And the award for Biggest Smile goes to Jax! Doesn’t his smile light up a room? Jax is a Class of 2024 senior at Sherwood High School. We shot his photo session at his grandpa’s house which was really special to pull that element of his childhood into his senior portraits. We had a gorgeous winter day for Jax’s senior […]
The Schlacters were all home for Christmas so we did a quick Simple Offering photo session to commemorate the occasion. Can you tell how fun they are? It’s always so fun to have an excuse to see them. Thank you for asking me. Have a great year. #jodistilpphotography #familyportraits #winterportraits
The Hamzah’s are new friends. My husband met them in our neighborhood. They invited him in for some Turkish coffee. One thing led to another and a few months later I was also enjoying DELICIOUS Turkish coffee with their family before their photo session. Aren’t they just darling? I’m so excited to share these photos and build our friendship. Thank […]
Another winter photo session with the Williams family… and of course we got moody Oregon weather. It just seems to fit their family. I LOVE the fog and the trees and of course the people that always make the session SO SO FUN! Love you guys. Thanks for another great year. #jodistilpphotography #familyportraits #winterportraits
Caine is a Class of 2024 senior at Horizon Christian High School. We shot his session at his house. It added an extra layer of customization to his session. Caine is fixing up his really old truck, which of course had to make an appearance. Caine’s #1 request for his senior portrait session was “shoot this as fast as possible.” […]
The first time I photographed this sweet family they had one grandchild. A couple years later and their treasures have grown to three sweet grandchildren. It was COLD and rainy the day of their photo session, but the entire Carlough family just rolled with the bad weather and a few bouts of melancholy with the kiddos. I’m so pleased with […]
The Lunz Family has been an active part of our family’s life for the better part of the last six or seven years. We met at church. Casual “how was your week” chats before or after the service turned into “want to go share a meal?” and then morphed into deep friendship. We have celebrated life’s joys together. Wept together […]
I love shooting extended family photo sessions, especially around the holidays. Everyone gathering from their homes – usually someone from out of town – to celebrate being together and the love they share. It’s such an honor to be trusted with these sessions. This is the second time I’ve photographed the entire Mears family and they are just so fun. […]
When Rachel booked me to take her family photos for the end of February we thought we were gambling with working around rain. But winter in Oregon this year has been much colder than usual. What would have typically just been a wet, cold week turned into a late winter snow storm two days before their session was scheduled. The […]
Every holiday season I get inquiries from clients wondering if I’m willing to shoot photo sessions in the days just before or just after Christmas. The answer is almost always “Yes.” Not because I particularly like peeling myself off the couch where I’m snuggled with my crew who are home on Christmas break, but because I understand just how special […]
