We are so proud of our son Grant. He recently graduated cum laude from California Baptist University as a Civil Engineer. In his four years of college he… Navigated COVID. Got sent home in March of his first year of college to finish online. His second year the campus was still closed and classes were online, but his engineering labs […]
When Rachel booked me to take her family photos for the end of February we thought we were gambling with working around rain. But winter in Oregon this year has been much colder than usual. What would have typically just been a wet, cold week turned into a late winter snow storm two days before their session was scheduled. The […]
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 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 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 […]
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
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. […]
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 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 […]
