Mandy contacted me in the fall to ask about my availability to photograph their entire family around Christmas time. They were traveling in from different parts of the country and everything was pending COVID restrictions. Not to mention Oregon winters are notoriously rainy and not very scenic by late December. Thankfully we had a rainless morning (in the midst of […]
This is the second time I’ve had the privilege of photographing the extended Johnson family. It’s crazy how much the kids grew and changed in a handful of years. Rain was not in the forecast for their session. And yet… we got everybody set up for the first photo and the skies unleashed. We ran for cover and contemplated our […]
Each time I sat down to work with these family photos, I mumbled, “OKAY CUTE!” at least once or twice. I mean… seriously. They are just so cute. And fun. And nice. Plus Grandma GG is total goals. Isn’t she stunning and fun with her pink hair and her awesome style? It was sunny but FREEZING and super windy, so […]
A few years ago, I got to photograph my friend Jarae’s extended family on her side. This summer, I got to photograph Jarae’s hubby’s side of the family. Aren’t they cute? Thanks for trusting me with your family photos. I sure do love you guys! #jodistilpphotography #familyportraits #extendedfamilyportraits
I love it when my families ask me to photograph their extended family. What an honor to document the heritage, love and legacy of a family. Stephanie and I started the process of scheduling their multi-generation family photo session in early June and somehow managed to drag the process out all summer long. The photos were worth waiting for. They […]
The Sturgis family is full of joy. It’s what I noticed right away when I met them and their laughter, joy and love for each other carried throughout their entire photo session. Family is such a gift. I was so blessed to work with this family who clearly understood and treasured the gift of each other. Thank you Sturgis family […]
One winter Friday, my friend Natasha texted me inquiring about purchasing a gift certificate for an extended family portrait session. Her entire family was in town, their photographer had cancelled unexpectedly and this was supposed to be a 70th birthday present for their Dad. I am seldom available last minute on the weekends, but I just “happened” to be wide […]
I love it when my clients introduce me to more and more of their extended family. I’ve been friends with Jenny and Nathan for years and been taking their photos for a few years. Last year Jenny hired me to do extended family photos with her side of the family. This fall it was Nathan’s family’s turn. We shot the […]
The Guidry’s are Our People. We’ve only known them for six years, but our friendship was fast and immediate. Cyndi and I went deep on our first lunch date and have been close friends ever since. Our husbands also had an instant connection. Then they moved to Newberg and were a mere two miles from our house. ALL THE PRAISE […]
I have been photographing Nicole and her family since her babes were newborns. This session was special because we included Nicole’s grandma. Four generations of family and love were represented. Aren’t they cute? And don’t the ladies do a good job coordinating outfits and details? I’m always so impressed. Thank you for a fun time together – again. I’m already […]
