Jacob is a Class of 2022 senior at Newberg High School. He plays basketball and likes to hang out with his friends. Our original plan for Jacob’s photo session was to go out to Champoeg State Park so we could get some rustic/woods photos, but it was raining non-stop the entire week of Jacob’s photo session with the exception of […]
The Farmer’s were some of OG clients. One of their childhood friends took a chance on me and hired me at student pricing while I was building my portfolio and deciding if I was any good at portraits. They passed my name on to their friend group and several of them hired me. The best part of this – beside […]
When Michael contacted me and asked me to to photograph his proposal to Lauren I almost said no. I’ve never photographed a proposal before and I got all sorts of nervous. What if I screwed it up? It’s not like I can go back and ask for a re-do. And I also don’t get many opportunities to photograph newly-in-love couples. […]
We’ve been trying to find a dry patch of 15 minutes to photograph these cute sisters. The last three weeks of non-stop rain have been tricky for outdoor photography, but after rescheduling twice, we finally grabbed a morning where it was drizzling but not pouring and shot their session under cover. It was great to meet Allyssa and Peyton and […]
The Nanson’s hired me my first year in business when I was still offering student pricing and basically learning how to take portraits on paying customers. Thankfully they came back the next year. And the next year. This year makes EIGHT years that I have photographed their family. We’re all very comfortable around each other and secure in the expectations […]
I met Ruth at the gym when our our Littles were actually little. She is just delightful and we have many treasured memories of time spent running together. As our kids grew up, life took us in separate directions… our opportunities to connect became less frequent, but in a way, it makes the times we do see each other that […]
The Dutra’s were referred to me by a mutual friend, an honor I don’t take lightly. I loved meeting this sweet family. Their oldest son Devin is a senior at Westview High School. Like most guys his age, a big senior portrait session was not on his That Sounds Fun list, but of course his parents want some nice senior […]
I’ve been photographing Maisie and her sweet parents since she was in utero. I can’t believe she’s almost two already and talking up a storm. Plus the sweetest disposition. I look forward to my hour with the sweet family every year. Have a great year you guys. Thanks for being so awesome. #jodistilpphotography #familyportraits #familyofthree
Joseph is in the military and about to head back overseas for another tour of duty. THANK YOU for your service to our country. Thank you to your family who misses you every day that you are gone. Your sacrifice is not lost on me. It was a privilege to photograph this family before Joseph leaves again. We dodged […]
Gwen + Mike + Four Cool Kids = one really cool blended family. We shot their family photos on their farm on the first rainy day Oregon has seen in months. We thought we had dodged the rain showers, but as soon as I pulled into their driveway, it started raining again. We waited indoors for about 20 minutes then […]
