Welcome to Oregon!


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 […]

Andrew


Andrew, a senior at Sherwood High School, impressed me with his quick wit and the kindness and respect he showed to his mom and to his girlfriend.  Both of these important women in his life joined him for a couple of photos during his senior session which was really special.  Have a great senior year Andrew.    #jodistilpphotography #classof2018 #sherwoodhighschool […]

Aiden


Aiden is my running buddy Jarae’s son and he’s a senior at Newberg High School.  It was such an honor to be the one to take his senior portraits.  We had a fun session at Champoeg State Park.  Aiden went home and Jarae and I stayed to go for a run.  Win-Win.  Have a great senior year Aiden.  May God […]

Three Already


I met the Lindell family when their twins were about to turn one and they needed first birthday photos.  Two years and two more photo sessions later, their darling kiddos are three.  It is such an honor for me to help tell my clients’ stories through photographs and watch their families grow up. We shot their session at Brooks Wine, […]

the Frey’s (again)


Look who I got to photograph for the third year in a row?  I think they get cuter each year.  Thanks for another fun session Frey Family.  We love you guys. #jodistilpphotography #familyportraits #family #portraits #familyofsix

Ryan


Ryan and my son Grant have been good friends since 6th grade.  They’ve spent hours together dirt biking, water skiing, BMXing, skateboarding, wrestling, playing video games, swimming and all the other Boy Things that I forgot to mention.  They don’t play the same high school sports so their time together during the school year is limited, but they live it […]

Carissa


Carissa is one of my dearest friends.  We both uprooted our families and settled in the Portland metro area more than nine years ago.  We really should never have met, but God knew we needed each other.  We live forty minutes from each other in different areas of the Portland suburbs, but ended up choosing the same large church and […]
