Garden Oasis


When your backyard is a garden oasis with intentionally curated spaces of beauty and relaxation you shoot your family photo session THERE.  This is the second time the DeMaster Smith family has invited me into their beautiful space to photograph their family.  Each time I’m in awe of how tranquil and lovely it is.. a true act of love and […]

In the Poppies


The Specter’s were some of my OG clients… hiring me my first year out when I was building a portfolio and doing student pricing.  More than 12 sessions later, I’m honored to still be their person for all things portrait related.  They own Bells Up Winery and we typically photograph them in their vineyard, but this year we went all […]

the Robertson’s


I met Molly playing pickleball.  We were both new to the game.  She was catching on SUPER fast.  I was not.  Like how can a game that looks so easy be so hard?  Anyway, we both like to laugh and have a hard time staying focused for long periods of time so we bonded over these things and formed a […]

And Baby Makes Five


And baby makes five… welcome to this world little Aliyah.  You are already so dearly loved and much anticipated.  I can’t wait to watch you grow. #jodistilpphotography #newbornphotography #familyportraits #familyoffive

Another Year…


The Williams Family is one of my favs… every year we pick a place in the neighborhood to do a quick family photo session.  Every year, they bring their awesome family and their dogs.  We’ve been re-creating the boys on piggy back since they were little groms.  Hard to believe Owie is a senior in high school now. (Insert crying […]

A Great Gift Idea


Elisha contacted me last December about getting a photo session gift certificate for her Mom and Dad.  It’s such a great gift idea and I was happy to oblige.  They opted to wait until late fall to redeem their session because a sweet new addition needed to be included.  It was so great to meet this beautiful family and commemorate […]

Will + Family


Will is a Class of 2025 senior at Central Catholic High School.  His family was due for family portraits so we did a combined, late fall photo session and got the very last bit of the fall color.  Since it was cold we worked quickly – banging out the family session and his senior portraits in les than 30 minutes. […]

the Rossman’s


The Rossman’s live by me and I see them out walking their beautiful dogs regularly.  We formed a neighborly friendship and I was so honored to be asked to take their family photos.  We went up to the golf course trail where they spend so much time enjoying their dogs and shot the session there.  I love how the images […]

the Golder’s


It’s been a few years since I’ve worked with the Golder family but our friendship runs deep.  To know them is to love them. Daniel and Jillian are grounded, mature, loving, Godly people raising really fun, awesome children. As a whole the Golder family spreads joy and light to everyone around them.  I was so thankful for beautiful fall sunshine […]

the Smith’s


The DARLING Smith family is a new client for me this year and what a joy to meet them.  I don’t get much time around Littles anymore so it was such a treat to hang with them and capture their busy, fun, sweet family.  We had a cold, crisp, sunny, fall morning for their session and I love how their […]
