Winter Portraits with Snow


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 […]

Taking Advantage of Being Together for the Holidays


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 […]

When Everyone is in Town


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 […]

Nate


Nate is Class of 2023 senior at Estacada High School.  Skilled with his hands and working with motors and cars, he bought and brought back to life a beautiful old truck. Nate plans to continue to work with motors/vehicles in some capacity after he graduates from high school.  We had a COLD and clear winter day to shoot his senior […]

A talented artist, Joe is earning an Advanced Placement Art diploma from his high school, but plans to make a career in dermatology.  Joe wanted an urban setting for his senior portraits that matched his artistic vibe.  We had a beautiful winter day in Portland for his session and we were able to […]

Kiki


Kiki is a Class of 2023 senior at Sherwood High School.  She competes in color guard and plays in the band.  She brought her wooden color guard rifle to her session and showed me how she spins it during competition. SO COOL!  I’ve known Kiki since she was in pre-school so it was a huge honor to take her senior […]

the Wolcott’s


My first time working with the Wolcott’s and they are such a sweet family.  It was fun to grab some winter photos while their son was home on vacation.  Have a great year! #jodistilpphotography #familyportraits #winterportraits

The Windsor’s


Kelly has been my Go To Girl since I moved to Newberg.  She lived down the street from the house we rented for short-term housing.  One afternoon of chatting and the kids playing sealed a friendship that has spanned more than 14 years, in spite of us moving across town five months later. Our boys are all still best friends. […]

Buehler-Guidry Clan


Been photographing Cyndi and her crew for years.  Got to take Cyndi and TJ’s engagement photos.  It was an honor to photograph their entire blended tribe for the first time.  With all those gorgeous adult children my guess is that the family is going to increase in number every year.  We’re gonna need to rent bleachers pretty soon!  Also… there […]

Juliet


Juliet is a Class of 2022 senior at Newberg High School.  She’s talented with makeup and fashion and plans to be an esthetician after she graduates. She chose a winter photo session and wouldn’t you know it?  We got SNOW a few days before her session and it stayed cold enough that the snow hadn’t fully melted by the time […]
