My friend Nanci of Nanci Imagery is a talented photographer. We tentatively launched our businesses around the same time and thankfully had a Village that believed in us and our untapped talent. Over the years, we have honed our skills and developed our niches. Nanci loves the technicality and perfection of staged newborn photography and is INCREDIBLE at posing and […]
Is there anything more precious than a newborn babe? The fuzzy head. The tiny fingers and toes. Soft little ears. The noises they make as they nestle in. Goodness… They are such a gift. It was an honor to be invited into the Caruso’s home to document the addition of baby Theo – bringing their sweet family unit to a […]
The Laney’s hired me to take extended family portraits when they converged on Newberg for the holiday season. They traveled from all parts of the world to be together so it was pretty special that I got to be the one to document their time together. May God bless your family in this new year. #jodistilpphotography #familyportraits #extendedfamilyportraitsession #family #winterportraits […]
Two years ago I met the Adams family for the first time and we did a Christmas-themed photo session. This year we connected again around the holidays to update their family photos. It’s crazy how much their fun kiddos have grown. I feel like we really captured the essence of their family in their portrait session. I’m excited for them […]
I met Vanessa when I took her professional head shot to accompany her new job. We hit it off and scheduled a family photo session, but as the session approached the weather wasn’t cooperating. Instead of force it, we chose to take our time. Mid-November was when I got to meet her beautiful family for their long-anticipated photo session. It […]
Susie emailed me early in the week to discuss a holiday themed Simple Offering photo session with her kiddos when her daughter came home from college. It all just worked out – their schedule, my schedule, the weather… We got their session shot, edited and turned around in four days which might be a record. I love it when things are […]
Dalton is a senior at Newberg High School. He’s also good friends with my son Grant. They have played water polo together for the past four years and started working together last year. When they aren’t in the pool training or at the job site working, you’ll probably find them at Taco Bell, Shari’s, or hanging out at one of […]
I met Lisel at the gym years ago, but we bonded at the Mabel Rush Elementary School Spring Carnival. Our families sat at picnic tables eating cold hot dogs and talking about our shared love of the Chicago Cubs. They even named their dog Wrigley for Wrigley Field, where the Cubs play their home games. It’s been fun see each […]
I was so happy when Alicia called to book another Dickenson Family photo session. Our kids have grown up together and it’s fun to see them all morphing into mini-adults. Plus they are just straight up fun. They laugh freely and do a lot of joking around. Grandma Maggie earned the Grandma of the Year award when she let Grant […]
Fall in Oregon is unpredictable. You never know what you’re going to get. When I left my house to drive to the Moyer’s photo session it was bright, beautiful sunshine. I crested a little mountain and drove right into thick fog that didn’t lift for miles. Thankfully the fog adds mystery and beauty to portraits and we were able to […]
