Oh these Varuska’s. They are some of my favorites, but don’t tell anyone. They hired me SUPER new into my career to photograph their family when their twins were turning one and it’s become an annual tradition. Watching my clients’ children grow up is so fun. Aren’t they the cutest ever? Have a great year Varuska family. I hope to […]
Dane has been a constant in our family’s story since we moved to Newberg. For more of the back story of how Dane and my son Grant became friends read this gem of a blog post that I just unearthed. I NEVER could have guessed the friendship story God would write between our boys over the next ten years. They […]
The Guidry’s are Our People. We’ve only known them for six years, but our friendship was fast and immediate. Cyndi and I went deep on our first lunch date and have been close friends ever since. Our husbands also had an instant connection. Then they moved to Newberg and were a mere two miles from our house. ALL THE PRAISE […]
Oh my gosh Wils… How is it possible that this post is about your senior portraits? Pass the Kleenex!!!! I remember when you started playing water polo in 6th grade. Baseball had been your life, but you made the switch to the pool and you had a wicked shot. Grant was in the cage, and even though he was a […]
The Luthers have been our neighbors for ten years. An entire decade. Where does the time go?!?! Layla and I really got to know each other when I joined her Cascade Lakes Relay team. We raced together for two (or was it three?) years and had so much fun together. Layla is one of the kindest women I know. She’s […]
It’s no secret to anyone who knows me personally or follows my running career that Handful bras have been a steady part of my story since I first discovered them six years ago in 2012. My Handful bras have become my Go To for pretty much everything… workouts, running, yoga, every day use, backpacking, hiking, swim suit tops and anything […]
It’s hard to believe we’ve only known the Specter’s for a few years because our lives have become so intertwined. Our son works for them, tending their vines, pulling weeds, and any other Man Work that Winemaker Dave has for him. Grant loves the Shirt Optional dress code, sweating in the sun vs. an easier job indoors, and the flexible […]
Ethan is a soccer player for Valley Catholic High School and plans to study engineering after high school. I very much enjoyed getting to know him and his mom during his session on a beautiful fall morning at Champoeg State Park. Best of luck to you Ethan as you finish high school and move into your college years. #jodistilpphotography […]
Another year… another session with the awesome Nanson family. We’ve got this Fall Family Photo Session thing dialed in. Thanks Nanson’s for trusting me to help tell your family’s story. It’s so fun to watch your girls grow up. They are beautiful. May God bless you and your family in the coming year. #jodistilpphotography #familyportraits #fall #familyoffive #tellyourstory
Nicole got my number from a friend and gave me a call. By the time we hung up, I felt like I had a new friend. It was so great to meet Nicole and her darling family at their photo session. It was one of the first days of fall that felt like fall… a little bit of fog, some […]
