so we chose their office building as the location for this session so we could shoot under cover.  As it turns out, we grabbed a pocket of time in the day when the rain not only stopped but the sun came out.  YAY! […]

The Duerr’s


When you have kids away at college you schedule family photos when everyone will be home, and often that’s on winter break.  We squeezed a quick photo session in with the Duerr family just before Christmas and I love the moody, magical winter vibe of the photos.  Have a great year Duerr fam.  You know I adore you. #jodistilpphotography #familyportraits […]

Audrey


Audrey is a Class of 2026 senior at Newberg High School.  She competes in OHSET (Oregon High School Equestrian Team) with her very handsome horse.  We started Audrey’s session at the barn with her horse, then switched to showcasing her truck that she worked hard to purchase.  We finished her session up on the mountain highlighting Oregon’s forest and the […]
