Client Testimonials

"The process to get a corporate headshot was seamless. Sean was able to accommodate my request on short notice and was very easy to work with. The final photograph and the whole process exceeded my expectations. I would not hesitate to recommend Riverwood Photography to family, friends, and colleagues. Thank you!"

"We recently engaged Sean to do a corporate event shoot for us which can be extremely difficult due to the varying light factors and all the fast moving parts of an event that require a quick and exact eye.

Sean was extremely professional and was able to catch each moment and scene to my expectation creating a story board that was a true reflection of the event.

The mark of a great photographer is being able to recognize and capture the shots that will bring the viewer into the moment, as well as experience the moment even if they had not attended the event. Sean was able to do this effortlessly. I would not hesitate to recommend him for future projects."

"Sean was very professional, friendly and patient. He offered valuable suggestions for poses and backdrops suitable for business and social media. The promptness and ease of the whole process made the experience pleasant from the booking through to the photo selection. I would definitely recommend Sean to my colleagues."

Working with Sean and Riverwood was great. At the session Sean was very professional and knew how to get the shot and look that I was after. The turnaround time to get the pictures was quick and I am very happy with them. I would recommend Riverwood to anyone that is looking for a great business portrait.

Very professional and easy to work with. Took the time to properly set up the equipment and lighting to get the best result. Quick turnaround of finished image.

"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!!!"

"I really enjoyed working with Sean for profile pictures. He was very helpful, completely up to date on what is needed for a professional profile picture and I am very happy with the results. Thanks Sean!"

I picked up my pictures today (3 picture wall panel and basic print package) and just wanted to let you know how THRILLED I am with the finished product. You really captured Charlie in the photos and they're a wonderful keepsake. I had specified a few changes to the wall panel and it turned out beautifully. Thanks so much for the great service!

"Sean made what could be a tedious process enjoyable and painless."

"Sean was professional yet friendly and casual. The process was easy, and the turn around was quick."

Sean is a true professional. When he arrived in our office he was efficient, flexible to work in a non-ideal space, and made everyone feel at ease. All of his processes - booking, file sharing, payment, etc - were seamless and simple for anyone to use. The finished photos arrived in only a few days, were of exceptional quality, and despite many qualms before the sessions about "being unphotogenic" everybody on my team was very happy with the outcome. I will absolutely use Sean in the future and will recommend to others to do the same!

"I have used Sean's services twice, once for my LinkedIn and once for a website and I was very pleased on both occasions. He is professional, friendly and fast. And the work speaks for itself."

"Riverwood photography has done it again. Sean is friendly, professional, and has excellent customer service. I had some photos taken about three years ago and came back for another excellent service experience. The photographs were excellent. I have no reservation whatsoever recommending Riverwood photography to anyone interested in a great experience and outstanding work. Sean, thanks a million for an excellent job."

"As long as I can remember, I have loved photography but have never enjoyed having my own photo taken, whether it be by a professional or otherwise. It usually shows in the finished product as my expression caught on camera is often forced, and unnatural in my view.

I really enjoyed my shoot with Sean. We knew each other before the shoot which helped put me at ease. I sense his approach would work on those who he has not met before as well.

My shoot with Sean was fun. I had a lot of great shots to choose from. It was difficult to choose the final product.

I network a lot in the Calgary marketplace and the comment I get often is, "you look just like your photo". I use my headshot on my website social media platforms. "Instant recognition" is important to me.

I am a small business owner who relies heavily on organic networking and marketing methods. Face to face contact is key. Having people recognize me has started many a great conversation. This has led to increased business and referral opportunities.

I am a strong believer that a great headshot is an important part of a personal brand. I recommend Sean Phillips and Riverwood Photography wholeheartedly to provide great service at a great price."

"I had my business head shots done by Sean recently. This was the first time working with Sean and I was very impressed with the quality of his work and fast turn around time."

"You can trust Riverwood Photography to get the picture you want for a great first impression!"

"I wanted a professional headshot for my LinkedIn profile and I really don't like having my picture taken but what a great experience! Sean made it a breeze and I love my new photo. It was actually hard to choose between the selection that I got in the end. Highly recommend!"

My experience with Riverwood Photography was FANTASTIC! I felt so comfortable and relaxed and I love my photos!!!!

"Sean met us off-site to do head shots and several group shots of our Financial Planning Team. He was able to direct us, keep it fun and navigate the foot traffic to get the best photos that really show us off in our best light. His service was superb and we are more than impressed with the photo-taking experience and the end product that he provided."

"Great working with my dogs. The pictures turned out great. Would definitely recommend getting your pictures done here."
