It’s hard to believe we’ve only known the Specter’s for a few years because our lives have become so intertwined. Our son works for them, tending their vines, pulling weeds, and any other Man Work that Winemaker Dave has for him. Grant loves the Shirt Optional dress code, sweating in the sun vs. an easier job indoors, and the flexible […]
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 […]
There is something about these two brothers that just melts me. The way they interact with each, their mom and with me is so precious. And that full body hug that Fletcher gave me? Well that just made my day. Maybe my week. Last year little Win was not on the move. This year, he was all over the vineyard, […]
Another year… another session with the awesome Nanson family. We’ve got this Fall Family Photo Session thing dialed in. Thanks Nanson’s for trusting me to help tell your family’s story. It’s so fun to watch your girls grow up. They are beautiful. May God bless you and your family in the coming year. #jodistilpphotography #familyportraits #fall #familyoffive #tellyourstory
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 […]
I first heard about Paris when my son Grant was a freshman. She was new to the water polo team and picked the sport up quickly. The two became casual friends. Fast forward to swim season of their junior year. Grant came home from an away swim meet, smiling. Turns out that smile was less about swimming and more about […]
Two years ago I photographed Emma’s older sister Hannah. It was such an honor to receive a call from their mom asking me if I was available to photograph Emma in her senior year. I had a great time getting to know all the things that make Emma unique: her baking business, her dance career, her skills as a musician, […]
I met Sierra when she was a grade schooler playing soccer with my daughter. A few years ago, at an indoor soccer game, her mom told me they were expecting another daughter. What a fun surprise! Little Charlie is a fixture at all of Sierra’s soccer game. It was such an honor to take Sierra’s senior portraits and totally fitting […]
