Our good friends had been in the process of adopting their daughter from India for what felt like forever. In December our prayers were answered and they were finally able to bring their sweet girl home. The intricate ways that God moved and the beautiful prayers He answered to unite this family to their daughter leave me speechless. It was […]
The Williams family love quick and easy when it comes to photo sessions, especially with all those boys. We shot their winter session at the park a block from their house on a crisp, cold winter morning. We were in and out in under 20 minutes and I got to photograph their new fur baby too. Isn’t he handsome? Thank […]
This sweet family has a new addition since I last photographed them, but we had the same chilly, foggy weather as their last session. At least we’re consistent! I love a mini-session for families with young kids. It’s designed to be quick and efficient, grabbing those smiles while they last. Aren’t they cute? #jodistilpphotography #familyportraits #familyoffive #fallportraits
I love the Simple Offering mini-session for my families who want a quick and easy solution to family portraits. The Hastin were so photogenic and easy to work with that they were in and out in fifteen minutes, something I’m sure all those men in the family appreciated. Have a great year Hastin family. I really enjoyed meeting you. #jodistilpphotography […]
Our neighbors just had a baby. Sweet Harper is all sorts of darling, with her red hair, pretty eyes and big expressions. I loved hanging out with them for a little photo session after her arrival. They are the greatest family… loads of personality and just so fun. And how cute are their kiddos’ bedrooms? We’re so lucky to have […]
The Willette family photo session was an example of making it work when nothing goes as planned. We had to reschedule their original photo session because it was pouring rain. The rain storm knocked a ton of the fall leaves off the trees: a problem because their session was planned around a scenic, fall backdrop. I woke up the morning […]
The Nanson’s were some of my first clients. We’ve been doing the Fall Family Photo thing every year for six years. I can’t remember a year where the forecast cooperated with us, but somehow we always dodge a rain shower and are able to shoot their session as scheduled. I love seeing them every year and can’t get over how […]
The Byars family couldn’t remember how they heard about me or got my number, but we were pleasantly surprised at all the little commonalities and connections we had. I love how a very big world can be made small with just a few touch points. It was lovely to meet you all and I sure had fun at our session. […]
Josh and Emily are some of our Big’s. What’s a Big, you ask? A Big is a quasi-adopted adult child who has spent enough time with our family to graft themselves into it. We have five Original Big’s. They have all gone on to get married, adopt dogs, buy houses, and are starting to have babies. It’s pretty exciting to […]
The weather forecast for the Hall’s family photo session was rain showers and cold. We chatted about rescheduling, but Oregon fall weather is so unpredictable, so we decided to go for it. It was definitely not ideal conditions for a photo session with a toddler and a preschooler, but the Hall family were such troopers. Jason and Melissa came prepared […]
