The Miller twins are two. Two times two equals a ton of non-stop movement, big emotions, and fun. It’s so fun to see the world through a young explorer’s eyes: awe and wonder at things we take for granted. We could learn a little something from these precious kiddos. This year we added Grandma and Grandpa to the Crazy Party […]
Our family LOVES the Stewart family for just a few of these reasons. The Stewarts are: Fun. Kind. Generous Hard working. Talented – every time we’re around them we discover some new skill or talent they have. Godly. Amazing parents. Madly in love which is always so refreshing to see in a marriage. And we get our Christmas trees from […]
My friend Jenny has been such an encouragement and support to my business. I love being the photographer she calls for special moments in her life. This fall I photographed her with her extended family. Her parents are big Oregon Ducks fans so we had fun switching into Ducks paraphernalia after the more traditional portraits. Merry Christmas Hagglund’s! #jodistilpphotography #familyportraits […]
I was so happy when Alicia called to book another Dickenson Family photo session. Our kids have grown up together and it’s fun to see them all morphing into mini-adults. Plus they are just straight up fun. They laugh freely and do a lot of joking around. Grandma Maggie earned the Grandma of the Year award when she let Grant […]
Fall in Oregon is unpredictable. You never know what you’re going to get. When I left my house to drive to the Moyer’s photo session it was bright, beautiful sunshine. I crested a little mountain and drove right into thick fog that didn’t lift for miles. Thankfully the fog adds mystery and beauty to portraits and we were able to […]
The Busch Family will always be near and dear to my heart. I met Sandra in the pre-school drop off/pick up line when our now 8th graders were four years old. We had both – with no regrets – put careers on hold to raise our babies. As our kids got older and our days unfolded with more time, we […]
I love the fall because my families that I work with annually start calling to set up their family portrait sessions. For some of these families, this is the only time I get to see them each year. We try to hang with the Nanson’s a little more than during their yearly portrait session, but I at least know I […]
Gaironn is one of the most efficient people I’ve worked with and I LOVE efficiency! She knew when and where she wanted her photo session and had a clear vision for what she wanted to accomplish within the session. I loved meeting her and her darling sons. They were so cute and so sweet. She also happens to help operate […]
Meet the Specter Family: Dave, Sara, Naomi and Cupcake, the non-winery dog. They own Bells Up Winery in the beautiful foothills of Newberg. They are down to earth, fun, hard working, witty, and make incredible wine. My son works for Dave during the summer and on the occasional weekend when he doesn’t have water polo, swimming or golf. The Specter’s […]
Jack is a senior at Newberg High School. His little brother plays water polo with my son and that’s how we met Jack’s family. Things I knew about Jack before his senior session: 1. He’s a very good football player. 2. He’s also a very good wrestler. 3. He’s had the same girlfriend since he was a freshman. Things I […]
