Tarin


Tarin is a senior at Newberg High School.  He competes in football and track, and has a really cool Jeep.  We had a ton of fun shooting his senior session at the high school at at Champoeg State Park.  Thanks for sharing your morning with me Tarin.  May God bless you in your senior year. #jodistilpphotography #tellyourstory #classof2018 #newberghighschool #trackandfield […]

Welcome to Oregon!


The Welker family recently moved from the Midwest to Oregon, something I can relate to since we did that nine years ago.  It was fun to swap stories about adjusting to a new climate and culture and meet their darling family.  Their little man is a Dude on a Mission.  He does not like to sit still and and he […]

Andrew


Andrew, a senior at Sherwood High School, impressed me with his quick wit and the kindness and respect he showed to his mom and to his girlfriend.  Both of these important women in his life joined him for a couple of photos during his senior session which was really special.  Have a great senior year Andrew.    #jodistilpphotography #classof2018 #sherwoodhighschool […]

Three Already


I met the Lindell family when their twins were about to turn one and they needed first birthday photos.  Two years and two more photo sessions later, their darling kiddos are three.  It is such an honor for me to help tell my clients’ stories through photographs and watch their families grow up. We shot their session at Brooks Wine, […]

the Frey’s (again)


Look who I got to photograph for the third year in a row?  I think they get cuter each year.  Thanks for another fun session Frey Family.  We love you guys. #jodistilpphotography #familyportraits #family #portraits #familyofsix

Carissa


Carissa is one of my dearest friends.  We both uprooted our families and settled in the Portland metro area more than nine years ago.  We really should never have met, but God knew we needed each other.  We live forty minutes from each other in different areas of the Portland suburbs, but ended up choosing the same large church and […]

Lindalynn


Lindalynn loves the town she grew up in, reading and playing her antique clarinet.  It was fun to incorporate these passions into her senior session.  Thanks for playing your clarinet for me Lindalynn… you play so beautifully. May Jesus bless you in your senior year. #jodistilpphotography #seniorportraits #sherwoodhighschool #classof2018 #clarinet #reading #tellyourstory

Devin


Devin is a senior at Clackamas High School and a football player.  He chose Crown Point in the Columbia River Gorge as the starting point for his senior session.  We explored the area around the Vista House then dropped down into the gorge and hiked/took photos on the trail by Latourell Falls.  He could not have chosen a more beautiful, […]

the Kersjes’


Milly was one of my first friends in Newberg.  I was herding my crew of Little People (ages 7,6, 4, and 2) through the pre-school parking lot to register my 4 year old for school when she stepped out of her car.  Elegant and sophisticated to my haggard and tired, Milly introduced herself with her beautiful Serbian accent and told […]

the Schlachter’s


Ruth and I met at the gym shortly after my family moved to Newberg.  She was always friendly and ready with a smile.  We both loved running, but our schedules didn’t match up to run together for years.  Finally we were able to go on a run together and it was a LONG one… Ruth joined me for 18 of […]
