the Hall’s


Another year with the Hall family and that always makes me happy.  I love their tradition of taking their annual photos around the same time each year at the same state park, but sometimes we change the location within the park.  It creates a synonymous long-term storyline of their kids growing up.  Thanks for another fun morning Hall family. I […]

the Lind’s


The Lind’s needed updated family photos, but a greater need was senior portraits for their daughter Hayden, a Class of 2025 senior at Westside Christian High School.  We brainstormed different options and settled on a mini family photo session first.  Once that was done, non crucial family members were dismissed and we shifted the focus to Hayden.  She had a […]

the Staley’s


Nanci is a local photographer.  We both started our businesses around the same time which gave us an immediate connecting point.  We refer clients to each other, photograph each other’s families, collab on business ideas, and have built a fun friendship.  We updated their family photos in September on a strangely sunny fall evening.  Since Nanci is always behind the […]

the Arnold’s


I met the Arnold family because their friend referred them to me.  And MAN!  It was SO WORTH modifying my availability to accommodate this session.  All their adult children were in town at the same time.  They all like each other.  They laugh freely.  And are so much fun.  What a great way to spend an evening.  Have a great […]

Year 11 with the Specter’s


I have been photographing the Specter’s since I started my business.  We’re all getting older, hopefully wiser, and Naomi gets prettier every year.  Such a joy to know I get to see you guys at least once a year.  Thanks for a fun evening and letting me taste your delicious wine! #jodistilpphotography #bellsupwinery #familyportraits #oregonwinecountry

Photos when Grandma and Grandpa are in Town


This sweet family purchased a mini-session that I donated to a local auction.  They waited to use their voucher until Grandma and Grandpa came to town and then we grabbed quick photos of all the basic groupings.  Aren’t they sweet?    #jodistilpphotography #familyportraits #extendedfamilyportraits

Harris Family


Once your kids start heading off to college, family portraits take on new meaning.  Time together truly becomes a gift… and something you want to capture.  I love that we squeezed in a quick family mini-session  for the Harris’ before Drew heads back to college and that Audrey got a senior portrait with her pup.  Have a great year Drew. […]

Ali and the Jensen Family


Ali is a Class of 2025 senior at McMinnville High School.  I met the Jensen family through youth basketball when Ali and Emily were still in elementary school. We’ve stayed in touch over the years and competed against each other for years in the friendly Newberg vs. Mac rivalry.  It was so fun to be asked to take Ali’s senior […]

the Call’s


The Call Family has had a big year.  Momma Andrea just graduated from nursing school!  What a massive accomplishment to go back to school after raising five children to adulthood and being an active and involved grandma. I’m just so impressed.  Their youngest son Nathan also graduated from high school… as one of the class Valedictorian’s meaning he earned a […]

Another Year with the Farmer’s


I have been photographing the Farmer family since their youngest son was in utero.  Literally such a gift to document their family as their awesome sons grow up.  We had access to private farmland for their photo session and the clover was in full bloom.  We also did a mini-session for Kara so she could update her headshots.  It was […]
