the Dickenson’s


I was so happy when Alicia called to book another Dickenson Family photo session.  Our kids have grown up together and it’s fun to see them all morphing into mini-adults.  Plus they are just straight up fun.  They laugh freely and do a lot of joking around.  Grandma Maggie earned the Grandma of the Year award when she let Grant […]

Near and Dear


The Busch Family will always be near and dear to my heart.  I met Sandra in the pre-school drop off/pick up line when our now 8th graders were four years old.  We had both – with no regrets – put careers on hold to raise our babies.  As our kids got older and our days unfolded with more time, we […]

Another Year. Another Round of Memories


I love the fall because my families that I work with annually start calling to set up their family portrait sessions.  For some of these families, this is the only time I get to see them each year.  We try to hang with the Nanson’s a little more than during their yearly portrait session, but I at least know I […]

Fall Vineyards and Cute Boys


Gaironn is one of the most efficient people I’ve worked with and I LOVE efficiency!  She knew when and where she wanted her photo session and had a clear vision for what she wanted to accomplish within the session.  I loved meeting her and her darling sons. They were so cute and so sweet. She also happens to help operate […]

Jack


Jack is a senior at Newberg High School.  His little brother plays water polo with my son and that’s how we met Jack’s family.  Things I knew about Jack before his senior session: 1.  He’s a very good football player.  2.  He’s also a very good wrestler. 3.  He’s had the same girlfriend since he was a freshman. Things I […]

Happy First Birthday


This sweet family is new to Oregon from the Midwest.  Their baby boy turned one recently and they hired me to take their first professional family portraits.  What an honor.  And isn’t their little guy adorable?  Two days after their session, the leaves on that tree were all on the ground so we timed it perfectly to capture the brilliance […]

the Lawson’s


I love getting the beautiful Lawson family (including their adorable dog Chloe) in front of my camera.  This year was no exception.  We timed their session perfectly to capture the fall colors in Newberg and had fun playing in the leaves.  Thank you Lawson family for another fun photo session.  I sure do love you guys. #jodistilpphotography #familyportraits #fall #fallcolors […]

Cobe


Cobe is a senior at Stayton High School.  He loves Jesus, soccer, his golden retriever, anything from the 80’s (including some awesome 80’s rock bands), and his vintage pickup truck.  He also doesn’t mind his Dad’s yellow Corvette.  Cobe’s dad is one of my high school friends.  We hadn’t seen each other in over twenty years, so it was pretty […]

Ben


Ben is a science loving, soccer player at Newberg High School. I loved everything about Ben’s Out of The Box senior portrait session(s).  It was pouring the day of his original session, but Ben had arranged to use the chemistry lab for some portraits, so we did that piece of his senior session since it was indoors.  The next sunny […]

Tarin


Tarin is a senior at Newberg High School.  He competes in football and track, and has a really cool Jeep.  We had a ton of fun shooting his senior session at the high school at at Champoeg State Park.  Thanks for sharing your morning with me Tarin.  May God bless you in your senior year. #jodistilpphotography #tellyourstory #classof2018 #newberghighschool #trackandfield […]
