Troopers


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 […]

Macartney Family


Those Macartney’s are one cute family.  I mean seriously…  We had a perfect fall day for their session and a gorgeous location to grab some pretty family photos. Thank you for trusting me with these memories.  I had a great time. May God bless you in the coming year. #jodistilpphotography #familyportraits #familyoffive #fallportraits #oregonwinecountry

The Whole Family


I love it when my clients introduce me to more and more of their extended family.  I’ve been friends with Jenny and Nathan for years and been taking their photos for a few years.  Last year Jenny hired me to do extended family photos with her side of the family.  This fall it was Nathan’s family’s turn. We shot the […]

Those Wolf’s


Ah this Wolf family.  They just make me happy.  We’ve done three sessions together over the past five years and every session has been at a different family farm, all on the same road.  I love how ingrained their family is in their community and all the years they have given to farming and hard work.  Plus their kids are […]

BFF


Kelly was one of my first friends in Newberg.  Ten years ago we moved from the Chicago area and rented a house – sight unseen – in Newberg.  We were hard to miss with four little and loud kids, ranging in age from 2 to 7 years – and not a friend in sight.  Kelly lived down the street with […]

Adjusting


The Guidry’s are Our People.  We’ve only known them for six years, but our friendship was fast and immediate.  Cyndi and I went deep on our first lunch date and have been close friends ever since.  Our husbands also had an instant connection.  Then they moved to Newberg and were a mere two miles from our house.  ALL THE PRAISE […]

the Luthers


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 […]

Winemaker Dave and A New Car


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 […]

Little Brother


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


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
