Taking Advantage of Being Together for the Holidays


Every holiday season I get inquiries from clients wondering if I’m willing to shoot photo sessions in the days just before or just after Christmas.  The answer is almost always “Yes.”  Not because I particularly like peeling myself off the couch where I’m snuggled with my crew who are home on Christmas break, but because I understand just how special […]

When Everyone is in Town


Every holiday season I get inquiries from clients wondering if I’m willing to shoot photo sessions in the days just before or just after Christmas.  The answer is almost always “Yes.”  Not because I particularly like peeling myself off the couch where I’m snuggled with my crew who are home on Christmas break, but because I understand just how special […]

Nate


Nate is Class of 2023 senior at Estacada High School.  Skilled with his hands and working with motors and cars, he bought and brought back to life a beautiful old truck. Nate plans to continue to work with motors/vehicles in some capacity after he graduates from high school.  We had a COLD and clear winter day to shoot his senior […]

Kiki


Kiki is a Class of 2023 senior at Sherwood High School.  She competes in color guard and plays in the band.  She brought her wooden color guard rifle to her session and showed me how she spins it during competition. SO COOL!  I’ve known Kiki since she was in pre-school so it was a huge honor to take her senior […]

the Wolcott’s


My first time working with the Wolcott’s and they are such a sweet family.  It was fun to grab some winter photos while their son was home on vacation.  Have a great year! #jodistilpphotography #familyportraits #winterportraits

The Windsor’s


Kelly has been my Go To Girl since I moved to Newberg.  She lived down the street from the house we rented for short-term housing.  One afternoon of chatting and the kids playing sealed a friendship that has spanned more than 14 years, in spite of us moving across town five months later. Our boys are all still best friends. […]

Williams Family 2022


I have been photographing the Williams family every year for at least 6 or 7 years.  This year we chose to go back to the location of one of their first sessions and then we re-created several of the poses with their boys who have morphed from elementary school to high school and college young men.  It was the worst […]

Maya


Maya is a Class of 2023 senior at Liberty High School.  She opted for a Simple Offering (mini-session) for a short and sweet late fall session. Maya honored her Dad’s memory by bringing a framed photo of him to hold next to a baby photo of her in a one of the images.  It was very special.  It was great […]

Christian


Christian is a Class of 2023 senior at Westside Christian High School.  He wants to design video games for a living and guess what?  There are universities that offer this major which I think is so cool!  Christian is a musician and an athlete and just an all around great guy.  We had to reschedule his photo session THREE times […]
