Welcome to my Blog!

My name is Vicki Friesen and I'm a wedding and portrait photographer based out of Calgary, Alberta. This blog is a place where I'll post images of the lovely people I shoot, and also little random things like my favorite kitty in the whole world (Ginsung), or what I just ate for dinner...you know....random stuff! Feel free to leave some love in the comments section, that always makes my day!

Do you hear that sound? The sound of crickets chirping? Things around this blog have been pretty quiet…almost for a year in fact! Most people know that I took a year off to go to school and become a holistic nutritionist. I’m now working as a nutritional consultant but am also itching to get back into photography! The other day I had a session with one of my favorite families, the Ors. This family has been close to my heart and I was so excited to meet the little guy.

November 8, 2011 - 1:40 am Terilee - How fun was it to see a blog post after a year. Congratulations Erin he is beautiful. Crazy how we had boys so close together.

Carla + Mark

Some of you may recognize Carla as being a second shooter at weddings. She does an amazing job and also has her own company. One thing about being a photographer is you tend to not get many photos of yourself, so this winter she wanted some photos of her, Mark and their dog Odin in the snow. Here are some of my favorites from their session. Trying to get Odin to sit on the sled was not an easy feat! You can tell by his face he wasn’t too impressed.

January 21, 2011 - 1:22 pm Terilee - The ones in the snow are the best! I want snow pictures. The last one is my favorite.

December 31, 2010 - 12:38 pm Carla - THANK YOU Vicki!!! It was a lot of fun, and we love them all. Our favorite is the 5th from the bottom. It is already on the wall! :)

December 31, 2010 - 11:20 am Soph - So cute! I love the ones in the snow!

Yeung Family

Marie and I go waaay back, all the way to Grade 1. I remember listening to Bush X with her in junior high and watching the Men in Black music video over and over until we had the dance moves memorized. Yes, we were dorks. But we had fun! I hadn’t seen her in a few years since we graduated, so it was so exciting to be able to shoot her and her sweet little family back in the fall!

Poor Hayley was so cold but she was a trooper and still smiled for most of the shots!

January 1, 2011 - 11:11 pm Marie Yeung - Thanks again Vicki! The pictures turned out great! A cold but fun day!

Kendra & Marco

On this Thanksgiving weekend, I have SO much to be thankful for. One of the things I am so very grateful for is the amazing clients that I meet and get to work with. I think of them as my friends as something changes when I am able to be a part of their wedding day. Kendra and Marco are two people that were so warm and fun, and I was honored to be a small part of their event.  They got married on one of the hottest days we had in September and the weather and fall colors couldn’t have been more perfect. The ceremony took place at the Art Gallery of Calgary, which was such a wonderful venue. Here are my favorite images of the day…
