Maddy


Maddy is a soon-to-be graduate from Oregon State University.  We squeezed in a quick Simple Offering when she was home so her parents could have some updated portraits to celebrate her big accomplishment.  Isn’t she cute?  Her fun personality comes through in the images.  Congratulations Maddy!  Good luck in your next adventure. #collegegrad #oregonstateuniversity #graduationphotos #portraits #jodistilpphotography #tellyourstory

Carter


Carter is a senior at Newberg High School.  We managed to squeeze his session in just before the yearbook deadline.  It was a chilly but beautiful morning.  The Simple Offering is a great option for my senior guys.  They can be done in thirty minutes and they still get a minimum of five digital images to call their own.  Have […]

A Class Act


Tyler is the captain of Newberg High School’s water polo team, leading his team to three consecutive Oregon 6A state championships.  He’s also the best 6A water polo in the state of Oregon… voted MVP in the state two years in a row.  Oh and did I mention that he’s one of Newberg High School’s fastest swimmers?  I’m happy to sing his […]

Snow in the Valley


It’s a rare winter that the Willamette Valley gets enough snow that it accumulates enough to cover the grass and cold enough that it sticks around for a few days.  This winter the valley got blasted by five separate storms over the course of a couple of weeks.  The result?  We got snow that stuck for days, beautiful sunshine, blue skies, and […]

McKenna


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 […]

Chey


Chey moved from New York to Oregon the summer before her senior year of high school.  How brave is that?  She’s finishing her high school career at Sprague High School and already making a bunch of friends.  It was such a pleasure to meet her and her mom.  She chose Champoeg State Park for the session location because she loves […]

Nate


Nate is a senior at Newberg High School.  He didn’t want a big, long senior session, but he did want some cool senior portraits.  The Simple Offering was perfect for him.  We did a quick 30 minute photo session.  He had enough time to change once and still use several different backgrounds.  His five images capture who he is and tell his […]

Kaleigh


Kaleigh is a delightful and fun senior (and volleyball player) at McMinnville High School. We had a bright, sunshiny morning for her senior session.  We travelled to three different local vineyards to complete her senior photo session and had a ton of fun along the way. May God bless you in your senior year and beyond Kaleigh. #seniorportraits #tellyourstory #mcminnvillehighschool […]

Matt


I’ve watched Matt grow up.  It’s crazy to me that he’s a senior now and isn’t he handsome?  Those freckles, blue eyes, and big smile… Matt always knows how to make me laugh with his mischievous smile and antics. He’s athletic, fun, and a total dare devil.  Matt plays football, wrestles, and runs track.  By the end of this year, he’ll […]

Abraham


Abraham is a senior at McMinnville High School.  I met him at a lovely vineyard in the rolling countryside outside of Amity for his senior session.   Abraham’s German shepherd puppy joined us for the last part of his session.  Have a great senior year Abraham.
