Magical Light


The Pothoff’s are good people.  There is no way around their solid character, their faith in Jesus, their kindness, and the way they passionately use their gifts and talents to serve and minister to the community around them.  Every time I am around them, I leave feeling filled up and encouraged.  It has been five years since we did a […]

Hannah

Halle


Meet Halle, Class of 2021 senior at Newberg High School. Can you even get over her beautiful eyes?  Halle is a talented musician.  She writes songs, sings them angelically, and plays guitar and ukulele.  She was kind enough to perform for me during her senior session and I basically stopped working and just took it all in.  What a talent! […]

The Brown’s


Mark and Sarah are both educators in our community.  Since COVID-19 shut down schools and sent everyone home to try to maneuver education online, they have bent over backward to serve our students.  They love every student, especially the more vulnerable ones, and this passion shows when they talk about their students and why they love what they do.  My […]

Rachel


Rachel kicked off the Class of 2021 senior portrait sessions for me. We shot her session on the family farm… one that has belonged to her family for decades.  She brought her handsome horse Dane, and while he tried to steal the spotlight, Rachel was the real star.  Have an awesome senior year Rachel! #jodistilpphotography #classof2021 #seniorportraits #sherwoodhighschool #horses #farms […]

Morgan


Morgan is like one of our family members.  She and my daughter Katie are BFF’s and they are together as often as possible. It was so fun to take Morgan’s senior portraits, especially since I was privy to all the pre-session shopping, planning and scheming.  Morgan’s mom and Katie came along to her session, which made a fun night even […]

Worth Waiting For


I love it when my families ask me to photograph their extended family.  What an honor to document the heritage, love and legacy of a family.  Stephanie and I started the process of scheduling their multi-generation family photo session in early June and somehow managed to drag the process out all summer long.  The photos were worth waiting for.  They […]

Madison


Madison is a senior at Centennial High School.  She plays volleyball, is an actress and has a beautiful singing voice.  We met in the stunning Columbia River Gorge for her senior session where she managed to fashionably incorporate a pair of pants that her mom wore in high school.  How cool is that? Thank you Madison for a fun session. […]
