13 Years


I photographed the Varuska’s for the first time with their twins turned 1.  They are 13 now and it is so fun to watch them grow up before my eyes.  Some of my OG clients, they will always hold a special place in my heart.  So great to see you all again.  Have an awesome year. #jodistilpphotography #familyportraits #fallportraits

Year Two


Year two with the Pohlschneider Family and man do I look forward to time with this crew.  They are so fun, mischievous and adorable – living  life with joy and enthusiasm.  What a treat to photograph them on their homestead where this beautiful life is lived out each day.  Thanks for inviting me to step into it for an evening. […]

Team Davies


Another year with Team Davies.  I adore these people SO much and can’t believe the twins are in real school and learning two languages.  Time slow down please!  Matt and Sarai – you are doing such a great job.  I love your marriage, your parenting, your kids.  Well done! #jodistilpphotography #familyportraits #familyoffour

Year 11


Last week I photographed the Hall family for the 11th year in a row.  When we started working together their oldest daughter was not even walking.. now she’s in middle school.  I don’t think I’ll ever get over the honor of documenting “my” families as they grow and change.  It truly is a joy.  Love you Hall family.  May the […]

Wills Family


I photographed the Wills Family a handful of years ago when their kids were lil babes. It was so fun to reconnect and photograph them now – in the thick of late elementary school.  It truly is crazy how quickly kids change from year to year.  Thanks Wills Family for a great evening and your fun photo ideas.  Have a […]

Micah + Family


Micah is a Class of 2027 senior at McMinnville High School.  He wanted low-key senior portraits so we combined his senior photo session with a family mini-session.  We had a gorgeous fall morning to work with – All The Pretty Light – and captured some great shots of the family and of Micah.  Simple and easy.  So fun to meet […]

the Nienaber’s


I met the Nienaber’s earlier this year when I took Noah’s senior portraits.  After Noah’s session, his Mom hired me to photograph their family on their property later in the fall. The forecast all week was rain and then all of a sudden… the sun came out and we had the most beautiful Saturday afternoon to work with.  I love […]

FOGGY and Gorgeous


It was a foggy, moody beautiful late fall morning when I photographed the Nanson family for the 13th year in a row!  It’s such a privilege to be trusted to keep photographing their family year after year and their girls get more beautiful by the day! We’ve done this so many time that we’re like a well oiled machine.  I […]

Portraits in a Bar


It’s a Saturday morning in November.  25 people from all over the metro area have gotten up early, fixed their hair,  put on their fancy clothes, and headed to the family farm for an 8:30 a.m. multi-generation family photo session.   8:30 a.m. on a Saturday!  The weather is NOT playing nicely with others. It’s dumping rain with heavy winds […]

the White’s


The White’s were referred to me by a mutual friend.  It was so fun to meet them and their adorable pup and son.  We did a Simple Offering – short and sweet – and captured some sweet moments in this fun season of their life.  Thank you White family for reaching out.  I loved working with you.  May God bless […]
