The first time I photographed this sweet family they had one grandchild. A couple years later and their treasures have grown to three sweet grandchildren. It was COLD and rainy the day of their photo session, but the entire Carlough family just rolled with the bad weather and a few bouts of melancholy with the kiddos. I’m so pleased with […]
I had the privilege of photographing the Cruikshank extended family right after Thanksgiving while everyone was still in town. You can just tell when a family loves each other deeply. The hour we spent together was so fun. When Emma and Hannah were high school seniors I took their senior portraits. It was so fun to meet the rest of […]
I love shooting extended family photo sessions, especially around the holidays. Everyone gathering from their homes – usually someone from out of town – to celebrate being together and the love they share. It’s such an honor to be trusted with these sessions. This is the second time I’ve photographed the entire Mears family and they are just so fun. […]
Meet the Mansheim’s. They are a TON of fun and super easy to work with. It was storming the morning of the session but thankfully the wind and rain died down to a drizzle and then no rain right as their session started. Oregon’s fall colors were showing off and the family’s coordinated jewel tone outfits were the perfect compliment […]
Meet Gabrielle. Her Grandma. Her daughters. Her dogs. There’s not much Gabrielle does not manage or do. She’s a hard-working, funny, straight-shooting single momma who loves her people (and her pets) fiercely. The day of their family photo session it wasn’t exactly raining, but it was cloudy/foggy and the clouds were just kind of dripping. And it was not warm. […]
The Matthiesen kids were due for some family photos. Emma and Leesie are Class of 2024 twins so we focused mostly on twin photos of them together, but we also did some group shots with their younger brother Wyatt and took a few individuals as well. Such a fun fall session with really great kids! #jodistilpphotography #fallportraits #familyportraits #twins #threekids
I say it all the time but it’s seriously such a huge honor to be asked back year after year by my clients, especially when they start gifting their parents extended family photo sessions. This is my second time photographing the whole Brown family and it sure is fun seeing their families expand, their kids grow, and to watch them […]
Meet the Spotts family. First of all, how cool is the last name Spotts? Second they are some of the best people. Down to earth, authentic, kind, loads of fun… a family where their adult children and spouses all get along and enjoy each other and their parents.. plus all those darling grandchildren AND a cute puppy? Just too much […]
Every holiday season I get inquiries from clients wondering if I’m willing to shoot photo sessions in the days just before or just after Christmas. The answer is almost always “Yes.” Not because I particularly like peeling myself off the couch where I’m snuggled with my crew who are home on Christmas break, but because I understand just how special […]
