I met the Morgan family for the first time this year and they were so fun to work with. They opted for a mini-session (Simple Offering) at the winery where Gabi works. It was short, sweet, and fun. What else can you want from family portraits? Have a great year Morgan’s! #jodistilpphotography #portraits #familyportraits #fallportraits
It was great to reconnect with the Byars family after a couple of years apart. Jonah is now a senior at Lincoln High School so we did a family mini-session and then Jonah and I took off to shoot his senior portrait session. We had a beautiful fall morning to work with and Portland was showing off! Thank you Byars […]
I met the DeMaster Smith for the first time this year and it was such a pleasure. We shot their family session in their insanely beautiful back yard which made these photos even more special. Everywhere I looked was a feast for the eyes and the hours of tender loving care were obvious. Thanks for asking me to take your […]
Another year with the Hall family. So surreal to think I started photographing them when Eleanor was a baby. I look forward to this session every year. Amazing people with so much love for each other and the world. Also bonus to Melissa and Jason for randomly breaking out in the EXACT same song from a musical based on one […]
Teachers: Unappreciated. Underpaid. Influencers. World Changers. A gift from God. We all can tell stories with specific details of how a teacher or a coach impacted our lives. Jessica Hawney is one of the greatest teachers we’ve met. Jessica SEES greatness in kids. She SEES past their imperfections, past their road blocks, past their resistance to WHO they actually are […]
The Warford’s own Bellivadum Vineyards. They also have three darling kiddos and I got to photograph their family in their vineyard. The blocks of grapes are named after each child. They loved showing me their grapes and made sure I got a photo of them by their vines. We also took photos playing chase, football, and “cheers-ing” to to celebrate […]
I’ve known the Bizeau family for over 14 years and have photographed them several times in that time frame. We shot their session on their family’s property, which makes their photos so personal. And look at that beautiful light! Thank you Bizeau’s for your continuing friendship and for trusting me to capture your beautiful family. May God bless you in […]
Nanci is a colleague of mine. We frequently swap family photo sessions. It was my turn to photograph her family and she chose the field behind their house as the location. Not because it’s overly scenic but because their family has spent hours together making memories there. Some day that field will have houses on it and they’ll always have […]
The Harris Family have been clients of mine for several years, but this is the first time I had the privilege of photographing their entire family. We did a quick Simple Offering, after their son Drew’s senior session. They were done in under 20 minutes and got these keepsake photos of their family – including their Fur Baby – to […]
When our kids were younger we called Grant and Katie “The Big’s” and Alli and Paige “The Little’s.” Grant and Katie have both flown the nest, choosing universities 1,000 miles away from home. This summer Grant worked an engineering internship in SoCal and Katie worked a retail internship in upstate New York. Both of them were only home for a […]
