The Wilmot’s have a hashtag for their Instagram posts that describes them perfectly: #thosewonderfulwilmots. I’m guessing it started as a joke because they are some of the most humble people I know, but it is the absolute best description of their family. Just ask anyone who knows them well…. Ryan and Mandee are some of the kindest, thoughtful, smart, creative, […]
The Buisman family won an Offering I donated to the Visible Grace auction. It was a blessing to meet them and photograph their darling family. Life with toddlers and babies is so moment to moment, hands on, snuggles, love, chasing, comforting, protecting, cajoling… It’s messy and lovely, exhausting and filled with big emotions. I’m removed enough from our Years in […]
These Jordans… they love each other and it radiates from them to the world around them. Our boys have played water polo together since they were in 6th grade so we’ve spent a lot of time shoulder to shoulder in hot, humid pools all over the Pacific Northwest. Down to earth, generous, and fun are some of the first words […]
My friend Nanci of Nanci Imagery is a talented photographer. We tentatively launched our businesses around the same time and thankfully had a Village that believed in us and our untapped talent. Over the years, we have honed our skills and developed our niches. Nanci loves the technicality and perfection of staged newborn photography and is INCREDIBLE at posing and […]
Is there anything more precious than a newborn babe? The fuzzy head. The tiny fingers and toes. Soft little ears. The noises they make as they nestle in. Goodness… They are such a gift. It was an honor to be invited into the Caruso’s home to document the addition of baby Theo – bringing their sweet family unit to a […]
The Laney’s hired me to take extended family portraits when they converged on Newberg for the holiday season. They traveled from all parts of the world to be together so it was pretty special that I got to be the one to document their time together. May God bless your family in this new year. #jodistilpphotography #familyportraits #extendedfamilyportraitsession #family #winterportraits […]
I met Vanessa when I took her professional head shot to accompany her new job. We hit it off and scheduled a family photo session, but as the session approached the weather wasn’t cooperating. Instead of force it, we chose to take our time. Mid-November was when I got to meet her beautiful family for their long-anticipated photo session. It […]
We met the Huchette’s because our daughters both play lacrosse. We FROZE our way through last spring’s cold and rainy (did we mention RAINY) season. It was so fun for me to take their family photos. I had to laugh at the weather the morning of their session. The forecast was clear skies and full sun. I drove from bright […]
I met Lisel at the gym years ago, but we bonded at the Mabel Rush Elementary School Spring Carnival. Our families sat at picnic tables eating cold hot dogs and talking about our shared love of the Chicago Cubs. They even named their dog Wrigley for Wrigley Field, where the Cubs play their home games. It’s been fun see each […]
The morning of the Booth’s photo session was unseasonably cold. Their little girls were such troopers and had fun exploring the park where we shot the session in spite of the cold. Hanging out with such a fun family was a great way to start a beautiful day. Merry Christmas Booth Family. #jodistilpphotography #familyportraits #fall #familyoffour SaveSave SaveSave
