the Robertson’s


I met Molly playing pickleball.  We were both new to the game.  She was catching on SUPER fast.  I was not.  Like how can a game that looks so easy be so hard?  Anyway, we both like to laugh and have a hard time staying focused for long periods of time so we bonded over these things and formed a […]

Clara Cap and Gown


Clara is a 2025 graduate from Newberg High School who plan to attend George Fox University in the fall to study nursing.  It was poetic that she chose the Fox campus as the location for her high school graduation cap and gown photos… an ode to what has been and a nod to what lies ahead.  We had the most […]

ZiZi Cap and Gown


Oregon has been showing off with two straight weeks of no rain and late evening spring sunshine.  ZiZi and I took full advantage of that pretty light for her cap and gown mini-session.  Isn’t she lovely?  Congratulations ZiZi.  It’s been such a joy to work with you this summer and now again to celebrate your graduation accomplishment.  I pray you […]

Tristan Spring Session


Tristan is a Class of 2025 senior.  We shot a summer session before his senior year and his mom wanted to bookend his senior year with a spring session as well, including some with his cap and gown.  The weather in Oregon has been INSANE these past few weeks… so so beautiful and that included the day of Tristan’s session. […]

Finn


Finn is a Class of 2025 senior at Central Catholic High School.  He loves to run and has participated in competitive cross country and track and he also plays golf.  Finn opted for a spring senior portrait session and downtown Portland was just coming to life with all sorts of new growth on the trees.  It was one of the […]

And Baby Makes Five


And baby makes five… welcome to this world little Aliyah.  You are already so dearly loved and much anticipated.  I can’t wait to watch you grow. #jodistilpphotography #newbornphotography #familyportraits #familyoffive

Taste Newberg


Taste Newberg wanted updated photos of their Board of Directors. I joined them at their winter meeting and shot individual portraits as board members arrived.  When everyone was present, we did a group shot and I left to go home and edit while they put their heads together to continue to make Newberg a prime location for tourism and hospitality. […]

Another Year…


The Williams Family is one of my favs… every year we pick a place in the neighborhood to do a quick family photo session.  Every year, they bring their awesome family and their dogs.  We’ve been re-creating the boys on piggy back since they were little groms.  Hard to believe Owie is a senior in high school now. (Insert crying […]

A Great Gift Idea


Elisha contacted me last December about getting a photo session gift certificate for her Mom and Dad.  It’s such a great gift idea and I was happy to oblige.  They opted to wait until late fall to redeem their session because a sweet new addition needed to be included.  It was so great to meet this beautiful family and commemorate […]

Hunter


Hunter is a Class of 2025 senior at C.S. Lewis Academy.  He loves basketball so we made sure to incorporate this passion into his senior portraits.  We also found some abandoned railroad tracks to use as a backdrop for his photos, re-creating this Dad’s senior portraits, which was meaningful.  So great to meet you Hunter.  I hope you have an […]
