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 […]
The Farmer’s were some of my first clients when I was just getting my business started which makes them extra special. Plus they are straight up awesome. Their boys are busy and fun, giggly and mischievous, and obviously adorable. So basically, they are irresistible. Thank you Kara and Brock for another fun session. It is so fun for me to […]
I photographed the Rogers family three years ago when their youngest son was an infant. It was so fun to meet up with them again update their family photos. Aren’t they adorable? The lighting in the barn made for some really cool black and white images. Thank you Rogers Family for another fun afternoon. May Jesus bless you in this coming […]
The M Family chose to shoot their photo session in their park-like backyard. We included their labradoodle Andes in the session. He was a good model. The kids had all kinds of good ideas for posing and locations which made this session a truly collaborative session. Thank you M family for a fun day. May Jesus bless you in the upcoming year. #fall #familyoffive […]
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 […]
The Horsford’s chose a Simple Offering. It’s my version of a mini-session: a thirty minute session and five high resolution digital images you choose from a private online photo gallery. Kelly knew just what she wanted and we were able to nail it all with five images: a head shot to use for her growing business, pictures of their beautiful girls and a family […]
I met Carrie at the gym when we first moved to Newberg. You know when you’re “new” somewhere it feels like EVERYONE knows each other except you? I felt that way at the gym, but Carrie and her friend Michele said “Hi” to me. They smiled. Made conversation. They helped me not feel like such a newbie. That was years ago. […]
