The morning of Quentin’s winter senior session in the woods was cold, crisp and dark. Frost was thick on the vegetation and by the time we finished, we were both frozen solid. Not to mention, I was initially a little lost on how to shoot the session without the usual warm, natural lighting I am used to working with. But […]
Casey is a senior at Centennial High School. She runs cross country, volunteers with the fire department, and loves trees. When we met to plan her senior session, her only request was that her session was outside around trees. We chose the beautiful Columbia River Gorge and had fun exploring Crown Point and Latourell Falls. May God bless you as […]
Zach is a four time Oregon 6A water polo state champion. This year, as one of the co-captains of the team, he led his team to a 35-1 season and a fifth consecutive state title for Newberg High School. He also earned first team all league and first team all state honors. Zach plays hard and with big emotion. In […]
Maddie is a senior at Newberg High School and YES, that is 100% her natural hair color. Isn’t she beautiful? We had so much fun exploring the south waterfront in Portland and dodging rain showers for her session on a typical fall day in Oregon. Maddie loves to read and had some fun ideas to incorporate this passion into her […]
Dane has been a constant in our family’s story since we moved to Newberg. For more of the back story of how Dane and my son Grant became friends read this gem of a blog post that I just unearthed. I NEVER could have guessed the friendship story God would write between our boys over the next ten years. They […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
