Wilson


Oh my gosh Wils…  How is it possible that this post is about your senior portraits?  Pass the Kleenex!!!!  I remember when you started playing water polo in 6th grade.  Baseball had been your life, but you made the switch to the pool and you had a wicked shot. Grant was in the cage, and even though he was a […]

the Luthers


The Luthers have been our neighbors for ten years.  An entire decade.  Where does the time go?!?!  Layla and I really got to know each other when I joined her Cascade Lakes Relay team.  We raced together for two (or was it three?) years and had so much fun together.  Layla is one of the kindest women I know.  She’s […]

Handful


It’s no secret to anyone who knows me personally or follows my running career that Handful bras have been a steady part of my story since I first discovered them six years ago in 2012.  My Handful bras have become my Go To for pretty much everything… workouts, running, yoga, every day use, backpacking, hiking, swim suit tops and anything […]

Winemaker Dave and A New Car


It’s hard to believe we’ve only known the Specter’s for a few years because our lives have become so intertwined.  Our son works for them, tending their vines, pulling weeds, and any other Man Work that Winemaker Dave has for him.  Grant loves the Shirt Optional dress code, sweating in the sun vs. an easier job indoors, and the flexible […]

Ethan


Ethan is a soccer player for Valley Catholic High School and plans to study engineering after high school.  I very much enjoyed getting to know him and his mom during his session on a beautiful fall morning at Champoeg State Park.  Best of luck to you Ethan as you finish high school and move into your college years.    #jodistilpphotography […]

Another Year… Another Session


Another year… another session with the awesome Nanson family.  We’ve got this Fall Family Photo Session thing dialed in.  Thanks Nanson’s for trusting me to help tell your family’s story.  It’s so fun to watch your girls grow up.  They are beautiful.  May God bless you and your family in the coming year. #jodistilpphotography #familyportraits #fall #familyoffive #tellyourstory

the Hastin’s


Nicole got my number from a friend and gave me a call.  By the time we hung up, I felt like I had a new friend.  It was so great to meet Nicole and her darling family at their photo session.  It was one of the first days of fall that felt like fall… a little bit of fog, some […]

Jaci


I met Jaci through my daughter when they were both on the middle school track team.  They became fast friends.  Jaci’s mom, Dawn, and I started chatting and realized we both liked to run.  We ran together once.  Then twice.  Then weekly.  Then multiple times a week.  Running brought our families together. Fast forward six years..  Jaci and my son […]

Samantha


Meet Samantha, senior at Newberg High School.  Her big smile is contagious and she is so fun to be around. Isn’t she lovely? We had a beautiful fall morning for Sam’s photo session and we split our time between two local vineyards. Thank you Rex Hill and Bells Up for your hospitality.  May God bless you this year Sam, as […]

Mason


I’ve known Mason for several years, but have just gotten close to his family in the past year or two.  He’s such a cool kid.  Mason is a very talented soccer player, but he’s also really artistic.  He loves photography and fashion (and shoes) and takes really beautiful photos.  I was not one bit surprised that he wanted to go […]
