North County San Diego fam! If you are in need updated professional headshots or corporate…read moreheadshots, branding photos, or are even just in need of a LinkedIn profile pic refresh-- you NEED to book Zoetic Photography. I put all my headshots to use in the first 24 hrs I got them back and have already gotten tons of unexpected compliments. I truly can't recommend them enough. 5 stars and 10/10! I found myself in a pinch when I was asked to provide a new headshot for an upcoming industry panel I was speaking on. Lindsey and Chad (husband & wife power couple duo behind Zoetic) completely saved the day. They were warm, professional, and somehow managed to squeeze me in last-minute without hesitation which I was so thankful for. We did the session at their home studio in San Marcos and the vibe was a lot more calm and relaxing than I expected. A pleasant surprise and contrast to previous typical stiff and awkward studio experiences I've had in the past with other photographers and had been dreading. As someone who's naturally uncomfortable on camera, I was blown away by how quickly Lindsey helped me feel at ease. She offered thoughtful direction without overdoing it, and her ability to spot those subtle, natural moments is a real gift. Chad has a great eye for photography. He is able to skillfully capture the best version of you with aesthetic lighting and optimal angles in the most natural and flattering ways, without making it look cheesy or fake. I walked in stressed and walked out excited, knowing that there was a gallery of headshots I was genuinely excited to use. THE final professional headshots were polished, clean, and versatile. They were perfect for everything I needed: LinkedIn profile, team photos for my company, industry conference bios, panel speaker promotions, branding, and press kits. They even went above and beyond during the editing process. I was embarrassed to have a few touch-up requests since the photos were going to be used for high-visibility opportunities, and Lindsey was incredibly thoughtful about every detail. I felt heard, supported, and 100% taken care of. What really stood out was the energy they brought to the whole experience. Supportive, collaborative, and easy. I never felt rushed, overly posed, or like I was ever just another booking. Lindsey and Chad genuinely care about making sure you walk away with photos that feel like YOU... just elevated. Since posting my new headshot, I've gotten so many compliments from coworkers, industry peers, and even friends I hadn't talked to in months. (And no this is not an exaggeration haha. But really when is the last time someone texted you out of the blue just to say "your new LinkedIn photo is amazing"?!) If you're looking for a sign to finally get updated headshots, this is it. Zoetic Photography is the real deal. Will def hire them again in the future for my next headshot refresh and other photography needs.

A year later, she took our family's pictures for our son's one year birthday (cake smash) as well as for the holiday cards. She has a studio at her home with plenty of snacks while you do your sessions. It's also heated for those chillier winter months. The props she has are amazing and add a lovely style to her photos. She has a natural talent for finding perfect poses and the experience to get great angles. She also does locations other than her studio for photo shoots. For our maternity pictures we were at the beach and for our family pics we went to a hiking trail. She's able to taylor yo meet your needs. Her turnover to get pictures back to you is always quicker than she stated which is so lovely (especially when you want to get out holiday cards!) I highly recommend Jessica for her stellar services!

We were quite nervous, as our son isn't exactly always cooperative, but Jessica wasn't frazzled in the least, and just totally put our minds at ease. Even though it seemed like our son cried for most of the shoot (toddlers!), Jessica promised she got tons of great shots of him smiling, and she DID! We were so pleasantly surprised when we saw the photos, ha! Jessica was fantastic to work with from the very beginning, offering lots of help with wardrobe choices, location choices, etc. We couldn't be happier with the outcome of our photoshoot and can't wait to hire Jessica again for more photos :) Thank you, Jessica!!!!

My wife and I hired Audrey Rose to do a photo session with our puppy a few years ago. She did an…read moreamazing job at a very fair price that included photo editing like the removal of a leash/collar from the puppy's neck in one of the photos. I'm using a photo from that session as my profile photo. I always forget her business name, so I'm posting this review so that I can refer to it whenever anyone asks me who took our puppy photos that are on our walls. I've recommended Audrey Rose many times to friends and would use her services again if I needed a professional photographer.

A photo session with Audrey is as wonderful as it gets! I met Audrey Christmas before last when…read moreshe generously volunteered her time photographing pets with Santa for our mutual vet, The Drake Center. All proceeds went directly to one of our local shelters that does amazing work helping pets find homes. She held a drawing for families who brought their pets in for a full photo session and our family was one of the lucky winners. We had our full family (two leggeds and four leggeds) photographed with her a few months later and it was truly an amazing experience. Audrey's professionalism and talent are beyond compare, but what really made her stand out in my mind was her ability to "read" our family and capture us just as we are. An example of this is our youngest daughter, who can tend to be a stinker when she's nervous or out of her element. Audrey was completely patient with her and waited until she was able to relax enough to be photographed. We weren't rushed in any way - she took her time and got some amazing shots of our girls, our pets and our whole family. I have come to love Audrey, not only for her professional talent, but for her personality and spirit. She is wonderful to work with but even better to know.

She was very professional and responsive by text and email. The newborn shoot took place at her home studio. She had lots of options for wraps, props, colors, etc. Christy was so patient with our little one, especially when he woke up and got fussy and needed a feeding mid-shoot. She was very careful and gentle with him when positioning him for the photos and worked with his natural tendencies, even when it wasn't the normal way she was used to positioning babies with her light source, etc. She took as much time as needed to get pictures that we would be happy with. She accommodated our color and style preferences well. We received a link to the photo gallery in about a week and a half and the digital files less than a week after selecting a package and submitting payment. The pictures came out amazing and will be such precious memories of our little guy. Pricing seemed standard for this type of work. She also waived the session fee for a maternity photo shoot when booking both a maternity and newborn shoot. I highly recommend Christy for newborn photos!

We were…read morelucky enough to find him on Yelp for our engagement photos, and in mid-November of 2024 he braved the chill of Palomar Mountain to take spectacular photos of us. Nonstop compliments from friends and family, and received much quicker than anticipated. Once we got into wedding planning, Shaun was the obvious choice for our photography needs. Along with his second shooter Jess (Jessica Christie Photography), he again knocked it out of the park. Couldn't have asked for more perfect photos. On a more personal note, Shaun is the above-and-beyond type of person to take the absolute best shots possible. Like, fixing the boutonniere on my suit himself for the exact right angle, or gently shoo'ing away stinkbugs while helping my wife to re-tie her wedding shoes type of person. His passion and dedication for his craft are inspiring, and I guarantee if you don't love being in photos as a general rule (like myself) he will absolutely put you at ease and make it look like you've been modeling all your life. Thank you for everything Shaun, from the bottom of our hearts.

During our engagement session I think we worked them for the entire time we were entitled to. Three different locations all over San Diego County. Never once did they complain. Finally, for our wedding, they worked their butt off and produced photos that were beautiful and Instagram worthy. Being "customers for life" Holly shot our Christmas photos as well.
