Hey there,
I can’t begin to thank you enough for checking out our news and blogs. As a small business owner here in Thunder Bay, I’ve come to appreciate just how much our success depends on the support of people like you—our clients, our neighbors, and the creative community that surrounds us. I’m incredibly thankful to be part of such a vibrant and supportive place.
As a photographer and filmmaker, I’ve had the privilege of capturing some amazing moments—from weddings and events to branding shoots, real estate tours, and everything in between. Some days, I find myself in the middle of a forest for a couple’s engagement shoot, and the next I’m flying a drone over a construction site for a commercial client. It’s a wild mix, and honestly, it’s a lot of fun.
For a long time, I kept most of those stories to myself. But it hit me one day—why not share them? That’s where this blog comes in. This is a space where I’ll be telling those stories, giving you a peek behind the lens, and sharing what goes into making the magic happen at Kirvan Photography + Film.
You’ll also find useful tips to help plan your own photo or video session, whether it’s for a big life event or your growing business.
Thanks again for stopping by. I hope you enjoy reading these updates as much as I’ve enjoyed living them. And if something catches your eye, don’t be shy—reach out. I’d love to connect.
Cheers,
Chad
