Jane is a Class of 2021 senior at Lincoln High School. Like every other Class of 2021 student, she had to adapt her dreams and expectations for her senior year to Portland’s COVID restricted life. She is honest about the disappointment, but still filled with joy and that big, beautiful smile. I loved being around her uplifting spirit and easy-going […]
Jordan is a class of 2021 senior at Newberg High School. I met his mom years ago at Outdoor School. We were both chaperoning for the week and got paired up as cabin moms – such a fun way to make a new friend. We’ve kept in touch over the years and it’s crazy to me that her oldest is […]
Ryan and Mandee are the type of people everyone wants as friends. They are solidly grounded in their faith which leads to a strong marriage, deep friendships, and patient, consistent parenting of their three awesome boys. We adore them. They make life look easy, even when it’s the farthest thing from easy. May the Lord continue to guide and lead […]
This is the second time I’ve had the privilege of photographing the extended Johnson family. It’s crazy how much the kids grew and changed in a handful of years. Rain was not in the forecast for their session. And yet… we got everybody set up for the first photo and the skies unleashed. We ran for cover and contemplated our […]
This is Whitney. Isn’t she darling? We did a mini-session together this fall just because. Because 2020 has been a hard year and because stuff like this brings joy. What’s not to love about a darling kiddo smiling in the sunshine?!? Thanks for bring some sunshine and joy to my life Whitney. You’re amazing. #jodistilpphotography #minisession #portraits
Colby is a class of 2021 senior at Newberg High School. Colby is one of those kids that seems to do everything well. Academics are a huge priority to him and it shows in his excellent GPA. He plays football in the fall and baseball in the spring/summer. When he’s not in school or playing a sport, he’s working on […]
Miah is a Class of 2021 senior at Newberg High School. Isn’t she beautiful? She was such a natural at her session, flashing that stunning smile with ease and confidence. And we had all that beautiful fall sunlight to work with which made me day! Miah – you know I love you so much. I am proud of the woman […]
Maddy is a Class of 2021 senior at Aloha High School. A former soccer player, she pivoted her focus to track and field where she sprints, jumps and runs the relays. Maddy loved working at the local movie theater, before COVID shut it down. After Maddy graduates, she hopes to study Political Science at Oregon State University. From the little […]
Each time I sat down to work with these family photos, I mumbled, “OKAY CUTE!” at least once or twice. I mean… seriously. They are just so cute. And fun. And nice. Plus Grandma GG is total goals. Isn’t she stunning and fun with her pink hair and her awesome style? It was sunny but FREEZING and super windy, so […]
Heather and her kiddos were so excited for their family photo session. We had a gorgeous, sunny fall day for their session, and then… it started raining hard right as their session started. When there is hand-curled hair involved, you don’t do rainy portraits. What a bummer. We opted to switch to a location with covered spaces instead of […]
