I first photographed the Varuska’s when their daughter’s were turning one. I was brand new in the photography world and they took a chance on me. In the past 8 years, I have photographed their family on a regular basis, watching their beautiful daughters grow up. We shot this year’s session on private farmland owned by their family. The setting […]
I met the Elder family because they were referred to me by a mutual friend. By the time I got off the phone with Kaila, I felt I had made a new friend. They are just straight up fun. And authentic. And easy to be around. It was HOT the morning of their session, but they were still down for […]
This was my third year photographing the Buisman family. Aren’t they darling? I just can’t get over how quickly their Littles are growing up and turning into adorable conversationalists. It’s crazy to me how bonds can be formed in an hour once a year, but I seriously love my clients and their sweet kiddos. Thanks for another fun year you […]
I love photographing my clients in locations that are important to them. The Shipman’s invited me to their home nestled in the heart of Chehalem Mountain. Situated in the middle of a rolling meadow surrounded by thick forest, it was such a great spot to photograph this awesome family and their pets. Have a great year Shipman family. I have […]
The Brown’s were referred to me by mutual friends, which is the highest compliment anyone can pay me. Turns out our worlds are very connected, and yet we had never met. I loved meeting them and their darling kiddos. And the lush green meadow was a fun spot for spring portraits. Thanks Brown family for a fun morning. May God […]
Aren’t these three cousins cute? They don’t live in the same state, which makes their time together even sweeter. We did a quick photo session over Spring Break and happened to get some pretty spring blooms along the way. #jodistilpphotography #cousins #familyportraits #springportraits
Mandy contacted me in the fall to ask about my availability to photograph their entire family around Christmas time. They were traveling in from different parts of the country and everything was pending COVID restrictions. Not to mention Oregon winters are notoriously rainy and not very scenic by late December. Thankfully we had a rainless morning (in the midst of […]
Another year with the Williams’ family makes me happy. Their obvious love for each other and the way they enjoy life makes them so fun to be around. Plus take one look at Rizzo, their dog. He’s the handsomest. We always have a good time, in spite of the fact that there are three men who would rather be doing […]
I’m so honored when a client hires me and then tells me, “We’ve never had professional family portraits taken” or “it’s been years since we’ve done professional portraits.” The Cannon family fell into that category, so it was pretty awesome to get some fun snaps of their family in the fun location they chose, in spite of the cold and […]
Lucas is a Class of 2021 senior at Newberg High School. Lucas is an avid outdoorsman, an athlete, and hard working. He wanted to have his senior session be a small reflection of the things he loves: the water, his dog, his family, and the fun urban-grunge part of his small town. Winter sessions in Oregon are always risky with […]
