Every holiday season I get inquiries from clients wondering if I’m willing to shoot photo sessions in the days just before or just after Christmas. The answer is almost always “Yes.” Not because I particularly like peeling myself off the couch where I’m snuggled with my crew who are home on Christmas break, but because I understand just how special […]

Joe is a Class of 2023 senior. A talented artist, Joe is earning an Advanced Placement Art diploma from his high school, but plans to make a career in dermatology. Joe wanted an urban setting for his senior portraits that matched his artistic vibe. We had a beautiful winter day in Portland for his session and we were able to […]
My first time working with the Wolcott’s and they are such a sweet family. It was fun to grab some winter photos while their son was home on vacation. Have a great year! #jodistilpphotography #familyportraits #winterportraits
Kelly has been my Go To Girl since I moved to Newberg. She lived down the street from the house we rented for short-term housing. One afternoon of chatting and the kids playing sealed a friendship that has spanned more than 14 years, in spite of us moving across town five months later. Our boys are all still best friends. […]
I have been photographing the Williams family every year for at least 6 or 7 years. This year we chose to go back to the location of one of their first sessions and then we re-created several of the poses with their boys who have morphed from elementary school to high school and college young men. It was the worst […]
I met Peyton and Allyssa last fall for a Simple Offering (mini) session. They are both so sweet and easy to work with.

NINE years with the Nanson’s! I can hardly believe it and look how their beautiful girls have grown. Love you guys and so thankful you keep inviting me back. Have a great year! #jodistilpphotography #familyportraits
The Stewart Family photo session was held to celebrate Tom and Jeanne’s 50th wedding anniversary. What a beautiful gift these two have given to their children and extended family: a lasting love story of faithfulness and commitment to each other. I was so pleased to meet Tom and Jeanne and their awesome family. We had a beautiful fall day for […]
The Moebius Family was one of several families this year that decided to combine family portraits with their son’s senior portraits. We shot the family session first and then Eric and I took off to shoot his senior session while his family hung out. It worked out great for all involved and we got such fun portraits on an unexpectedly […]
Year 3 with the Brown family. A new headshot for Mark and the traditional family portrait groupings. We had the most beautiful fall afternoon for their photo session. It was such a gift. Their girls are the definition of delightful and so fun to chat with. I look forward to seeing them at the photo session and occasionally throughout the […]
