I know Jerry Wachter was hired by the Orioles in 1970 to take Oriole pictures, but think it was left to Tadder and Associates to take the portraits and team pictures.

I don't know if Mort Tadder himself was taking photos up until 1998/99, but I do know 1998 or 1999 was the last year I was able to get the Tadder 8x10 glossy head shot photos, with names printed, from the Orioles office. Some of those photos continued to have Tadder on the front. At that time, you could go up to the O's office in the warehouse and hand the lady at the desk a list of players you wanted and she would get them for you. They were $2 per photo. I miss the simpler times.
Here are the last couple Cal Ripken photos I picked up from 1998/99.
