Each time I sat down to work with these family photos, I mumbled, “OKAY CUTE!” at least once or twice. I mean… seriously. They are just so cute. And fun. And nice. Plus Grandma GG is total goals. Isn’t she stunning and fun with her pink hair and her awesome style? It was sunny but FREEZING and super windy, so […]
The Nanson family hired me my first year out as a newbie photographer. They put their trust in me, and have continued to hire me each year to document how their girls are growing. By now we all have the photo session down to a routine: get in, get out, get on your way. I love seeing them each year, […]
Carlee is a Class of 2021 senior at Sherwood High School. She plays volleyball, makes jewelry, and does other cool artistic things. Carlee is easy going and loads of fun. The morning of her session, we woke to dense fog. It was starting to dissipate, so we agreed to go forward with her session. As I was driving to Champoeg […]
Parts of 2020 felt like time stood still so it surprised me when the Hall’s called me for their yearly photo session. It really doesn’t feel like it’s been a year since we did their last one. Champoeg State Park is their favorite destination and this year we had much more pleasant weather to work with. I have loved watching […]
This sweet family has a new addition since I last photographed them, but we had the same chilly, foggy weather as their last session. At least we’re consistent! I love a mini-session for families with young kids. It’s designed to be quick and efficient, grabbing those smiles while they last. Aren’t they cute? #jodistilpphotography #familyportraits #familyoffive #fallportraits
Matt is a senior at Mountainside High School. Matt plays lacrosse and loves photography and art. He wanted an urban themed senior photo session with some sharp contrast in the final images. Matt’s mom was looking for scenic images with fall colors, and a couple of photos of mom and son together. His cute dog even made a cameo appearance. […]
I love the Simple Offering mini-session for my families who want a quick and easy solution to family portraits. The Hastin were so photogenic and easy to work with that they were in and out in fifteen minutes, something I’m sure all those men in the family appreciated. Have a great year Hastin family. I really enjoyed meeting you. #jodistilpphotography […]
The Nanson’s were some of my first clients. We’ve been doing the Fall Family Photo thing every year for six years. I can’t remember a year where the forecast cooperated with us, but somehow we always dodge a rain shower and are able to shoot their session as scheduled. I love seeing them every year and can’t get over how […]
The Byars family couldn’t remember how they heard about me or got my number, but we were pleasantly surprised at all the little commonalities and connections we had. I love how a very big world can be made small with just a few touch points. It was lovely to meet you all and I sure had fun at our session. […]
The weather forecast for the Hall’s family photo session was rain showers and cold. We chatted about rescheduling, but Oregon fall weather is so unpredictable, so we decided to go for it. It was definitely not ideal conditions for a photo session with a toddler and a preschooler, but the Hall family were such troopers. Jason and Melissa came prepared […]
