Tate is a Class of 2022 senior at Sherwood High School. He loves to hang out with his friends and play pick up basketball, but his favorite hobby is lacrosse. And he’s good at it. Tate’s defense will most likely land him a position on a college lacrosse team. Which lucky team is still up in the air. I’m excited […]
I met Ruth at the gym when our our Littles were actually little. She is just delightful and we have many treasured memories of time spent running together. As our kids grew up, life took us in separate directions… our opportunities to connect became less frequent, but in a way, it makes the times we do see each other that […]
The Dutra’s were referred to me by a mutual friend, an honor I don’t take lightly. I loved meeting this sweet family. Their oldest son Devin is a senior at Westview High School. Like most guys his age, a big senior portrait session was not on his That Sounds Fun list, but of course his parents want some nice senior […]
Joseph is in the military and about to head back overseas for another tour of duty. THANK YOU for your service to our country. Thank you to your family who misses you every day that you are gone. Your sacrifice is not lost on me. It was a privilege to photograph this family before Joseph leaves again. We dodged […]
Gwen + Mike + Four Cool Kids = one really cool blended family. We shot their family photos on their farm on the first rainy day Oregon has seen in months. We thought we had dodged the rain showers, but as soon as I pulled into their driveway, it started raining again. We waited indoors for about 20 minutes then […]
Jordan is a class of 2021 senior at Newberg High School. I met his mom years ago at Outdoor School. We were both chaperoning for the week and got paired up as cabin moms – such a fun way to make a new friend. We’ve kept in touch over the years and it’s crazy to me that her oldest is […]
Ryan and Mandee are the type of people everyone wants as friends. They are solidly grounded in their faith which leads to a strong marriage, deep friendships, and patient, consistent parenting of their three awesome boys. We adore them. They make life look easy, even when it’s the farthest thing from easy. May the Lord continue to guide and lead […]
Mason is a class of 2021 senior at Newberg High School. He plays football and lacrosse, but lacrosse is his favorite. I’ve known Mason since he was in middle school. He is a good conversationalist, polite, thoughtful, loyal and kind. Mason works hard and looks for ways to help and serve others. His long-time girlfriend Sophia made a cameo appearance […]
This is the second time I’ve had the privilege of photographing the extended Johnson family. It’s crazy how much the kids grew and changed in a handful of years. Rain was not in the forecast for their session. And yet… we got everybody set up for the first photo and the skies unleashed. We ran for cover and contemplated our […]
This is Whitney. Isn’t she darling? We did a mini-session together this fall just because. Because 2020 has been a hard year and because stuff like this brings joy. What’s not to love about a darling kiddo smiling in the sunshine?!? Thanks for bring some sunshine and joy to my life Whitney. You’re amazing. #jodistilpphotography #minisession #portraits
