I first met Madison at the end of her junior year of high school because she won the Chehalem Valley Chamber of Commerce Junior Citizen of the Year award and I was hired to photograph her for the Chamber. She lives up to all the hype. Humble. Kind. Smart. Hard-working. Successful. She’ll be going to Oregon State to study engineering […]
Leadership Chehalem Valley is a “two year program that offers valuable leadership assessment and training, shows how communities are structured and how they work, and puts forth examples of community leadership and their stories.” This year’s Class of 2020 graduates had to forego an in-person graduation ceremony. For their Zoom graduation, they had professional portraits taken of them. Well done graduates. […]

Cheyenne is a Class of 2020 senior from Newberg High School. She sings with Newberg’s competition choir and has a beautiful voice. Since her in-person graduation ceremony was cancelled, she and her choir members, pre-recorded their graduation performance from each of their homes. It was complicated and oh-so-beautiful. Thank you for sharing your talent with our community. Congratulations Cheyenne! #jodistilpphotography […]
My daughter Katie plays soccer for Newberg High School. This year they had nine seniors on the varsity squad. At the end of the school year, we did a Cap and Gown photo session to celebrate their accomplishments. Not all nine seniors could attend the photo session, but we had fun with the ones that were able to make it. […]
My daughter Katie is a Class of 2020 graduate. She, like her classmates, found her world turned upside down when the COVID pandemic brought us to a screeching halt. She left school on March 13th, thinking that she was just getting an extra week of spring break. None of us could have predicted that March 13th would be her last […]
COVID came like a wrecking ball and ended Life As They Knew it for the Class of 2020 seniors. No prom. No spring sports seasons. No final concerts or theatre productions. No traditional graduation ceremonies. No All Night Party. No Senior Skip Day, Senior Breakfast and Grad Walk through their elementary and middle schools. It was just so hard. As […]
