Here For You.

Michael Willems Photo Inc., located in Place d'Orleans Shopping Centre in Orleans, Ottawa, is your locally owned, independent community photography store.

Positioned right next to Hudson's Bay on the main level, the studio/store is easy to reach and offers studio portraiture, photo printing (from do-it-yourself kiosks for your cellphone photos to handmade "giclée" prints, and the best quality canvas, metal and acrylic prints), photography courses, photo restoration services, scanning and conversion, and ready-made wall art. We also carry a selected range of flash– and other accessories.

Michael, John, Rose, Maroua, Alex, and Andrea are all photographers - and are all here to make it simple for you. Come into the store and ask: we will be delighted to advise and assist.
