Sophie and Kylee have been best friends for years, so it was only fitting that Kylee joined in for some of Sophie’s Class of 2020 cap and gown photo session. Congrats to both of you. May God bless you in this next chapter of your lives. #jodistilpphotography #classof2020 #graduationphotos #capandgown #newberghighschool
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 […]

Cheyenne is a Class of 2020 senior from Newberg High School. She sings with Newberg’s competition choir and has a beautiful voice. Since her in-person graduation ceremony was cancelled, she and her choir members, pre-recorded their graduation performance from each of their homes. It was complicated and oh-so-beautiful. Thank you for sharing your talent with our community. Congratulations Cheyenne! #jodistilpphotography […]
My daughter Katie is a Class of 2020 graduate. She, like her classmates, found her world turned upside down when the COVID pandemic brought us to a screeching halt. She left school on March 13th, thinking that she was just getting an extra week of spring break. None of us could have predicted that March 13th would be her last […]

No traditional graduation ceremonies. No All Night Party. No Senior Skip Day, Senior Breakfast and Grad Walk through their elementary and middle schools. It was just so hard. As […]

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 […]
Matt is a senior at Mountainside High School. Matt plays lacrosse and loves photography and art. He wanted an urban themed senior photo session with some sharp contrast in the final images. Matt’s mom was looking for scenic images with fall colors, and a couple of photos of mom and son together. His cute dog even made a cameo appearance. […]

Grady wanted three backdrops for his senior portrait session: water, urban, and forest. We were able to get all of it […]

He now speaks fluent Spanish and has broad cultural experience that he plans to use in his future career flying airplanes for humanitarian relief. I mean c’mon! How cool is that? Ben […]
