the Wells Family


When Alex emailed me to inquire about family portraits and told me she had 10 month old twin sons and a sweet 3 year old daughter, I got very excited. My opportunities to work with Littles lately has been limited so I was super stoked to take their family portraits at her sister’s farm. They are such a sweet family. […]

And Now She’s Two


I’ve been photographing Maisie and her sweet parents since she was in utero.  I can’t believe she’s almost two already and talking up a storm.  Plus the sweetest disposition.  I look forward to my hour with the sweet family every year.  Have a great year you guys.  Thanks for being so awesome. #jodistilpphotography #familyportraits #familyofthree

Making Life Look Easy


Ryan and Mandee are the type of people everyone wants as friends.  They are solidly grounded in their faith which leads to a strong marriage, deep friendships, and patient, consistent parenting of their three awesome boys. We adore them.  They make life look easy, even when it’s the farthest thing from easy.  May the Lord continue to guide and lead […]

Playful Beach Photos


This sweet family was vacationing at Cannon Beach for their babymoon.  Our objective was to get playful family photos and we let their pup and their toddler take the lead.  They walked on the beach, dug in the sand, tickled, giggled, snuggled, and wrestled. And their pup? Never let their sweet boy out of his sight… constantly keeping watch over […]

Joy


The Sturgis family is full of joy.  It’s what I noticed right away when I met them and their laughter, joy and love for each other carried throughout their entire photo session.  Family is such a gift.  I was so blessed to work with this family who clearly understood and treasured the gift of each other. Thank you Sturgis family […]

From Baby to Toddler


Toddlers and babies… they change so much in one year.  It always shocks me when my clients in this life phase have me come back and I see how much their precious babes have grown.  This sweet family was no different.  I couldn’t get over all the skills (and hair) their Littles acquired in a short 12 months. Thank you […]

Four Generations


I have been photographing Nicole and her family since her babes were newborns.  This session was special because we included Nicole’s grandma. Four generations of family and love were represented.  Aren’t they cute?  And don’t the ladies do a good job coordinating outfits and details?  I’m always so impressed.  Thank you for a fun time together – again.  I’m already […]

On Toddlers and Babies…


The Buisman family won an Offering I donated to the Visible Grace auction.  It was a blessing to meet them and photograph their darling family.  Life with toddlers and babies is so moment to moment, hands on, snuggles, love, chasing, comforting, protecting, cajoling…  It’s messy and lovely, exhausting and filled with big emotions. I’m removed enough from our Years in […]

the Adams Family


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 […]

Foggy Fall Morning


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 […]
