Another Year with the Busiman’s


It’s such a treat for me to photograph a family again and again.  I get to watch their children grow up in these snapshot moments in time.  I started photographing the Buisman family when their youngest wasn’t even walking and now look at them!!!!  They just keep getting cuter and cuter.  One of my fav things about working with this […]

the Duggan’s


The Duggan’s were our cul-de-sac neighbors for years until they moved out to the country.  We’ve staying in touch and I can’t believe their oldest son – who was a toddler when we met – is headed off to college.  We shot a quick family session on their property before Dax launches this next chapter of his life.  Much love […]

the Paxton’s


It was so fun to meet the Paxton Family, especially when we realized how many crossover connections we had.  They were referred to me by a client (THANK YOU EVERYONE FOR REFERRING YOUR FRIENDS) but then we realized we had connections universities in Southern California, the churches we’ve served in and been part of, and even at George Fox University […]

the Smith’s


Meet the Smith’s… some of the best people you’ll know.  The boys do not like getting their photos taken but I torture them every handful of years because they’re so cute and we need to document it.  LOVE YOU Smith Crew.  Thanks for letting me subject you to another round of photos. #jodistilpphotography #familyportraits #summerpiortraits

Garden Oasis


When your backyard is a garden oasis with intentionally curated spaces of beauty and relaxation you shoot your family photo session THERE.  This is the second time the DeMaster Smith family has invited me into their beautiful space to photograph their family.  Each time I’m in awe of how tranquil and lovely it is.. a true act of love and […]

In the Poppies


The Specter’s were some of my OG clients… hiring me my first year out when I was building a portfolio and doing student pricing.  More than 12 sessions later, I’m honored to still be their person for all things portrait related.  They own Bells Up Winery and we typically photograph them in their vineyard, but this year we went all […]

the Robertson’s


I met Molly playing pickleball.  We were both new to the game.  She was catching on SUPER fast.  I was not.  Like how can a game that looks so easy be so hard?  Anyway, we both like to laugh and have a hard time staying focused for long periods of time so we bonded over these things and formed a […]

And Baby Makes Five


And baby makes five… welcome to this world little Aliyah.  You are already so dearly loved and much anticipated.  I can’t wait to watch you grow. #jodistilpphotography #newbornphotography #familyportraits #familyoffive

Another Year…


The Williams Family is one of my favs… every year we pick a place in the neighborhood to do a quick family photo session.  Every year, they bring their awesome family and their dogs.  We’ve been re-creating the boys on piggy back since they were little groms.  Hard to believe Owie is a senior in high school now. (Insert crying […]

A Great Gift Idea


Elisha contacted me last December about getting a photo session gift certificate for her Mom and Dad.  It’s such a great gift idea and I was happy to oblige.  They opted to wait until late fall to redeem their session because a sweet new addition needed to be included.  It was so great to meet this beautiful family and commemorate […]
