Meet the Specter Family: Dave, Sara, Naomi and Cupcake, the non-winery dog. They own Bells Up Winery in the beautiful foothills of Newberg. They are down to earth, fun, hard working, witty, and make incredible wine. My son works for Dave during the summer and on the occasional weekend when he doesn’t have water polo, swimming or golf. The Specter’s […]
This sweet family is new to Oregon from the Midwest. Their baby boy turned one recently and they hired me to take their first professional family portraits. What an honor. And isn’t their little guy adorable? Two days after their session, the leaves on that tree were all on the ground so we timed it perfectly to capture the brilliance […]
I love getting the beautiful Lawson family (including their adorable dog Chloe) in front of my camera. This year was no exception. We timed their session perfectly to capture the fall colors in Newberg and had fun playing in the leaves. Thank you Lawson family for another fun photo session. I sure do love you guys. #jodistilpphotography #familyportraits #fall #fallcolors […]
The Welker family recently moved from the Midwest to Oregon, something I can relate to since we did that nine years ago. It was fun to swap stories about adjusting to a new climate and culture and meet their darling family. Their little man is a Dude on a Mission. He does not like to sit still and and he […]
I met the Lindell family when their twins were about to turn one and they needed first birthday photos. Two years and two more photo sessions later, their darling kiddos are three. It is such an honor for me to help tell my clients’ stories through photographs and watch their families grow up. We shot their session at Brooks Wine, […]
Look who I got to photograph for the third year in a row? I think they get cuter each year. Thanks for another fun session Frey Family. We love you guys. #jodistilpphotography #familyportraits #family #portraits #familyofsix
Milly was one of my first friends in Newberg. I was herding my crew of Little People (ages 7,6, 4, and 2) through the pre-school parking lot to register my 4 year old for school when she stepped out of her car. Elegant and sophisticated to my haggard and tired, Milly introduced herself with her beautiful Serbian accent and told […]
Ruth and I met at the gym shortly after my family moved to Newberg. She was always friendly and ready with a smile. We both loved running, but our schedules didn’t match up to run together for years. Finally we were able to go on a run together and it was a LONG one… Ruth joined me for 18 of […]
The Paulson’s hired me in late November to take their family portraits in mid-December. And then Snowpocalypse happened. So we rescheduled into Oregon’s rainiest winter on record. And re-scheduled. And re-scheduled. Then wised up and waited until July because July is 99% sunny in Oregon. We had a beautiful evening for their photo session – well worth the wait to […]
I met Ashley through running. (We’re in the same van on our Hood to Coast team so our friendship went deep immediately cause we lived out of a van together for 24 hours.) It’s no surprise that Ashley is Ah-Maz-INg. Smart, driven, compassionate with a quick wit, Ashley excels at everything she sets her mind to. Running? Oh she’s fast. […]
