About

Hi, I’m Kira, the eye behind the cam.

Almost 8 ago, I moved to San Francisco with the dream of doing something different. A native of Pennsylvania and a post-college resident of New York City, San Francisco paved a new creative path for me. I started Nuena Photography in 2007 and have been shooting ever since.

My background is in retail and marketing and I’ve also worked in graphic design, web development and social media.  You can connect with me and learn more about my professional background on LinkedIn HERE.

Nuena Photography specializes in pets and animals, embracing both a modern studio aesthetic as well as unique on-location portraiture, resulting in fun, priceless moments of your pet’s unique personality.

My work has been seen far and wide, including BARK Magazine, 7×7, California Home+Design, SanFrancisco, Rolling Stone, DRAFT, Food&Wine, Barron’s series of dog breed books and more.

You can often find me shooting pet-related events in the Bay Area, and photographing adoptable dogs for Muttville Senior Dog Rescue. I love helping out as much as I can and San Francisco is an amazing place to be a “dog person”!

I’m absolutely in love with creating fun, memorable images that people will love and cherish forever!

I love what I do!
