Kira Nelson Photography Blog bio picture

Welcome to my blog.

I grew up playing for endless hours in wheat fields, and abandoned barns, exploring the vast expanse of my childhood farm.  Inevitably this lead to a life filled with adventure, fun and a lot of imagination.   All of my adventures have found their way into the expression of my photography and I love being able to express myself and my view of the world through the lens of my camera.  

I am inspired by fashion, as well as vintage & nostalgic surroundings... mixed with my unique style my images are young, fresh, fun and modern.

If you would like to get in front of my camera, and create images that are uniquely you, feel free to  shoot me an email.  I can't wait to hear from you!

Cheers!
Kira Nelson

A Conversation with George W. Bush: Saskatoon, SK

Well just another day, another President…

What a crazy day we had!  Yesterday  Robin and I were the Official Photographers for A Conversation with George W. Bush at TCU Place put on by the fabulous Andy McCreath from tinePublic.  WAY TO GO!!  It was a great honor and experience to meet the 43rd President of the United States.  Our shot even made front page of the Star Phoenix!  He was witty and funny and seemed to have a genuine interest in the people he met in the VIP room before the event.  We did a photo line of 110 people in under 15 minutes. Whew! If you are one of these special attendees you can click here to download your image as a souvenir of the day.

George gave a 45 min speech followed by a 45 min Q &A with Brett Wilson.  It was so interesting to hear him talk candidly about his family, life after the White House and his point of view while President.

I can truly say I did not know what to expect yesterday, but I was pleasantly surprised by how Human he really was, by that I mean he was candid, funny and genuine.  And no matter what your opinion is of him is, you left there feeling something. For some they were confused, some excited, but I think most left TCU Place feeling that hey maybe he’s not that bad.

Here are some of the highlights of the day…

Here I am with the President, people who know me well will not be surprised how ‘up close and personal I got in this photo’ … oops!
