I met Sydney when she was in early elementary school. It’s hard to wrap my head around the fact that she is now a high school graduate and headed to Linfield College to study nursing in the fall. WELL DONE Sydney! May God continue to lead you in this next chapter of your life. #jodistilpphotography #seniorportraits #classof2020 #capandgownphotos
I love it when I have a high school senior contact me for winter portraits. Even though it’s barren, there are still pockets of beauty, and winter portraits just feel more unique. Liam wanted a mini session with an outdoorsy feel. We got lucky with the weather – a pocket of dry sandwiched in between days and days of rain […]
Matt is a senior at Mountainside High School. Matt plays lacrosse and loves photography and art. He wanted an urban themed senior photo session with some sharp contrast in the final images. Matt’s mom was looking for scenic images with fall colors, and a couple of photos of mom and son together. His cute dog even made a cameo appearance. […]
Grady is a senior at Southridge High School. He plays water polo and swims, loves his labradoodle Ace, is a huge Timbers fan, enjoys spending time with his girlfriend, and is deciding between a career in engineering or business. Grady wanted three backdrops for his senior portrait session: water, urban, and forest. We were able to get all of it […]
Ben is the coolest kid. A senior at McMinnville High School, he spent the last year of his life studying abroad in South America through a Rotary scholarship. He now speaks fluent Spanish and has broad cultural experience that he plans to use in his future career flying airplanes for humanitarian relief. I mean c’mon! How cool is that? Ben […]
Kyler and Grace are two of the kindest, polite, and thoughtful high schoolers I have ever worked with. Early into their session, Kyler very sincerely paused and asked me, “How has your day been today? What have you been up to?” I was momentarily speechless. High school boys just don’t ask me how I’m doing. Grace was just the same. […]
Katie is my favorite senior of 2020. Duh. She’s my daughter. Isn’t she lovely? We broke her senior portraits into three sessions: a mini-session in the middle of a hike, a full session the following night once we worked out our kinks, and a sports-themed mini session with her best friend Morgan. It’s crazy to me that we are on […]
My daughter Katie and her best friend Morgan play soccer together at Newberg High School. They wanted soccer related senior portraits, individually and together, so we decided to shoot a separate sports mini-session, outside of their senior portrait sessions. It was a very bright day and our time on the field before the football players came out to practice was […]
Justine is a senior at Newberg High School and one of my daughter’s friends. She has a beautiful soul, and is thoughtful and kind. It was so fun to take Justine’s senior portraits. We had a crisp, sunny fall day for her session in the vineyard. Have the best senior year Justine. I look forward to seeing the places you’ll […]
Kelvin’s mom Jarae and I are running partners which means we have spent hours over hundreds of miles talking about and praying for each other’s families. I feel like her kids are part of my crew even though I’ve spent very little face to face time with them. Kel is one dynamic young man. He is loyal. Hard working. Dedicated. […]
