I first photographed Sierra in 8th grade at the tulip farm. When she hired me for her high school senior portraits, pictures with the sunflowers were her number one priority. And this spring? Well this Queen is graduating summa cum laude (she got ONE B in all of her college career) from Western Oregon University. The one location she had […]
Every holiday season I get inquiries from clients wondering if I’m willing to shoot photo sessions in the days just before or just after Christmas. The answer is almost always “Yes.” Not because I particularly like peeling myself off the couch where I’m snuggled with my crew who are home on Christmas break, but because I understand just how special […]

Nate is Class of 2023 senior at Estacada High School. Skilled with his hands and working with motors and cars, he bought and brought back to life a beautiful old truck. Nate plans to continue to work with motors/vehicles in some capacity after he graduates from high school. We had a COLD and clear winter day to shoot his senior […]
Joe is a Class of 2023 senior. A talented artist, Joe is earning an Advanced Placement Art diploma from his high school, but plans to make a career in dermatology. Joe wanted an urban setting for his senior portraits that matched his artistic vibe. We had a beautiful winter day in Portland for his session and we were able to […]
Kiki is a Class of 2023 senior at Sherwood High School. She competes in color guard and plays in the band. She brought her wooden color guard rifle to her session and showed me how she spins it during competition. SO COOL! I’ve known Kiki since she was in pre-school so it was a huge honor to take her senior […]
My first time working with the Wolcott’s and they are such a sweet family. It was fun to grab some winter photos while their son was home on vacation. Have a great year! #jodistilpphotography #familyportraits #winterportraits
Kelly has been my Go To Girl since I moved to Newberg. She lived down the street from the house we rented for short-term housing. One afternoon of chatting and the kids playing sealed a friendship that has spanned more than 14 years, in spite of us moving across town five months later. Our boys are all still best friends. […]
I have been photographing the Williams family every year for at least 6 or 7 years. This year we chose to go back to the location of one of their first sessions and then we re-created several of the poses with their boys who have morphed from elementary school to high school and college young men. It was the worst […]
Nolan is a Class of 2023 senior at Tigard High School. He plays water polo and surfs so incorporating water was a key factor in choosing the location for his photo session. We shot his session on a cold fall morning. We had crazy beautiful moody lighting and the stillest water on the river. We worked quickly because rain was […]
