the Lawson’s


I love getting the beautiful Lawson family (including their adorable dog Chloe) in front of my camera.  This year was no exception.  We timed their session perfectly to capture the fall colors in Newberg and had fun playing in the leaves.  Thank you Lawson family for another fun photo session.  I sure do love you guys. #jodistilpphotography #familyportraits #fall #fallcolors […]

Welcome to Oregon!


The Welker family recently moved from the Midwest to Oregon, something I can relate to since we did that nine years ago.  It was fun to swap stories about adjusting to a new climate and culture and meet their darling family.  Their little man is a Dude on a Mission.  He does not like to sit still and and he […]

Three Already


I met the Lindell family when their twins were about to turn one and they needed first birthday photos.  Two years and two more photo sessions later, their darling kiddos are three.  It is such an honor for me to help tell my clients’ stories through photographs and watch their families grow up. We shot their session at Brooks Wine, […]

the Frey’s (again)


Look who I got to photograph for the third year in a row?  I think they get cuter each year.  Thanks for another fun session Frey Family.  We love you guys. #jodistilpphotography #familyportraits #family #portraits #familyofsix

And Then There were Four


Melissa and Jason were the highest bidders on a photo session I donated to Visible Grace.  They saved their session and redeemed it when their beautiful daughter Lillian was born.  Jason and Melissa are so easy to work with.  They had a clear vision of what they wanted to accomplish in the session. It was fun to work together to […]

the Kersjes’


Milly was one of my first friends in Newberg.  I was herding my crew of Little People (ages 7,6, 4, and 2) through the pre-school parking lot to register my 4 year old for school when she stepped out of her car.  Elegant and sophisticated to my haggard and tired, Milly introduced herself with her beautiful Serbian accent and told […]

the Schlachter’s


Ruth and I met at the gym shortly after my family moved to Newberg.  She was always friendly and ready with a smile.  We both loved running, but our schedules didn’t match up to run together for years.  Finally we were able to go on a run together and it was a LONG one… Ruth joined me for 18 of […]

the deSanno’s


I met Ashley through running. (We’re in the same van on our Hood to Coast team so our friendship went deep immediately cause we lived out of a van together for 24 hours.) It’s no surprise that Ashley is Ah-Maz-INg.  Smart, driven, compassionate with a quick wit, Ashley excels at everything she sets her mind to.  Running?  Oh she’s fast. […]

40 Years of Marriage: Leaving a Legacy


Cindy and John celebrated 40 years of marriage this year.  What a legacy to leave their children and grandchildren.  I had the privilege of photographing Cindy and John, along with their two sons and their families to commemorate this milestone. The morning of their session was abnormally cold for the Willamette Valley, with temps in the mid twenties, but incredibly […]

Worth It To Wait


This fall I photographed the Cheung family for the third time.  Each time we’ve hit snags actually getting to the photo session: weather and illness have sidelined us multiple times and this session was no exception.  It was worth it to wait for decent weather and healthy kids though because their photos are some of my favorites from the fall […]
