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 […]
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 […]
