The Luthers have been our neighbors for ten years. An entire decade. Where does the time go?!?! Layla and I really got to know each other when I joined her Cascade Lakes Relay team. We raced together for two (or was it three?) years and had so much fun together. Layla is one of the kindest women I know. She’s […]
It’s hard to believe we’ve only known the Specter’s for a few years because our lives have become so intertwined. Our son works for them, tending their vines, pulling weeds, and any other Man Work that Winemaker Dave has for him. Grant loves the Shirt Optional dress code, sweating in the sun vs. an easier job indoors, and the flexible […]
There is something about these two brothers that just melts me. The way they interact with each, their mom and with me is so precious. And that full body hug that Fletcher gave me? Well that just made my day. Maybe my week. Last year little Win was not on the move. This year, he was all over the vineyard, […]
Another year… another session with the awesome Nanson family. We’ve got this Fall Family Photo Session thing dialed in. Thanks Nanson’s for trusting me to help tell your family’s story. It’s so fun to watch your girls grow up. They are beautiful. May God bless you and your family in the coming year. #jodistilpphotography #familyportraits #fall #familyoffive #tellyourstory
Nicole got my number from a friend and gave me a call. By the time we hung up, I felt like I had a new friend. It was so great to meet Nicole and her darling family at their photo session. It was one of the first days of fall that felt like fall… a little bit of fog, some […]
I’ve known the Faucher family for years. Recently they adopted the cutest puppy on the planet. And then they called me to tell me they had won a Simple Offering I donated to a local auction. They wanted to redeem it for family photos with the new pup. A new puppy and a fun family? LUCKY ME! The weather forecast […]
I met Vanessa when I took her professional head shot to accompany her new job. We hit it off and scheduled a family photo session, but as the session approached the weather wasn’t cooperating. Instead of force it, we chose to take our time. Mid-November was when I got to meet her beautiful family for their long-anticipated photo session. It […]
I met Lisel at the gym years ago, but we bonded at the Mabel Rush Elementary School Spring Carnival. Our families sat at picnic tables eating cold hot dogs and talking about our shared love of the Chicago Cubs. They even named their dog Wrigley for Wrigley Field, where the Cubs play their home games. It’s been fun see each […]
The morning of the Booth’s photo session was unseasonably cold. Their little girls were such troopers and had fun exploring the park where we shot the session in spite of the cold. Hanging out with such a fun family was a great way to start a beautiful day. Merry Christmas Booth Family. #jodistilpphotography #familyportraits #fall #familyoffour SaveSave SaveSave
The Miller twins are two. Two times two equals a ton of non-stop movement, big emotions, and fun. It’s so fun to see the world through a young explorer’s eyes: awe and wonder at things we take for granted. We could learn a little something from these precious kiddos. This year we added Grandma and Grandpa to the Crazy Party […]
