Photography is a rapidly developing field, but it is still a special art form and the best way to capture a feeling, a moment, and a memory. Art’s Cameras Plus has also been through some great changes in its 50-year history, and we’re proud to say we’ve helped thousands of people take the pictures that tell their unique stories.

Our story is unique, too. Our business was founded by Arthur Miresse in 1967—in the age of film, and before pictures could be snapped and shared in an instant. We remember the pop of old flashbulbs, dark rooms, and slide projectors. We recall the days of waiting and wondering if pictures “turned out.” We still love film and prints, but we’ve developed as well. We appreciate how digital technology has changed our industry. Photography is no longer just for photographers: it’s a part of everyone’s life, and we want to enhance your experience with it.

Services That Go Beyond Camera Sales and Equipment

That said, we have something for everyone’s lifestyle—from point-and-shoot cameras and smartphone accessories for novices to the most advanced lenses and lighting equipment for professionals. Whether you’re just getting started or getting serious, we can help you choose the best equipment from Nikon, Canon, Sony, and more. Best of all, we are one of only a few brick-and-mortar stores in the entire region still dedicated exclusively to our trade. Art’s Cameras Plus is known as a destination for a full range of photographic and imaging needs, offering so much more than sales. Equipment repairs, rentals, printers, scanning services, restoration, and memory rescue are some of our lesser known, but important offerings. At a time when technology, discount retailers, and online shopping have forced so many physical camera shops to close their doors, we are going strong and looking forward to our next 50 years.

We encourage you to stop in and meet our team of Certified Photographic Consultants (CPCs), who are photographers first and consultants second. We love what we do, and offer a level of service, selection, and support you just can’t find anywhere else:
