Family photographer Meinerzhagen: Juri Trotno blends calm guidance and years of experience to create authentic family, children and newborn photos — studio or homestory.
As a family photographer based in Meinerzhagen, I (Juri Trotno) have been creating authentic, expressive portraits since 2004. My goal is to craft "light images about someone, not of someone" — pictures that reveal personality, emotion and the unique bond within your family. Being a father of four informs my calm, patient approach, especially with children and newborns. I offer relaxed studio sessions in a spacious 100 m² studio equipped with a child‑friendly play corner, as well as homestory shoots that document real family life — quiet mornings, cozy moments on the sofa, playtime and interactions that tell your story. Outdoor shoots in the parks and surroundings of Meinerzhagen are also a frequent choice for natural light and candid results. Before every session we discuss your wishes and the best locations or looks. During the shoot I provide gentle direction so genuine moments can unfold naturally. For newborn photography I allow plenty of time and adapt to the baby’s rhythm to keep sessions stress‑free and safe. Quality matters from capture to print: I carefully edit images to preserve natural tones, deliver high‑resolution files on USB, and offer FineArt prints, canvases and albums — because for me a photo is only finished when it is printed. Whether it’s family portraits, children’s photography, newborns, baptism, communion or birthday sessions, my strength is a sensitive, creative and reliable service rooted in Meinerzhagen. I combine personal consultation, years of experience and a passion for emotional, expressive photography to ensure your family memories are captured beautifully and authentically.
