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 […]
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 […]
The Paulson’s hired me in late November to take their family portraits in mid-December. And then Snowpocalypse happened. So we rescheduled into Oregon’s rainiest winter on record. And re-scheduled. And re-scheduled. Then wised up and waited until July because July is 99% sunny in Oregon. We had a beautiful evening for their photo session – well worth the wait to […]
I met Ashley through running. (We’re in the same van on our Hood to Coast team so our friendship went deep immediately cause we lived out of a van together for 24 hours.) It’s no surprise that Ashley is Ah-Maz-INg. Smart, driven, compassionate with a quick wit, Ashley excels at everything she sets her mind to. Running? Oh she’s fast. […]
Photographing this darling family reminded me of how fun toddlers and preschoolers are. Busy, curious, always learning, always asking questions, fluctuating emotions… the world is still so fresh and new. I loved my time with this adorable family. #jodistilpphotography #tellyourstory #familyportraits #toddlers #preschoolers #familyoffour
My kids don’t love having their portraits taken, but when it snowed hard in the valley (a rare treat) I begged them to give me thirty minutes to snap a few images of them. I’m so happy they complied. I love how the images turned out. And I love my babies. They are growing so fast. […]
The providers (doctors and Physician Assistants) at Orthopedic Northwest in Tualatin are kind, funny, and smart. It was a privilege to photograph them individually and in groups. If you live locally and need a good orthopedic doc or PA, look them up. #orthopedicsurgeons #contemporarycorporate #professionalheadshots
Claire is graduating from nursing school at the top of her class. She is smart and kind – just the combo you want for a nurse. Congratulations Claire! #nursingschool #nursegraduate #collegegrad #nursingschool
Cindy and John celebrated 40 years of marriage this year. What a legacy to leave their children and grandchildren. I had the privilege of photographing Cindy and John, along with their two sons and their families to commemorate this milestone. The morning of their session was abnormally cold for the Willamette Valley, with temps in the mid twenties, but incredibly […]
McKenna’s “little” brother has been good friends with my son since we moved to Newberg more than eight years ago. The family resemblance is strong! I’m so used to relating to McKenna’s family via Raleigh and water polo that it was strange and super fun to spend time with McKenna and her mom doing something unrelated to water polo. McKenna […]
