BY APPOINTMENT ONLY - SORRY NO WALK-INS
CAPURING OTTAWA BEST SMILES FOR 44 YEARS
Our Ottawa Photo Studio Blog
It has always been my life's dream to write a blog so I could share my inner most thoughts... Ya OK not really. It's just random stuff that I find interesting or amusing, well hopefully amusing. The day to day goings on in one of the oldest photo studios in the Ottawa area, well maybe the planet. They tell me photographers are in business on average about eighteen months before they pack it in and get a real job. Well this one is run by a cynical dyslexic that has somehow made a go of it for over forty years. Yes that surprises me too.
