Mandy contacted me in the fall to ask about my availability to photograph their entire family around Christmas time. They were traveling in from different parts of the country and everything was pending COVID restrictions. Not to mention Oregon winters are notoriously rainy and not very scenic by late December. Thankfully we had a rainless morning (in the midst of […]
Another year with the Williams’ family makes me happy. Their obvious love for each other and the way they enjoy life makes them so fun to be around. Plus take one look at Rizzo, their dog. He’s the handsomest. We always have a good time, in spite of the fact that there are three men who would rather be doing […]
I’m so honored when a client hires me and then tells me, “We’ve never had professional family portraits taken” or “it’s been years since we’ve done professional portraits.” The Cannon family fell into that category, so it was pretty awesome to get some fun snaps of their family in the fun location they chose, in spite of the cold and […]
Ryan and Mandee are the type of people everyone wants as friends. They are solidly grounded in their faith which leads to a strong marriage, deep friendships, and patient, consistent parenting of their three awesome boys. We adore them. They make life look easy, even when it’s the farthest thing from easy. May the Lord continue to guide and lead […]
This is the second time I’ve had the privilege of photographing the extended Johnson family. It’s crazy how much the kids grew and changed in a handful of years. Rain was not in the forecast for their session. And yet… we got everybody set up for the first photo and the skies unleashed. We ran for cover and contemplated our […]
This is Whitney. Isn’t she darling? We did a mini-session together this fall just because. Because 2020 has been a hard year and because stuff like this brings joy. What’s not to love about a darling kiddo smiling in the sunshine?!? Thanks for bring some sunshine and joy to my life Whitney. You’re amazing. #jodistilpphotography #minisession #portraits
Each time I sat down to work with these family photos, I mumbled, “OKAY CUTE!” at least once or twice. I mean… seriously. They are just so cute. And fun. And nice. Plus Grandma GG is total goals. Isn’t she stunning and fun with her pink hair and her awesome style? It was sunny but FREEZING and super windy, so […]
Heather and her kiddos were so excited for their family photo session. We had a gorgeous, sunny fall day for their session, and then… it started raining hard right as their session started. When there is hand-curled hair involved, you don’t do rainy portraits. What a bummer. We opted to switch to a location with covered spaces instead of […]
The Specter’s are another one of my OG families. They took a chance on me when I was a newbie photographer, then hired me back in spite of being forced indoors by a winter storm for their first photo session. Over the years since that first eventful session, my talent, their grapes, their daughter, and our friendship has grown. I’m […]
The Nanson family hired me my first year out as a newbie photographer. They put their trust in me, and have continued to hire me each year to document how their girls are growing. By now we all have the photo session down to a routine: get in, get out, get on your way. I love seeing them each year, […]
