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 […]
Those Macartney’s are one cute family. I mean seriously… We had a perfect fall day for their session and a gorgeous location to grab some pretty family photos. Thank you for trusting me with these memories. I had a great time. May God bless you in the coming year. #jodistilpphotography #familyportraits #familyoffive #fallportraits #oregonwinecountry
The Sellke’s were overdue for family portraits and their daughter needed senior portraits. She didn’t want a fussy senior session so we combined a family photo session with some senior portraits. It was a win-win for everyone. What a great idea. Have the best year Annika! It was great to meet you and your family. #jodistilpphotography #seniorportraits #familyportraits #classof2020 #newberghighschool
I love it when my families ask me to photograph their extended family. What an honor to document the heritage, love and legacy of a family. Stephanie and I started the process of scheduling their multi-generation family photo session in early June and somehow managed to drag the process out all summer long. The photos were worth waiting for. They […]
Dude… SENIOR YEAR already. My have you grown and changed since I met you more than six years ago. Ethan, I love the man you are… and the one you’re becoming. Keep smiling. Keep working hard. Keep laughing. Keep pressing into Jesus. Your strength of mind and heart shows through in your character. Have the best senior year. Can’t wait […]
Madison is a senior at Centennial High School. She plays volleyball, is an actress and has a beautiful singing voice. We met in the stunning Columbia River Gorge for her senior session where she managed to fashionably incorporate a pair of pants that her mom wore in high school. How cool is that? Thank you Madison for a fun session. […]
The Donaldson’s were some of my first clients. Amber – a hair dresser – and I have been swapping services since we both were newbies learning our trade. Our initial work was stuff to be proud of, but I will say we have both honed our style and our skill over the past six years. It’s fun to continue to […]
For mother’s day, the Russell kids bought their mom a mini session. How sweet is that? To make it even better, it had been years since this awesome family had done professional portraits. They were long overdue and the timing was sentimental. This week Mackenzie heads off to her first year of college. So much emotion wrapped up in this […]
The Specter’s were some of my first clients, hiring me in my first year of being in business. They own Bells Up Winery, a boutique winery in Newberg. Sara is refreshingly genuine, hilarious and smart. Winemaker Dave is also quick witted and obviously smart because he makes award winning wine. Both are a little snarky. I loved them immediately. We […]
