Do wolves photograph babies?

I traded my camera bag for a diaper bag and my boarding passes for a season passes to the zoo. Faster than I could say “What the?” I went from being a globe-trotting photographer to a stay-at-home dad. The first few days were admittedly ugly. I didn’t know how to change diapers, how to warm bottles and I had no idea why the baby kept crying. Yup, ugly.

Troutman Photography: Location Location Location

Indoor portrait sessions with Troutman Photography come with some very convenient perks that no other studio in the Willamette Valley offers. Let’s look at why our location is good for you.
Having our studio in such a beautiful building allows me to combine the freedom of outdoor photography with the predictability of a studio. We place our clients in a real world environment, not a 10 ft background and photograph their family interacting naturally as they would outdoors. This give us all of the benefits of an outdoor session without having to be concerned about the weather or worried about things - like traffic.

Pictures in the Fall Leave

Once again it’s fall in the Pacific Northwest and this year is shaping up to be spectacular. On deck in the very near future is an explosion of orange and red foliage that is going to be nothing short of epic. So NOW is the time to capitalize on nature's brief but dazzling display by having your family portraits taken in the fall leaves. If that sounds like a great idea or even something you were already planning then allow me to help you get the most out of your family's leafy adventure in portrait land by introducing you to an amazing new tool.

Fine, I admit it. Corvallis Rocks!

I freaking love Corvallis Oregon! For many years I treated that beautiful city like the allies treated Germany in World War II. Any runs I had to make into Corvallis were treated like covert operations with the main goal being to get in and get out before being spotted by enemy troops. But as my own family business required me to do more portrait sessions in Corvallis, my eyes began to open to the beauty and diversity that Corvallis has to offer. Everywhere you go, the town offers up amazing locations to photograph clients.
