When You Photograph Your Friends


It doesn’t get any better than photographing one of the families that you do life, side by side with.  Our daughters are best friends.  We’ve done college tours together.  Girls trip. Couples dates.  This family is the real deal.  I’m so lucky to count them as our dear friends.  Love you so much Lunz Family! #jodistilpphotography #familyportraits #summerportraits #familyofsix #fourkids […]

The Best Gift for Grandparents


One of the best gifts adult kids give their parents is an extended family photo session, especially if there are grand-babies involved.  This was a special family session since the family is scattered across the United States. Time together, especially after COVID isolation, is precious.  Thank you Brown Family for trusting me to capture this memory.  May God bless you […]

Another Year with the Varuska’s


I first photographed the Varuska’s when their daughter’s were turning one.  I was brand new in the photography world and they took a chance on me.  In the past 8 years, I have photographed their family on a regular basis, watching their beautiful daughters grow up.  We shot this year’s session on private farmland owned by their family.  The setting […]

Senior Squad 2022


I can’t believe we’re in this place, but Alli and her Squad are officially seniors.  We did a golden hour mini-session to start off their senior year.  Of course it just happened to be scheduled on one of the 110 degree days and it was HOT HOT HOT and so humid down by the water!  The girls were such troopers […]

Mother and Daughter Grads


I had the chance to do another mother and daughter cap and gown session.  Sara graduated recently with her bachelor’s in nursing.  What a smarty pants!  And her daughter Allison graduated from Newberg High School.  Well done Allison!  These two were so much fun and we had a beautiful morning for their session.  Congratulations you two.  I loved meeting you […]

Lovin’ Life


I met the Elder family because they were referred to me by a mutual friend.  By the time I got off the phone with Kaila, I felt I had made a new friend.  They are just straight up fun. And authentic. And easy to be around.  It was HOT the morning of their session, but they were still down for […]

Anders


Anders is a Class of 2021 grad who chose to shoot his senior session at the end of his senior year. Anders is such a cool dude. He has traveled the world, is an accomplished soccer player, and loves skateboarding.  He wanted an outdoor, forested vibe for the first part, and then we finished with photos with his new puppy […]

Kivett Grads


How cool is this photo shoot? Mom Holli graduated with her masters a week before Haley graduated with honors from Southridge High School.  We commemorated their accomplishments with a mother-daughter cap and gown session.  Congrats to you both.  I’ve had so much fun working with you this year.  May God bless you in your future endeavors. #jodistilpphotography #classof2021 #capandgownsession #graduationphotos

Abbey


Abbey waited until her senior year was basically a wrap before we did her senior portraits.  It was super fun to do a late spring senior session.  Abbey is a creative and it shows in her style, her cool hair, and the fun locations she chose.  Plus she is absolutely stunning, with a gorgeous smile that she shares generously with […]
