Cannot say enough wonderful things about this person. A true professional, talented phenom and utter sweetheart

Elizabeth Logan

She took the time to explain the light and angles, which made it easier for a novice to learn how to work with the camera and help her out with the difficult task of getting a lovely photo of me. Katherine worked magic and gave me some wonderful shots.

My session with Katherine was absolutely amazing. Her direction during my photoshoot resulted in the best images I have ever received. I was able to learn from her and enjoy the experience.

Katherine was an absolute pleasure to work with we shot a collaboration for apt22 for promo and lookbook photos for new fall looks and Katherine is an amazing photographer with a beautiful eye for photography would highly recommend her to anyone

Mandy Lunn

I highly recommend Katherine Calnan Photography. As someone who has never considered myself photogenic and who always gets an uncomfortable look on my face as soon as a camera is pointed at me, I was absolutely stunned by Katherine's ability to quickly teach me the angles that compliment my face. My photo session with Katherine not only provided me with amazing photos for my corporate profile, but her tutorials during the session have provided me with the ability to take a good photo the next time someone points a camera at me unexpectedly, ahaha!

Andrea Marsh (Fitnessmama14)

Beyond amazing!!! There really isn't much else to say other than speechless!!! When going to Katherine for my maternity photos she was just amazing. I've never felt confident or beautiful during either of my pregnancies and she has a way of capturing that 'pregnancy glow' everyone says you have that I've never felt...that is until I saw the most beautiful images she took of me and how she made me feel confident and gorgeous all the while being 9 months pregnant and uncomfortable in my own skin. You'd never know it after having a photo sesh with her passion, inspiration and genius!!!! I can't even begin to thank her enough as I so cherish the moments captured with not only my growing belly but also my oldest daughter. Much love and thanks to this very wonderful mama and photographer!

S Gouthro

Katherine made be feel very comfortable during our head shot session! The pictures came out beautifully. Highly recommended photographer!!

Faith M

I had my twin daughters experience a full day photoshoot with Katherine. It was the best experience ever for them, as they were discovering and learning about photo modeling and the ins and outs of photography best practices, and all the team, including the make up artist, the kimono stylist, and myself. Everyone really enjoyed the relaxed yet very professional ambiance. I recommend Katherine to all the parents, as she is amazing with children, as much as she is with adults photography.

steven landry

She was very friendly working with a young fashion model even tells us how we can help help her practice at home when she gets new dress. Showed us some little way how we can work on her social and ways to improve it as a bonus.

Mr. Ireri

I felt that we got amazing images. Very professional attitude and inspiring direction towards the poses. Great Job!

Raman Sawhney

I had the pleasure of working with Katherine for a corporate photoshoot. She was very kind, professional and had such positive energy. I am beyond happy with the photos and can’t wait to work with her again in the future!

K Li

Katherine is very nice and tries out all kinds of poses until you're happy with the photos and she makes you feel very at ease. Honestly, they were all pretty good and I had a lot of fun!

Chris DeVere

I've worked with Katherine a few times...and Katherine's beautiful personality, professionalism, friendly-ness, eye for detail, and glamorous style is truly incredible. As a model, blogger, and actress pictures are key to my success. She has taken the most incredible headshots for my acting - and amazing photos to add to my model portfolio. She knows how to get the best shot every time I'm blown away that she captures my best side.

shantal zoto

The most incredible photographer in the world! She makes you extremely comfortable, gives great direction and allows you to try new things. I highly recommend her to anyone!!!!!

Brenda Rad

I had a great time with Katherine. I was worried about the timing but she was so easy going and I did not feel rushed. I really liked how I got to see the photos as we went along. I normally don't like professional photos of myself as I tend to think I look awkward or off somehow. But I just recieved all the proofs and I'm having a hard time choosing among them! I definitely wanted to look myself and not like those filtered versions and Katherine definitely nailed it!

Evangeline Zak

Katherin Calnan is by far the most talented and fun to work with photographer I have met. I work in this industry doing makeup, and I am always 100% happy with how she captures the models, as well as her editing process. Absolutely recommend her for any fashion shoot.

Robyn Seetal

I has a wonderful experience working with Katherine! Her professionalism and ability to create a welcoming environment for the photoshoot was fantastic.

Kirstie Boyle

Katherine is hands down the most talented photographer in Alberta. Our organization has contracted her for over 60 professional headshots and we wouldn't use anyone else! She is professional, organized, and makes everyone feel very comfortable. She takes the time to coach each person in posing and because of her extra care and attention to detail the images capture everyone's best features. I highly recommend Katherine!

