A Word From Tony & Geneen Miresse

It's been an honor to have been part of the Wisconsin photo community since 1967. We have stayed committed to our mission, "to exceed our customer's expectations for quality, service & value." Geneen and I are thrilled that Desmond, Devon & Craig share similar ideals and values which will ensure that Southeastern Wisconsin will have an amazing camera store for years to come!

We want to humbly thank our customers, many of whom we consider friends, for supporting us throughout the years at Art's. We have been blessed to have known you and appreciate the trust you've put in us to serve your photographic needs and help you make memories last through photography.

Desmond, Devon & Craig are dedicated to keeping the best of what we've built including our amazing team, and add the things that have made them one of the finest retail store operations in Michigan! And PLEASE, continue to support your local camera store!

With sincere appreciation,

Tony & Geneen Miresse

Introducing the New Owners

As the owners of CameraMall, Ann Arbor and recently acquired Woodward Camera in Birmingham, Michigan, we’ve been passionate about serving the Michigan photo community for a decade now. Our mission has always been to foster creativity, provide expert guidance, and offer the tools photographers need to capture life’s most meaningful moments. The business was founded by University of Michigan Graduate, Desmond, (Go Blue!) and Craig Kufta, when they saw there was a need for a camera store in Ann Arbor. We expanded in 2022 by acquiring Woodward Camera, (Est. 1969), from the original owner when he retired. Our reputation for kindness and unwavering commitment to customer service has established us as a trusted presence in Michigan, enabling us to build meaningful connections with other specialty photo dealers, who have confidently chosen us as their successors.

For 57 years, Art’s Cameras Plus has been a cornerstone of the Milwaukee community, and we’re honored to carry forward its legacy. Tony and Geneen, the store’s current owners, are retiring. They've built something truly special, and we’re committed to preserving the personal, expert service that has made the store a local favorite. While this marks the end of an era for Art Cameras Plus, it's the beginning of an exciting new chapter for the Midwest photo community and we're committed to offering the same expert service and personal attention you've come to expect.

Why We’re Doing This

The camera industry is evolving, and by uniting Art’s Cameras Plus with CameraMall and Woodward Camera, we’re better positioned to:

Offer an even wider range of product lines, services, and educational opportunities.
Invest in cutting-edge resources to meet the needs of modern photographers.
Strengthen the stability of all our stores, ensuring a bright future for the photography community and in-store shopping for mid-westerners.

Our Commitment

We’re photography enthusiasts at heart. From landscapes to portraits, and all the gear in-between, we love the craft and the community that makes it so special. With this expansion, our focus remains on fostering positive, supportive experiences for our customers, employees, and fellow photographers.

We’re looking forward to this new chapter and the opportunity to grow alongside all of you. Thank you for your continued trust and support—it’s what allows us to take this exciting step forward.

Here’s to capturing more memories together!

Desmond & Devon
