the Morgan Family


I met the Morgan family for the first time this year and they were so fun to work with.  They opted for a mini-session (Simple Offering) at the winery where Gabi works.  It was short, sweet, and fun.  What else can you want from family portraits?  Have a great year Morgan’s! #jodistilpphotography #portraits #familyportraits #fallportraits

Seth


Seth is a Class of 2023 senior at St. Paul High School.  Baseball is his passion so we started at his home field on a GORGEOUS fall morning.  Seth also plays guitar so we made sure to get some snaps of him with guitar. Seth is smart and handy… currently working on fixing up his Grandpa’s old truck.  If he […]

Grant


Grant is a Class of 2023 senior at Newberg High School.  He’s a highly decorated water polo player (can you say All League and All State already before his senior year) and has been leading his team toward the possibility of a state championship this year.  He’s also insanely smart and on track to be a valedictorian of his senior […]

Byars Family + Jonah


It was great to reconnect with the Byars family after a couple of years apart.  Jonah is now a senior at Lincoln High School so we did a family mini-session and then Jonah and I took off to shoot his senior portrait session.  We had a beautiful fall morning to work with and Portland was showing off! Thank you Byars […]

Christian


Christian is a Class of 2023 senior.  He’s wicked smart and is dual enrolled in an online high school and a local community college which means he’s quickly accumulating college credits while still in high school. He’s also a pilot – far enough into his training that he is able to take his plane up with his instructor teaching from […]

DeMaster Smith Family


I met the DeMaster Smith for the first time this year and it was such a pleasure.  We shot their family session in their insanely beautiful back yard which made these photos even more special.  Everywhere I looked was a feast for the eyes and the hours of tender loving care were obvious. Thanks for asking me to take your […]

The Hall’s 2022


Another year with the Hall family.  So surreal to think I started photographing them when Eleanor was a baby.  I look forward to this session every year.  Amazing people with so much love for each other and the world.  Also bonus to Melissa and Jason for randomly breaking out in the EXACT same song from a musical based on one […]

Clayton


Clayton is a Class of 2023 senior at Cascade High School. I had the opportunity to work with him because his mom and I went to high school together.  She found out I was photographer and hired me.  It was SO FUN to reconnect and to go back to the old stomping grounds. Clayton is an accomplished tuba player. He […]

Ethan


Ethan is a Class of 2023 senior at St. Paul High School.  He plays baseball.  Loves his car. Is an entrepreneur with his own design and apparel company. He worked two jobs durning the summer – ATTA KID – and was just so fun to get to know. We shot his session on a perfect early fall evening and got to […]

the Hawney’s


Teachers: Unappreciated. Underpaid. Influencers. World Changers. A gift from God.  We all can tell stories with specific details of how a teacher or a coach impacted our lives.  Jessica Hawney is one of the greatest teachers we’ve met.  Jessica SEES greatness in kids.  She SEES past their imperfections, past their road blocks, past their resistance to WHO they actually are […]
