The Brown’s were referred to me by mutual friends, which is the highest compliment anyone can pay me. Turns out our worlds are very connected, and yet we had never met. I loved meeting them and their darling kiddos. And the lush green meadow was a fun spot for spring portraits. Thanks Brown family for a fun morning. May God […]
Aren’t these three cousins cute? They don’t live in the same state, which makes their time together even sweeter. We did a quick photo session over Spring Break and happened to get some pretty spring blooms along the way. #jodistilpphotography #cousins #familyportraits #springportraits
Mandy contacted me in the fall to ask about my availability to photograph their entire family around Christmas time. They were traveling in from different parts of the country and everything was pending COVID restrictions. Not to mention Oregon winters are notoriously rainy and not very scenic by late December. Thankfully we had a rainless morning (in the midst of […]
I’m so honored when a client hires me and then tells me, “We’ve never had professional family portraits taken” or “it’s been years since we’ve done professional portraits.” The Cannon family fell into that category, so it was pretty awesome to get some fun snaps of their family in the fun location they chose, in spite of the cold and […]
Lucas is a Class of 2021 senior at Newberg High School. Lucas is an avid outdoorsman, an athlete, and hard working. He wanted to have his senior session be a small reflection of the things he loves: the water, his dog, his family, and the fun urban-grunge part of his small town. Winter sessions in Oregon are always risky with […]
Ryan and Mandee are the type of people everyone wants as friends. They are solidly grounded in their faith which leads to a strong marriage, deep friendships, and patient, consistent parenting of their three awesome boys. We adore them. They make life look easy, even when it’s the farthest thing from easy. May the Lord continue to guide and lead […]
This is the second time I’ve had the privilege of photographing the extended Johnson family. It’s crazy how much the kids grew and changed in a handful of years. Rain was not in the forecast for their session. And yet… we got everybody set up for the first photo and the skies unleashed. We ran for cover and contemplated our […]
Each time I sat down to work with these family photos, I mumbled, “OKAY CUTE!” at least once or twice. I mean… seriously. They are just so cute. And fun. And nice. Plus Grandma GG is total goals. Isn’t she stunning and fun with her pink hair and her awesome style? It was sunny but FREEZING and super windy, so […]
Heather and her kiddos were so excited for their family photo session. We had a gorgeous, sunny fall day for their session, and then… it started raining hard right as their session started. When there is hand-curled hair involved, you don’t do rainy portraits. What a bummer. We opted to switch to a location with covered spaces instead of […]
The Specter’s are another one of my OG families. They took a chance on me when I was a newbie photographer, then hired me back in spite of being forced indoors by a winter storm for their first photo session. Over the years since that first eventful session, my talent, their grapes, their daughter, and our friendship has grown. I’m […]
