Merivale Photographic Studio

I am a partner in the Merivale Photographic studio, which means that I don’t own the studio, nor do I work there full time. Rather, I’m one of a small group of photographers who rent the space from studio owner by Robert McAlpine.

Where to Find Us

The studio located on the second floor of 1489 Merivale Rd, Nepean, ON, Suite 102. Parking is available in the back and bus stop 4489 (Merivale/Gilbey) is located just outside the front door and serviced by the 80 bus.

Studio Rental
