Golden Hour Photos


We’ve been talking for three years about doing family photos for this awesome family but the timing never worked out.  Finally, we grabbed our chance and had PERFECT weather.  The spring flowers were in bloom and the golden hour lighting on this late spring evening was so pretty.  Thanks Croskrey’s for a fun night. #jodistilpphotography #familyportraits #springportraits #goldenhour

Sydney


I met Sydney when she was in early elementary school. It’s hard to wrap my head around the fact that she is now a high school graduate and headed to Linfield College to study nursing in the fall.  WELL DONE Sydney!  May God continue to lead you in this next chapter of your life. #jodistilpphotography #seniorportraits #classof2020 #capandgownphotos

Welcome Home!


Our good friends had been in the process of adopting their daughter from India for what felt like forever. In December our prayers were answered and they were finally able to bring their sweet girl home.  The intricate ways that God moved and the beautiful prayers He answered to unite this family to their daughter leave me speechless.  It was […]

Winter Portraits


I love it when I have a high school senior contact me for winter portraits. Even though it’s barren, there are still pockets of beauty, and winter portraits just feel more unique.  Liam wanted a mini session with an outdoorsy feel. We got lucky with the weather – a pocket of dry sandwiched in between days and days of rain […]

A New Fur Baby


The Williams family love quick and easy when it comes to photo sessions, especially with all those boys.  We shot their winter session at the park a block from their house on a crisp, cold winter morning.  We were in and out in under 20 minutes and I got to photograph their new fur baby too.  Isn’t he handsome? Thank […]

New Addition


This sweet family has a new addition since I last photographed them, but we had the same chilly, foggy weather as their last session.  At least we’re consistent! I love a mini-session for families with young kids.  It’s designed to be quick and efficient, grabbing those smiles while they last.  Aren’t they cute? #jodistilpphotography #familyportraits #familyoffive #fallportraits

Matt


Matt is a senior at Mountainside High School.  Matt plays lacrosse and loves photography and art.  He wanted an urban themed senior photo session with some sharp contrast in the final images. Matt’s mom was looking for scenic images with fall colors, and a couple of photos of mom and son together.  His cute dog even made a cameo appearance. […]

Quick and Easy


I love the Simple Offering mini-session for my families who want a quick and easy solution to family portraits.  The Hastin were so photogenic and easy to work with that they were in and out in fifteen minutes, something I’m sure all those men in the family appreciated. Have a great year Hastin family.  I really enjoyed meeting you. #jodistilpphotography […]

Harper


Our neighbors just had a baby.  Sweet Harper is all sorts of darling, with her red hair, pretty eyes and big expressions.  I loved hanging out with them for a little photo session after her arrival. They are the greatest family… loads of personality and just so fun.  And how cute are their kiddos’ bedrooms? We’re so lucky to have […]

Maisie


Maisie, you are the sweetest little pumpkin and such a trooper to go along with our nod to Ann Geddes with our vegetable props. You have the coolest parents. Artistic, intelligent, witty, musical…  Your Dad can build stuff. Your Mom sings like an angel.  They preserve heirlooms that tell stories and this is evident in your nursery and in your […]
