Grab metadata from images and save to file, batch mode

I have a directory (and sub-directories) full of images that I want to cycle through and grab certain metadata values and save those values to a single row in a cvs file. I would like to tack on the full path name to the row as a separate value.

Folder
C:\Images\Family
Brother.jpg
Sister.jpg
Mom.jpg

Keys/Values
Original Date/Time
User Name
File Name

Thus, data might look like this in a Family.csv file
2014:11:10 13:52:12; BillyBob111; Brother.jpg; C:\Images\Family\Brother.jpg
2015:10:54 11:45:34; BillyBob111; Sister.jpg; C:\Images\Family\Sister.jpg
2010:10:31 19:22:11; SallySue232; Mom.jpg; C:\Images\Family\Mom.jpg

Big time noob. Much of what I have read cites command line examples dealing with single files and no info as to how to extract specific keys and their values.
What module would some of you users recommend I use (I want it to be python as that is what I am trying to learn)

Can you give me some coding suggestions to get me goings? I haven't found any substantive scripts to use as guides.

Many thanks in advance
