The Busch Family will always be near and dear to my heart. I met Sandra in the pre-school drop off/pick up line when our now 8th graders were four years old. We had both – with no regrets – put careers on hold to raise our babies. As our kids got older and our days unfolded with more time, we […]
I love the fall because my families that I work with annually start calling to set up their family portrait sessions. For some of these families, this is the only time I get to see them each year. We try to hang with the Nanson’s a little more than during their yearly portrait session, but I at least know I […]
Gaironn is one of the most efficient people I’ve worked with and I LOVE efficiency! She knew when and where she wanted her photo session and had a clear vision for what she wanted to accomplish within the session. I loved meeting her and her darling sons. They were so cute and so sweet. She also happens to help operate […]
Meet the Specter Family: Dave, Sara, Naomi and Cupcake, the non-winery dog. They own Bells Up Winery in the beautiful foothills of Newberg. They are down to earth, fun, hard working, witty, and make incredible wine. My son works for Dave during the summer and on the occasional weekend when he doesn’t have water polo, swimming or golf. The Specter’s […]
This sweet family is new to Oregon from the Midwest. Their baby boy turned one recently and they hired me to take their first professional family portraits. What an honor. And isn’t their little guy adorable? Two days after their session, the leaves on that tree were all on the ground so we timed it perfectly to capture the brilliance […]
I love getting the beautiful Lawson family (including their adorable dog Chloe) in front of my camera. This year was no exception. We timed their session perfectly to capture the fall colors in Newberg and had fun playing in the leaves. Thank you Lawson family for another fun photo session. I sure do love you guys. #jodistilpphotography #familyportraits #fall #fallcolors […]
Tarin is a senior at Newberg High School. He competes in football and track, and has a really cool Jeep. We had a ton of fun shooting his senior session at the high school at at Champoeg State Park. Thanks for sharing your morning with me Tarin. May God bless you in your senior year. #jodistilpphotography #tellyourstory #classof2018 #newberghighschool #trackandfield […]
The Welker family recently moved from the Midwest to Oregon, something I can relate to since we did that nine years ago. It was fun to swap stories about adjusting to a new climate and culture and meet their darling family. Their little man is a Dude on a Mission. He does not like to sit still and and he […]
This fall I photographed the Cheung family for the third time. Each time we’ve hit snags actually getting to the photo session: weather and illness have sidelined us multiple times and this session was no exception. It was worth it to wait for decent weather and healthy kids though because their photos are some of my favorites from the fall […]
We met Nathan eight years ago when he was volunteering in the two year old classroom at our church. We appreciated his faithful service, gentle demeanor, and welcoming smile, especially on the Sundays when our reluctant, often tearful two-year-old would cling a little longer before heading into class. I remember when Nathan met Jenny. His already bright countenance got even brighter. He […]