Natasha Hobbs

Katherine is a superior photographer with the ability to take a normal everyday working mom's photo and make her look like a movie star!! Thanks Katherine, I am looking forward to having you do family portraits for me this summer:)

A C

Thank you for the great photos Katherine Calnan!

Tiffiny Yaxley

Katherine is fantastic to work with, not only does she help you pose, she tells you why you have to stand in such a weird way to make the shots look great. It was very helpful for me to understand why posing feels so weird. Her hair and makeup artist is very friendly and highly skilled. Overall great experience!

arlind hox

An absolute pleasure to be photographed by Katherine. Quality, timeless shots and professional, accommodating communication throughout. I'm a fan of the elegant, intuitive platform she uses, too.

Angela Chios

Katherine is an incredibly talented photographer and is amazing to work with! I initially worked with Katherine to coordinate corporate portraits for staff. She is so professional, attentive, friendly and radiates positive energy. Aside from everything mentioned above, she does an amazing job helping you feel comfortable in front of the camera. After seeing her awesome work, I reached out to see if she would do my engagement photos. She was so accommodating for our engagement photo shoot, making time in her busy schedule and offering her insight on location, attire, etc. The day of our photo shoot was a lot of fun. Throughout the session she would show us the photos to ensure we were happy with the outcome and also help us pose and feel comfortable in front of the camera. After the session, we received the photos right away. We were absolutely blown away by her amazing work! Her photos captured the moments perfectly and we are so happy with the overall experience. :) If you are looking for a photographer, I would highly recommend Katherine! She has an eye for photography and adds her own unique flare. Thanks again Katherine for making our engagement shoot so special! :)

Wonderful. Katherine is genuine and warm kind and lovely. I attended a class on the basicis of photography and could not be more satistfied.

I am very impressed and will be attending more classes in the future.

I did a photo session with Katherine this past weekend and it was a really fun experience.

I feel like I came away with a greater appreciation for models and photographers. - Patience: I very much commend her patience with respect to getting the shots we want. Some photographers are driven by the clock, I appreciated that Katherine is driven by quality. - Personality: Wonderful energy and enthusiasm from the start to end. I have followed her work for a few years. Grateful that when I finally had a session with her, it was better than expected. If you follow her work, you can clearly see that her love for photography shines through in her work.

Absolutely life changing photography experience. Katherine is warm and helpful as well as very talented. I felt so comfortable with her and learned a lot at the same time.

Tammy Cho

Katherine is absolutely incredible! She came to photograph our newborn son within the first week and a half of his birth, and made the experience very memorable and enjoyable. It's definitely not easy to capture all the special moments with an unpredictable baby, but her patience, professionalism, and love for her work showed through in every image. She knows how to get the best angles and the results are absolutely gorgeous. Even the final packaging of the folio was impressive! You will not regret hiring Katherine to capture your special occasion, and I can't wait to work with her again! Thank you Katherine!!

Katherine did an amazing job in a quick, 10 minute shoot, to capture a professional, yet me, headshot!

Corinne Yon

My daughter Ashley scheduled a photo shoot with Katherine for her portfolio pictures. She didn’t have a lot of photo shoot experience and Katherine’s expertise was so helpful.

Ashley is looking forward to working with her again soon!

A Marie

I've used Katherine Calnan photography services on numerous occasions. From by business card portrait head-shot picture, to my engagement pictures, as well as few lifestyle photography shoot. She never fails to find my good side and always makes me feel beautiful! I think it's important for people to know the woman behind the camera. From the moment I met her, and she made me feel relaxed, and not feel awkward. she is amazing, professional and very attentive. If you're looking for a photographer to simply point and shoot, and take "ok" pics, she is not your person. However, if you want someone to understand YOU or capture the "beauty " in you, and make you feel like a million bucks....and fabulous then look no further. I will highly recommend her, and katherine Calnan photography is one of the best, top, portrait, fashion, editorial photographer based in Calgary and always recommend her to friends and family and I will continue to use her services. 5 star.

Casey Van Maanen

Couldn't be happier booking a photoshoot with Katherine. She guides you on how to pose for certain angles and lighting, sets aside time to review all of the photos taken, and is really personable. As I went through the portfolio Katherine had sent afterwards, there wasn't a single shot I didn't like. Looking forward to scheduling another session!

Lauren Diederichs

I highly recommend Katherine!
