Client Testimonials

"Riverwood Photography and Sean in particular, professional, prompt and a sharp eye. Sean was helpful and honest on thoughts regarding clothing, eye glasses, and pose. He made me comfortable. Thank you!"

"Thank you Sean. I didn't know what I needed and your expertise and support produced incredible product shots for me. I really appreciated how quickly and easily my project became a team effort. I will definitely be returning when I need more photographs."

"I met Sean through a special needs school that I volunteer with. Sean has been donating his time & photographs to BTLC, an early childhood school for children with autism and other developmental needs, for years. He captures the kids so beautifully. His time and dedication to the school is inspiring. Naturally, I asked Sean to take headshots for my own business when I needed them and I am just thrilled how they turned out. He's awesome to work with."

"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."

"Sean was fun to work with and offered a number of excellent location options for my photo shoot. He really seemed to understand my purpose and branding to provide the best poses and mood for my photos. I am extremely happy with the quality of the photos, the options I had to choose from, and the speed with which he was able to return my finished photos."

"Sean was able to accommodate us on very short notice. We had a short magazine deadline if we wanted a free review of our product for the summer edition. The photos turned out fantastic! Crystal clear and just the right aspect."

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

"Sean does an excellent job and has great insights into what works best for his clients. He is efficient and provides great quality in his work. I have used him a few times for headshots and he has been fabulous to work with and the results are better than expected. Highly recommended."

I would highly recommend Sean of Riverwood Photography. He does excellent work with very quick turn-around. Sean knows how to get the best shot in a very short period of time and was great to work with. He also has a great system for booking appointments, viewing images and paying for his services.

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!

You made me feel comfortable getting my picture done, as I am not photogenic! Thanks again. It was a pleasure meeting with.

"Sean was really easy to work with. He was quick, efficient and effective. I had my head shots in 2 days.

Thank you"

"It had been a number of years since I updated my professional pictures. I contacted Sean again as I remember the experience being very professional and efficient. He's a pro and knows what works. He made great suggestions and the end result was just what I was looking for. Thanks again Sean!"

"Great value and efficient service for any business. We have been very pleased with Sean's work for our products and will continue to use his services moving forward. Quick turn around too when you're on a deadline!"

Sean has come to our office many times to complete headshots. Sean creates great pictures with the right lighting and backgrounds for everyone. Sean is professional and puts everyone at ease right away while creating an atmosphere that allows to create someone's natural smile and beauty to shine through his wonderful pictures.

Everyone who has used Sean's services has received wonderful compliments about their photo. I would recommend Sean's services to anyone!

"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!!!"

"Sean took some amazing pics of our shop and with our staff. He was able to work around our customers as we were busy at the time. Very proficient and professional. He also did something impossible and was able to get a good head shot of me;)"

"Sean knows his art and translates his visual skills into his images very artistically. A job always well done! Keep up the great work Sean. Look forward to working with you again."

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.

"Highly professional, great end result, no negative surprises, met our unique needs every step of the way and most importantly a great value for the amount of money spent for the service. Thank you Sean., We will be back for more after our renovations are complete."
