Year 3 with the Hamzah family and their kids just keep getting cuter, more active, and fun. Photographing toddlers often means pivoting to their bandwidth in that moment. We grabbed a quick posed family photo and then Lila was off and running. I chased her around the park, which she thought was hilarious, and managed to get some darling action […]
Tristan is a Class of 2026 senior at Jesuit. He plans to attend Gonzaga University and play Division I collegiate tennis… such a massive accomplishment. Well done T! I’ve know Tristan and his family since he was a baby and while our worlds don’t collide that often, we’ve kept up over the years. I truly can not believe he is […]
Sara Kate is a Class of 2026 senior. I met Sara Kate through Newberg lacrosse when she and her family were new to the area. It was fun to watch her learn the sport and get to know her and her family. She plans to attend George Fox University in the fall and play collegiate lacrosse there. Sara Kate opted […]
Naomi is a Class of 2026 senior. I’ve been photographing her and her family since she was 5 years old… watching her grow from year to year and having clients morph into dear friends. I truly can’t believe she’s graduating and stepping into this next season in life. Don’t blink friends because time truly flies. Naomi is a talented aerialist […]
Chloe is a Class of 2026 senior who chose a late winter/early spring portrait session that combined her love of nature with her urban style. I left Newberg in bright sunshine, drove through a spring downpour on my way to Portland, and watched the storm roll out right before her scheduled session time. As we were finishing photographing Chloe in […]
On January 31st, Luke asked Reilly to marry him and she said, “YES!” It was a tear-inducing, joy-filled moment and as the photographer hired to capture it, I almost missed it! Luke and Reilly travelled in from out of state – a surprise trip for Reilly – so they could celebrate their engagement with her family. Luke and I spent […]
Michelle and Josh are two people that God keeps bringing across my path. My husband first met them on the shuttle bus at the airport when they were newly married and all three of them just happened to be flying to Minnesota. A few months later, they stopped to help our daughter who had a flat tire on the side […]
Some of our best friends stepped into that grandparenting life in September and man has it been fun to see their entire family radiate joy in this new season. It was my honor to photograph the whole family over Christmas break. We got sunshine but it was COLD and windy. Little Sawyer was such a trooper, still smiling even in […]
It was time to update the headshots for NBC Capital Advisors. It had been raining, raining, raining so we chose their office building as the location for this session so we could shoot under cover. As it turns out, we grabbed a pocket of time in the day when the rain not only stopped but the sun came out. YAY! […]
When you have kids away at college you schedule family photos when everyone will be home, and often that’s on winter break. We squeezed a quick photo session in with the Duerr family just before Christmas and I love the moody, magical winter vibe of the photos. Have a great year Duerr fam. You know I adore you. #jodistilpphotography #familyportraits […]
