The biggest compliment I get as a photographer is when my clients refer me to their friends and family. It’s a gift I don’t take likely. Pat and her family were referred to me and I very much enjoyed meeting them. Such a great group of grandkids and grown children. Everyone was so cooperative and fun to work with. Plus […]
The Laney’s hired me to take extended family portraits when they converged on Newberg for the holiday season. They traveled from all parts of the world to be together so it was pretty special that I got to be the one to document their time together. May God bless your family in this new year. #jodistilpphotography #familyportraits #extendedfamilyportraitsession #family #winterportraits […]
My friend Jenny has been such an encouragement and support to my business. I love being the photographer she calls for special moments in her life. This fall I photographed her with her extended family. Her parents are big Oregon Ducks fans so we had fun switching into Ducks paraphernalia after the more traditional portraits. Merry Christmas Hagglund’s! #jodistilpphotography #familyportraits […]
I was so happy when Alicia called to book another Dickenson Family photo session. Our kids have grown up together and it’s fun to see them all morphing into mini-adults. Plus they are just straight up fun. They laugh freely and do a lot of joking around. Grandma Maggie earned the Grandma of the Year award when she let Grant […]
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 […]
October was the third rainiest October on record in Oregon’s history. It made shooting fall photo sessions really tricky. Thankfully we lucked out and had a dry and gorgeous morning at Champoeg State Park for our multi-generation family photo session that involved three sisters, their husbands, their children, and their mom. The six kiddos involved ranged in age from 5 years […]
I first photographed the Guidry family just before their twin sons went off to bootcamp in the Navy. Fast forward two years and I got to take their family photos again when the twins were home from their first deployment. What started as a Guidry Family photo session morphed into an extended family photo session with Cyndi and family, her […]
The Haikin family is delightful. I enjoyed every minute of our photo session at Champoeg State Park. Mr. and Mrs. Haikin had an earthy outdoor wedding and as a result have never really had professional photos taken. They just celebrated their 36th wedding anniversary. I’d say they were overdue… 36 years of daily choosing each other. 36 years of raising their children […]
Lindsay and I were on the same Hood to Coast team and have kept in touch over the years. I had the blessing of spending the afternoon with Lindsay, her husband, her parents, and both her grandmas. The love, friendship, and bond they all share is unique and enviable. Clearly this group knows how to love fiercely and deeply. My […]
When your family doesn’t all live locally, it’s a special day to get a photo with all the grandkids together at once. Unfortunately the reason for their gathering was a death in the family. So sorry for your loss Seaman family. May God bring comfort to you as you grieve and may these pictures remind you of the obvious love […]
