Kyler and Grace have been together since 8th grade and they are still going strong. Both are dynamic individuals, leaders in their own right, and characterized by kindness. It was so fun to take their senior portraits this fall and finish their crazy senior year off with cap and gown photos on Grace’s 18th birthday. Congrats to you both. I […]
The Newberg High School girl’s soccer team is gearing up for the 2020 season. The COVID pandemic casts a huge shadow of uncertainty over their season. Will be allowed to have fall sports? Will our seniors get to play their final year? Couple that with the unrest in our nation and life feels heavy and hard. The girls’ varsity soccer […]
My friend Cyndi got hammered with the Class of 2020 graduation times three. Her youngest son Ethan graduated from Newberg High School. Her daughter Lauren, and her husband Michael, both graduated from Oregon State. COVID made their graduations memorable and unique. All three of these grads are uber smart, super fun, and going places in life. I loved getting to […]
Jesse is a Class of 2020 graduate from Newberg High School. His passion is theatre and because of COVID, he missed out on his last two performance. Jesse plans to attend OIT in the fall. He has overcome significant health challenges in his life and decorated his cap to reflect his love for theatre and to honor his organ donor. […]
My daughter Katie plays soccer for Newberg High School. This year they had nine seniors on the varsity squad. At the end of the school year, we did a Cap and Gown photo session to celebrate their accomplishments. Not all nine seniors could attend the photo session, but we had fun with the ones that were able to make it. […]
My daughters play lacrosse. The 2020 season was Katie’s senior year and their last chance to play together. When the season got cancelled a handful of days before their first game due to the COVID pandemic, we shed big tears, and grieved a lot throughout the next several weeks. We missed all of the big and little things that make […]
Our good friends had been in the process of adopting their daughter from India for what felt like forever. In December our prayers were answered and they were finally able to bring their sweet girl home. The intricate ways that God moved and the beautiful prayers He answered to unite this family to their daughter leave me speechless. It was […]
I love it when I have a high school senior contact me for winter portraits. Even though it’s barren, there are still pockets of beauty, and winter portraits just feel more unique. Liam wanted a mini session with an outdoorsy feel. We got lucky with the weather – a pocket of dry sandwiched in between days and days of rain […]
The Williams family love quick and easy when it comes to photo sessions, especially with all those boys. We shot their winter session at the park a block from their house on a crisp, cold winter morning. We were in and out in under 20 minutes and I got to photograph their new fur baby too. Isn’t he handsome? Thank […]
This sweet family has a new addition since I last photographed them, but we had the same chilly, foggy weather as their last session. At least we’re consistent! I love a mini-session for families with young kids. It’s designed to be quick and efficient, grabbing those smiles while they last. Aren’t they cute? #jodistilpphotography #familyportraits #familyoffive #fallportraits
