The Welker family recently moved from the Midwest to Oregon, something I can relate to since we did that nine years ago. It was fun to swap stories about adjusting to a new climate and culture and meet their darling family. Their little man is a Dude on a Mission. He does not like to sit still and and he […]
Photographing this darling family reminded me of how fun toddlers and preschoolers are. Busy, curious, always learning, always asking questions, fluctuating emotions… the world is still so fresh and new. I loved my time with this adorable family. #jodistilpphotography #tellyourstory #familyportraits #toddlers #preschoolers #familyoffour
October was the third rainiest October on record in Oregon’s history. It made shooting fall photo sessions really tricky. Thankfully we lucked out and had a dry and gorgeous morning at Champoeg State Park for our multi-generation family photo session that involved three sisters, their husbands, their children, and their mom. The six kiddos involved ranged in age from 5 years […]
The Travis Family won their photo session at a fundraiser for Visible Grace, a non profit organization whose mission is to “help children break the chains of poverty by caring for them physically, mentally and spiritually. We do this by providing education and a safe, loving home for them. We have a wonderful staff of people who care for the kids and […]
We shot the Waltz family photo session at the always beautiful Jenkins Estate. It was fun for me to meet them as we share a few mutual friends. Their son was a typical toddler – very unsure about the Scary Lady with the Camera and appreciative of his snacks and sippy cup. Isn’t he sweet? Thank you Waltz family for […]
The Adams family is busy. With just 16 months separating their babies, Mom doesn’t get much time to just sit down.Their family photo session was exactly what most sessions with little people are like: unpredictable with some highs and lows. Their Little Princess, for the most part, was not interested in getting her photos taken, and her authenticity and toddlerhood shows in […]
Extended family photo sessions are fun and the Ankeny-Brown-Dillow families were no exception. Their kids were so well-behaved that I was beginning to wonder if they were real. Nice work kiddos!We shot their session at George Fox – fitting since most of the adults either currently work there or have at some point in their career.Enjoy your photos and Merry […]
It is so fun for me to do a maternity session and then get invited back to take photos of that precious little newborn. The miracle of new life never grows old. Little Kellen made his arrival in early September. I was at his house a little more than a week later, documenting every little piece of his newbornness: the […]
It gives me great joy when my clients ask me to come back and capture their family again. I get to see how their kiddos are growing and be a voice telling that family’s story for generations to come. It’s a privilege I don’t take lightly. The Varuska twins are so, so cute. I brought my daughter Alli along to assist me […]
