Testimonial from Business Portrait Client Kathleen Atkinson

Professional Business Portraits for Kathleen Atkinson

"I spent many hours researching headshot photographers in and outside of Calgary. I chose Sean because his website stood out as the most professional and the most helpful.

My personal experience with Sean, both the photo shoot and the end result, was equally positive. Sean is professional and well organized in the way he conducts his business. And as a photographer he was responsive to my specific needs and requests. And he was a real pro in helping me, a camera shy person, relax and enjoy the photo shoot.

When I received my proofs, I had the happy task of having to choose between a number of excellent photographs."

Testimonial from Pat Roberts - Grandmother

The pictures are absolutely wonderful, brought me to tears. And of course, I want all of them, which I know is ridiculous, but that's how Nanny's behave as you probably know! You have a gift indeed to capture simple, beautiful moments. Of course the material you had to work with was high quality!

Testimonial from Lauren - Trash the Dress and Engagement Photography

When Sean first suggested a "Trash the Dress" photo shoot to me I thought it could be interesting but I wasn't quite sure what I was getting myself into. My husband and I love the mountains and after tossing around a few ideas Sean suggested hiking Cirque Peak. Cirque Peak is my favourite hike in the Banff area and I was so excited when Sean suggested it. Sean was an excellent sport and lugged a large amount of camera gear on a 16 km hike that ended at an elevation just under 10,000 ft. Sean was willing to go the extra mile to give us pictures that actually show who we are.   Now my trash the dress photos are my favourite photos of the two of us. When people ask to see our wedding pictures I tend to skip over the actual wedding and jump right to the photos that Sean did for us. Sean was amazing to work with and gave us photos that I don't think anyone else could have.


Testimonial from Headshot Event Photography Client Christa Hiebert

Headshots for the Association of Administrative Professionals

"Sean from Riverwood attended our Association of Administrative Professionals dinner meeting to perform headshots for all attendees. He was skillful and receptive to what I wanted to get out of my headshot. I would most certainly use Sean again, overall fantastic experience and great pictures to last a lifetime!"

Testimonial from Pet Portrait Client Judy Lach

Calgary DogFest 2016

"Attended a very busy Calgary DogFest with the intention of having updated family photos with the dogs. The group involved a senior, 2 adults, 1 mini dog and 2 giant dogs. Sean gave us some direction on placement and cues and it was so much fun. In the short session time we had many incredible poses done. In a couple of days we had the finished images ............ incredible, I'm so happy with them. Sean is a great talent to capture 6 moving targets and produce such candid images to treasure those moments in life. Catching a dog winking, OMG Ahhhhh. Thank you so much, I will highly recommend and use your service again."

Testimonial from Corporate Event Photography Client Kelly Hudson

"Working with Sean and his crew at Riverwood Photography was a very pleasant experience. From the first point of contact to the event itself and the post event follow up, everything was as smooth as I could possibly hope for. He worked an entire event with a real time printer for our photos and everything was top quality. I would highly recommend Sean for any events or photography needs. Thanks Sean for a great experience, phenomenal job!"

Testimonial from Helen Gilbertson

I can't thank Sean enough for getting my headshot done for me quickly, professionally and comfortably. He made the whole process very easy and was so accommodating. I started the session with "by the way I hate getting my picture taken" and ended the shoot laughing and extremely relaxed. And, the pictures look great. Thank you Sean.

Testimonial from Musician Sam McNally

"The whole deal was low-stress and quite honestly a lot of fun! Sean was very insightful in helping me achieve the exact picture I wanted to represent me. An excellent experience all around!"

Testimonial from Calgary Portrait Client Maria S

"We used Sean for a LinkedIn profile picture and a family picture. As soon as we reached his studio, he made us feel welcome and at ease, and gave us a whole bunch of really good suggestions. We actually had a great time doing the photo shoot, and to top it of, the results were fantastic. There were so many good shots to select from that the selection process became extremely difficult (which is a good thing:)) We needed these pictures processed fairly quickly, and Sean was extremely cooperative about it. All in all, it was a great experience. Thanks so much Sean!!!"

"This was such a wonderful experience! Not only did Sean listen to what I wanted, but was also able to give tips along the way to make sure I got exactly what I had imagined in my head, even if I didn't have the words for it initially. The ease of working with Sean is also incredible. He makes it fun and comfortable, all while getting amazing results. He is up to date with technology usage, so it is a breeze getting your pictures back. He blew me away, and I am happy to recommend him to anyone."

"Professional and skilled photographer. Friendly, personable and easy to work with. I appreciated that Sean accommodated the short notice rush on my head-shots. I believe his photographs captured my personality and authenticity. This was especially important to me as a speaker and writer. I would wholeheartedly recommend Riverwood Photography! Streamlined, efficient and exactly what I wanted. Thank you!"
