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 […]
Audrey is a Class of 2026 senior at Newberg High School. She competes in OHSET (Oregon High School Equestrian Team) with her very handsome horse. We started Audrey’s session at the barn with her horse, then switched to showcasing her truck that she worked hard to purchase. We finished her session up on the mountain highlighting Oregon’s forest and the […]
Look how sweet this family is… a newborn babe and that sweet toddler? I should have known they were Minnesotans when they wanted outdoor family photos with a newborn in the late fall and never even discussed the weather… not that it was really very cold but still. Minnesotans know how to do COLD. Anyway, at the session I asked, […]
Whitney is a Class of 2026 senior at Newberg High School. I’ve known her since she was a little girl. We even did a Whitney-exclusive mini-session for her the same year her sister did her senior pictures. We couldn’t have her feeling left out. Of course my mind is blown that it’s now Whitney’s turn. She’s even more lovely now […]
