Hired Hugh to take some corporate photos for social media websites, business cards, etc. He had great ideas that I never would have thought backgrounds and shots. Hugh spent more than enough time with me to get a large sample of good pictures. I would highly recommended him to anyone.

Reviews Hugh Foster, Professional Photographer. Special Event Photographer The 1st b day is very important to Koreans. I'm going to have to update this post later because there are so many excellent points I'd like to make about Hugh Foster. He is a premier photographer who is extremely talented and versatile. His forte is portraiture and we hired him to make our daughter's first birthday party extra special. Photos are one of the best ways to memorialize those special moments. Memories fade and years from now, my daughter who won't remember her actual birthday, will be able to look back and be reminded of how very special she is to us. Hugh captured moments that only a patient and experienced photographer knowledgeable in the craft is able. We believe in health and fitness and so does Hugh. He has a positive energy, a professional attitude, and his demeanor is friendly. My guests and their many children were impressed with the way he interacted with everyone. He is PATIENT. Hugh waited for the right shots and knew when to take the picture. He snapped away and was able to walk away with several shots more than expected. He also captured moments of our friends’ children that I am going to have printed on high grade photo paper from a photo lab and send to them. These photos are frame worthy and artistic as far as the talented eye goes. He is PUNCTUAL. Hugh was right on time. Hugh arrived early for the event, scoped it out and did the same for our second venue. After the party we went to the Great Park with the big orange balloon and hangar and carousel. We had a blast taking photos. His set up and professional lighting made shots in difficult weather come out perfectly. He is PROFESSIONAL. The turnaround time for our photos was prompt and ahead of schedule. After the event, a professional has to go over the multitude of shots, and retouch them or use photoshop to clean up shots, crop, etc. Hugh knows how to efficiently work through to make sure it’s done. He had all the right EQUIPMENT. Hugh brought long and short lenses, two cameras, flash and lighting equipment, and a other professional equipment needed to get the shot. For those who know what it means to invest money in a photographer know that lighting is everything. Hugh knows what to do in bright sunshine, in the shade, and even knows how to make shadows work for the composition of the photo. I’m going to hire him again for sure. I also want to go to him for head shots. If Hugh has responded to your job post, then you need to book him immediately or you may miss out on a chance to hire him. He’s the One!

Hugh was the BEST! Especially if you have kids, he is the one who you need to hire. He was patient and also knew what would to do to "capture the moment"! My daughter's first headshot experience was super smooth and fun! Both my husband and I could not be happier with the session. He is genuine and an excellent photographer! We will be recommending him with confidence! Thank you Hugh! A.M.S.

Hugh was great to work with! He communicated well, his photographs were wonderful, and he worked within my budget. It's difficult to coordinate a photo shoot from another state when you don't know the photographer or the client. Thanks Hugh for making this so easy! I would definitely recommend Hugh.

We scheduled a family group photo of 20 people, 10 adults, 10 kids. Hugh noticed that the daylight outside was ideal and the background good, thus the group picture was taken in this setting and turned out very well considering children ranging in age from 14 to 10 months. I would recommend Hugh to anyone needing family photographs at a reasonable price.
