Liv kicked off my Class of 2023 individual senior sessions and man was it a perfect evening. I’ve known Liv since she in 1st grade and the girls in our families grew up together. It’s hard to believe she’s about to enter her final year of high school. Time truly does fly. Liv wanted her photos to include flowers, gardens, […]
The Specter’s took a chance on me the first year I was in business and they have hired me every year since then to take their family photos. I have had the privilege of watching their daughter Naomi grow up and she gets more beautiful every year. Their fledgling vineyard and wine business 8 years ago is not just off […]
Family portraits on a summer evening with that warm golden light are basically my favorite. We chose a rural field as the location for the Hinton’s family photos and had a great time getting acquainted and enjoying a perfect Oregon summer night. #jodistilpphotography #familyportraits #summerportraits #familyofsix
Mariana and Samantha have been friends since pre-school and have maintained their tight-knit friendship for more than a decade in spite of the fact that Samantha moved half-way across the state. They waited to their cap and gown photo session until Samantha was in town for a visit, then chose the elementary school where they met as the first location […]

It was only fitting that their running shoes made […]

Emily is a skilled tumbler and highly decorated cheerleader. She hopes to continue her cheerleading career on a professional […]
Wyatt is a Class of 2022 senior at Newberg High School. He moved here in the middle of the pandemic, when everyone was locked in their homes and doing school online. Such a rough time for a teen to move, but he has the best attitude. I am just so impressed with his positivity and willingness to try new things […]
I love the Hall’s. I’ve known them since they were newly married and been photographing their family consistently since they started having babies. While we have ventured to a few different locations, we more often than not end up at Champoeg State Park for their photo sessions. I guess it’s just our thing. This year we shot their session at […]

High jump, long jump, hurdles.. don’t be surprised if you see her on a college track some time next year. Abby loves animals and is considering a career as a veterinarian. It was only fitting […]
