" Working with Foster was a wonderful experience. Not only did the images turn out beautifully, but he was both professional and fun to work with. Foster has a wonderful eye for photography and I appreciated the creative side that he brought to the shoot. He was open to my ideas, but also helped plan out the concepts and shots. I often find photoshoots stressful, but his friendly and outgoing demeanor put me at ease and had me actually having fun. He was great at giving directions and helping with posing which helped me a lot. I also appreciated that he was conscientious of the sensitive nature of this style of photography, and he made sure I was comfortable. I would be happy to shoot with him again "

" Foster is a very professional, respectful, and communicative photographer, which is especially important when working in the realm of Boudoir. I generally prefer to work with female boudoir photographers, but I made the exception for Foster because his work is so beautiful, and I'm so glad that I did! I can't stand modeling, but I need to do it for my work, and Foster made it such a fun and enjoyable experience for me. I am often clueless as to how I should pose, but he was so great at directing me and making me feel comfortable so that I wouldn't be so stiff and serious. Most of all, I love that he has an editorial background and a creative mind—this led to us creating a story with each photo as opposed to just having me pose in sexy positions. He showed up on location and started rearranging the furniture and props in the various rooms to create the type of environment he wanted to capture. All I had to do was put on my outfits and be directed. He even fixed my hair and clothes during the shoot when they were out of place, which is something a lot of photographers I've worked with in the past haven't paid attention to. I highly recommend him and can't wait to do another shoot with him in the future! "

" This past month I got the opportunity of working with Foster Alden. He's more than just a photographer, he's an artist. He not only styled me but helped with minor makeup and hair. He knows what he's doing. It's not all up to the model. It indeed was a beautiful collaboration. His fashion sense is amazing. I stepped back into modeling after 8 years and two children later and in my thirties. I felt a little unsure of my abilities and my beauty walking into this photo photoshoot. He made me so comfortable. He was very positive, uplifting, and an absolute pleasure to work with. He never pushed me past my limits. He embraced who I was and we created beautiful art. I had a wonderful time shooting with Foster, I cannot wait to shoot with him again. "

Not only that, he has a fantastic eye for detail, and each shot is precise and intentional. It was a breath of fresh air to work with someone so dedicated and passionate, not just passively holding a camera, as well as someone who has a keen eye for artistic direction. It was a very enjoyable experience, and I highly recommend working with Foster. ”

" Working with Foster was an incredibly intimate, and beautifully delightful experience! The way he communicates and directs is unlike any other, and the amount of beautiful creativity displayed in each shot is remarkable. He was receptive to new ideas, mindful of my need to take breaks, and constantly encouraging throughout the whole shoot. I think we were both laughing and learning along the way. Each beautiful image holds a special place in my heart and I cannot wait to work with him again, he is truly a magical mastermind behind the lens, and I simply couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

" Foster was an absolute joy to work with. I was a bit nervous going into the shoot as I'm new to modeling, but after the first few shots he showed me, the nerves immediately disappeared. He always made sure I was comfortable with everything he had planned and made me feel like an absolute queen while shooting. It was such an empowering and freeing experience and I'm beyond grateful for his upbeat, accepting, and appreciative personality. He truly does see the beauty in people and has a deep passion for helping people see that same beauty in themselves. "

" My husband and I had played with the idea of doing an intimate photoshoot for quite some time, and I couldn’t think of a better opportunity to explore it than on our honeymoon this year! Bringing someone else into your bedroom is no small feat. It’s an intimate and vulnerable space that’s typically reserved for only you and your partner, so we wanted to be sure that we felt very comfortable with Foster before committing to working with him.
Before our shoot, we thought it would be nice to invite Foster to dinner with us and get to know him a bit more. He quickly put us at ease as he answered all our questions and we shared some good laughs. It was evident that he genuinely cares about who he works with, how they feel, and holding a safe space for everyone involved. It was so nice to feel we were all on the same page. When we met the morning of the shoot, Foster took the time to go over everything again and answer any of our last-minute questions. I’ll spare you the details, but we had such an amazing time! :)
The time shared with my husband while being photographed by Foster was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience. We barely knew he was there. When needed, and per our earlier requests, he verbally guided us throughout the shoot so he could capture our desired moments. He made us feel so comfortable and was completely professional. As things were wrapping up, he saw that we might benefit from some time alone, so he excused himself as we relished in our last moments together.
I had always wondered what went through my partner's mind during intimacy, how he viewed me, or what I looked like. Now, looking back through these beautiful photos, I no longer wonder if I look sexy in a certain pose, or how my face looks when he pleases me, or if he thinks I look hot when I do x, y, or z…I now know the answer to all of the above is simply YES!
Thank you Foster, for showing us through each other's eyes. "

" Foster was an amazing photographer to work with! I was a little nervous about the shoot but he did everything possible to make me feel comfortable. He met me prior to shooting so we could discuss his shot list so I knew what to expect. On the day of the shoot, if there was something I wasn't ok with, he just rolled with it never pressuring me past my point of comfort. He was encouraging and was able to bring out a side of me I had not experienced before. "

" Working with Foster is like creating magic, really. Every sneak peak between camera clicks was jaw-dropping. Nonetheless his eye is visionary and I’m utterly impressed with him professionally and personally. As a woman whose solely spent a life surrounded and loving women, shooting boudoir with Foster felt like cake. He has this ability to create an environment that’s fun, playful, safe and relaxed! I feel the most comfortable with him behind the camera every time, and it’s seemingly effortless to follow his direction. I look forward to shooting with you again and again, thank you from the bottom of my heart. "

" I didn’t know what to expect when going into the photo shoot with my friend. I was nervous and at first, felt uncomfortable with the idea of having any pictures taken of me. Thankfully, Foster was encouraging and understanding when it came to my comfort level. By the end of the shoot, I felt so much more confident and attuned with myself. The overall experience was phenomenal and irreplaceable. I look forward to doing it again. "
