Phillip Friesen

Phillip passed away Oct. 3, 2012 after a short battle with cancer. He was my brother-in-law and best friend for almost 40 years. He is missed more than I ever thought possible but I know he is in a much better place, home with our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

Having traipsed along with my husband Phill, and my brother Skip the past few years, as they have pursued and grown as professional photographers, I was being continually exposed to proper composition and photographic technique.  They have been patient teachers, and I discovered my own love for nature and landscape photography as I developed under their encouragement; it has been a delight to embark on this  creative journey.

Phillip and I  lived  in northern California.  We have three children and 10 grandchildren.

Hi and thanks for checking us out.

It is without a doubt that if it were not for my brother-in-law Phill's encouragement  and  guidance I would not be here today. If I have anything here of value it's because I listened to him.

I retired in 2005 and that's when I really got fired up for Photography. I started by going to the beach to shoot surfers and that turned into a small internet business.
After a couple years of shooting surfers Phill encouraged me to branch out and join him and Kitty in nature photography. Since then the three of us have been going on nature shoots whenever
possible.
