I met Sydney when she was in early elementary school. It’s hard to wrap my head around the fact that she is now a high school graduate and headed to Linfield College to study nursing in the fall. WELL DONE Sydney! May God continue to lead you in this next chapter of your life. #jodistilpphotography #seniorportraits #classof2020 #capandgownphotos
I love it when I have a high school senior contact me for winter portraits. Even though it’s barren, there are still pockets of beauty, and winter portraits just feel more unique. Liam wanted a mini session with an outdoorsy feel. We got lucky with the weather – a pocket of dry sandwiched in between days and days of rain […]
Matt is a senior at Mountainside High School. Matt plays lacrosse and loves photography and art. He wanted an urban themed senior photo session with some sharp contrast in the final images. Matt’s mom was looking for scenic images with fall colors, and a couple of photos of mom and son together. His cute dog even made a cameo appearance. […]
Our neighbors just had a baby. Sweet Harper is all sorts of darling, with her red hair, pretty eyes and big expressions. I loved hanging out with them for a little photo session after her arrival. They are the greatest family… loads of personality and just so fun. And how cute are their kiddos’ bedrooms? We’re so lucky to have […]
Josh and Emily are some of our Big’s. What’s a Big, you ask? A Big is a quasi-adopted adult child who has spent enough time with our family to graft themselves into it. We have five Original Big’s. They have all gone on to get married, adopt dogs, buy houses, and are starting to have babies. It’s pretty exciting to […]
Grady is a senior at Southridge High School. He plays water polo and swims, loves his labradoodle Ace, is a huge Timbers fan, enjoys spending time with his girlfriend, and is deciding between a career in engineering or business. Grady wanted three backdrops for his senior portrait session: water, urban, and forest. We were able to get all of it […]
Ben is the coolest kid. A senior at McMinnville High School, he spent the last year of his life studying abroad in South America through a Rotary scholarship. He now speaks fluent Spanish and has broad cultural experience that he plans to use in his future career flying airplanes for humanitarian relief. I mean c’mon! How cool is that? Ben […]
The weather forecast for the Hall’s family photo session was rain showers and cold. We chatted about rescheduling, but Oregon fall weather is so unpredictable, so we decided to go for it. It was definitely not ideal conditions for a photo session with a toddler and a preschooler, but the Hall family were such troopers. Jason and Melissa came prepared […]
Kyler and Grace are two of the kindest, polite, and thoughtful high schoolers I have ever worked with. Early into their session, Kyler very sincerely paused and asked me, “How has your day been today? What have you been up to?” I was momentarily speechless. High school boys just don’t ask me how I’m doing. Grace was just the same. […]
Oh baby! I was so happy to hear that Rachita and Kunal were expanding their family. It was such a privilege to see this sweet family twice in a matter of weeks. Rachita and Kunal are as genuine and kind as they come. They love each other, are great parents, and are just all around fun to be around. And […]
