Rilyn + Linfield


When I photographed Rilyn the summer before her senior year, Linfield was a top contender in her search for the perfect university.  I was not surprised when she booked her College Reveal session and told me Linfield University was her choice.  Lucky Linfield. The morning of Rilyn’s photo session was supposed to be cloudy.  But 15 minutes before the session, […]

Abbey


Abbey waited until her senior year was basically a wrap before we did her senior portraits.  It was super fun to do a late spring senior session.  Abbey is a creative and it shows in her style, her cool hair, and the fun locations she chose.  Plus she is absolutely stunning, with a gorgeous smile that she shares generously with […]

Growing Up


This was my third year photographing the Buisman family.  Aren’t they darling?  I just can’t get over how quickly their Littles are growing up and turning into adorable conversationalists. It’s crazy to me how bonds can be formed in an hour once a year, but I seriously love my clients and their sweet kiddos.  Thanks for another fun year you […]

the Shipman’s


I love photographing my clients in locations that are important to them.  The Shipman’s invited me to their home nestled in the heart of Chehalem Mountain.  Situated in the middle of a rolling meadow surrounded by thick forest, it was such a great spot to photograph this awesome family and their pets. Have a great year Shipman family.  I have […]

the Brown’s


The Brown’s were referred to me by mutual friends, which is the highest compliment anyone can pay me.  Turns out our worlds are very connected, and yet we had never met. I loved meeting them and their darling kiddos.  And the lush green meadow was a fun spot for spring portraits.  Thanks Brown family for a fun morning.  May God […]

Cousins


Aren’t these three cousins cute?  They don’t live in the same state, which makes their time together even sweeter.  We did a quick photo session over Spring Break and happened to get some pretty spring blooms along the way. #jodistilpphotography #cousins #familyportraits #springportraits

Spring Family Photos


JoJo scheduled her family portraits for December, but the weather was nasty and her entire family couldn’t make it, so we postponed until the spring.  It was worth the wait.  We had a perfect spring evening for their family session. Thank you for trusting me to capture these moments with your family. #jodistilpphotography #familyportraits #springportraits #familyoffive

Golden Hour Photos


We’ve been talking for three years about doing family photos for this awesome family but the timing never worked out.  Finally, we grabbed our chance and had PERFECT weather.  The spring flowers were in bloom and the golden hour lighting on this late spring evening was so pretty.  Thanks Croskrey’s for a fun night. #jodistilpphotography #familyportraits #springportraits #goldenhour

Thank you Green Family


The Green family photo session was special. It one of the only times they’d had professional portraits taken of their family and their session was shot just before their son left for  Basic Training in the Air Force.  The Green family has a ton of love for each other.  That was obvious.  They also are good-natured, easy going and fun. […]

Love Wins


These Jordans…  they love each other and it radiates from them to the world around them.  Our boys have played water polo together since they were in 6th grade so we’ve spent a lot of time shoulder to shoulder in hot, humid pools all over the Pacific Northwest.  Down to earth, generous, and fun are some of the first words […]
