The Luthers have been our neighbors for ten years. An entire decade. Where does the time go?!?! Layla and I really got to know each other when I joined her Cascade Lakes Relay team. We raced together for two (or was it three?) years and had so much fun together. Layla is one of the kindest women I know. She’s […]
It’s no secret to anyone who knows me personally or follows my running career that Handful bras have been a steady part of my story since I first discovered them six years ago in 2012. My Handful bras have become my Go To for pretty much everything… workouts, running, yoga, every day use, backpacking, hiking, swim suit tops and anything […]
It’s hard to believe we’ve only known the Specter’s for a few years because our lives have become so intertwined. Our son works for them, tending their vines, pulling weeds, and any other Man Work that Winemaker Dave has for him. Grant loves the Shirt Optional dress code, sweating in the sun vs. an easier job indoors, and the flexible […]
Ethan is a soccer player for Valley Catholic High School and plans to study engineering after high school. I very much enjoyed getting to know him and his mom during his session on a beautiful fall morning at Champoeg State Park. Best of luck to you Ethan as you finish high school and move into your college years. #jodistilpphotography […]
There is something about these two brothers that just melts me. The way they interact with each, their mom and with me is so precious. And that full body hug that Fletcher gave me? Well that just made my day. Maybe my week. Last year little Win was not on the move. This year, he was all over the vineyard, […]
Another year… another session with the awesome Nanson family. We’ve got this Fall Family Photo Session thing dialed in. Thanks Nanson’s for trusting me to help tell your family’s story. It’s so fun to watch your girls grow up. They are beautiful. May God bless you and your family in the coming year. #jodistilpphotography #familyportraits #fall #familyoffive #tellyourstory
Nicole got my number from a friend and gave me a call. By the time we hung up, I felt like I had a new friend. It was so great to meet Nicole and her darling family at their photo session. It was one of the first days of fall that felt like fall… a little bit of fog, some […]
I met Jaci through my daughter when they were both on the middle school track team. They became fast friends. Jaci’s mom, Dawn, and I started chatting and realized we both liked to run. We ran together once. Then twice. Then weekly. Then multiple times a week. Running brought our families together. Fast forward six years.. Jaci and my son […]
I’ve known the Faucher family for years. Recently they adopted the cutest puppy on the planet. And then they called me to tell me they had won a Simple Offering I donated to a local auction. They wanted to redeem it for family photos with the new pup. A new puppy and a fun family? LUCKY ME! The weather forecast […]
Meet Samantha, senior at Newberg High School. Her big smile is contagious and she is so fun to be around. Isn’t she lovely? We had a beautiful fall morning for Sam’s photo session and we split our time between two local vineyards. Thank you Rex Hill and Bells Up for your hospitality. May God bless you this year Sam, as […]
