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 Christine Campbell - Pet Portraits

Sean at Riverwood Photography is incredible. He has a real talent for photography, no matter what genre. My favourite of Sean's work, though, is his pet photography. I first met Sean through several of his philanthropic endeavours to help Oops-a-Dazy Rescue and Sanctuary Society raise money to help animals in need. He is kind and generous, and takes pride in his work. He is extremely professional and I would recommend him to anyone.


Testimonial from Roni-lil Shapka - Business Portrait

Sean made business profile pictures fun and gave me good input + touch ups to make my business profile picture much better than I could have imagined possible. I highly recommend his services. I also have many friends who have hired him for personal/couple/family photo shoots and they have been pleased with his work also.

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."

Client Reaction from a Children's Portrait Session

These look awesome! Now for the hard part – picking our favorites – there are so many! This could take a while…


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!!!"
