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 […]

Gabe


Gabe is a Class of 2022 senior at Newberg High School.  Gabe is quiet and kind.  Insanely intelligent, Gabe plans to become an electrical engineer.  He’s also an outdoorsman, skilled in hunting, fishing and working on the farm.  Gabe is hours away from earning his Eagle Scout.  We shot his photo session on a cold winter day on the family […]

Brandon


Brandon is a Class of 2022 senior at Westside Christian High School.  Winter is his favorite season and being on the mountain, skiing through fresh powder is his favorite place to be.  He needed photos in the snow.  But we had a yearbook deadline to meet so we broke Brandon’s session into a fall mini-session and a larger winter session […]

Photos with Nana


Have you ever wrestled with the question: “What do I buy my parents for Christmas or their birthday?”  How about a photo session.  This lucky Nana received a family photo session, centered around her, as a gift from her kids.  The original date of their photo session was horrid weather: dumping rain, wind and maybe 37 degrees.  We rescheduled and […]

The Buckner’s


I’ve known Tony for roughly 7 years.  He’s the assistant principal assigned to our family at the high school.  Over the years of Mr. Buckner supervising our four kids, he has called me to have fun chats. Difficult chats. And everything in between.  Tony knows how to hold your kids accountable to their actions while simultaneously challenging them to be […]

Three Generations From Different Parts of the Country


Mandy contacted me in the fall to ask about my availability to photograph their entire family around Christmas time.  They were traveling in from different parts of the country and everything was pending COVID restrictions. Not to mention Oregon winters are notoriously rainy and not very scenic by late December.  Thankfully we had a rainless morning (in the midst of […]

Another Year with the Williams’


Another year with the Williams’ family makes me happy.  Their obvious love for each other and the way they enjoy life makes them so fun to be around.  Plus take one look at Rizzo, their dog.  He’s the handsomest. We always have a good time, in spite of the fact that there are three men who would rather be doing […]
