This review is long overdue! Nayad and her team are creative, professional and definitely exceeded our expectations. Business headshots are like no other. The attention to detail and superb customer service are unmatched. Highly recommend. read more

I can't believe my experience with Ink Designs from initial contact until day of the photo shoot... AMAZING Nayad emailed me an extremely helpful list of things to do to prepare for shoot, what items to bring and pointers on where to shop, which was perfect for someone like me. I am not a fan of photos but they make sure to make it happen (and flawlessly) such a comfortable environment they explain what they need you to do and also involve you in selection of pictures. Extremely patient, very accommodating, professional and sweet couple. Make up artists was also phenomenal. Thank you all for such a great experience! You guys are the dynamic duo! Can't wait to be back! read more

FANTASTIC!!! Absolutely 100% HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! Not only are Nayad and her husband such kind, wonderful people but they are both extremely talented in their profession. I am blown away! Thank you BOTH for a wonderful experience and making my first photoshoot one I will never forget!!! THANK you!! BOOK with them!!!! read more

I absolutely LOVED working with Ink. Nayad and her husband have the process down to a science. They make you look fabulous and feel very comfortable.

Thank you! read more

My friend had such amazing headshots, I was sold! The price is worth it - you're paying for amazing talent. I also booked the hair and makeup package. I'm so glad I did because Celeste was able to touch up my makeup throughout the photo shoot. Photography makeup is different than your everyday look and I'm glad I trusted the process. Nayad and Cesar are the photography dream team everyone needs to look their best. Be sure to arrive 10 minutes early - the whole process will go fast! - Because it's FUN! Thank you again! read more

Nayad and Cesar are true professionals. The process was extremely smooth and they made me feel very comfortable in front of the camera. Their makeup artist/ Hairstylist is incredibly talented and the communication between them makes this a no brainer! You get what you pay for and this company is top of the line. Thank you! read more

5 stars! They are true professionals and know exactly what they are doing. They took a lot of shots and gave me so many great options to choose from. Thanks! read more

I just received my headshots! And oh em geeee!! I look Aaaamazing. From the moment I arrived at their studio in Chula Vista I was treated like a princess. Everyone was so friendly and attentive. Their makeup artist is a sweetheart!! She gets you looking like a Hollywood actress. Nayad and her husband Are photography Gods! They are hands down the best in San Diego. As much as I'd like to keep them my little secret, I've got to give credit where it's due. read more

Ink Designs - Thank you Nayad!!! #AgentSasse :) - Graphic Design Near Me

Who would have thought I could look so good in a picture?!?!? Ink Designs, along and their hair and make specialist, did a phenomenal job making sure that I look professional and glamorous for my photo shoot. In addition, they let me bring my goofball of a dog and incorporated him as well. I am now proud to hand out business cards and other marketing materials with my picture on it. Thank you Nayad and Cesar!! read more

I have worked with Nayad at Ink Designs now for about 4 years for business cards as well as having her vectorize some designs for me and I am here to tell you - she is BEYOND the master level at what she does... I know some people that are pretty good at Adobe Illustrator - but damn... She can take an image - and like a storm of clicks and mouse movement - she will take that image and perform magic on it so fast you won't even have time to fully understand what she just did but it will turn out better than you ever imagined... I use her for all my vectorizing needs, business cards, brochures, etc etc... You might be able to find some cheaper prices - but you will NEVER be able to find better quality... If you don't use her services - then you better be happy with 2nd rate quality. It's that simple. read more

Ink Designs - Promoting my new cards!! - Graphic Design Near Me

I am the owner of a real estate team here in Chula Vista. We used Ink Designs to take our business portraits. They came out amazing. Nayad & Cesar are an amazing team and so talented at what they do. My assistant and I also got our makeup and hair done.. whole experience was just AMAZING. It took me a year to finally do it because it was a little pricey. In the end, I am SO glad I did. Our pictures came out great and now we really look like a team. If you are on the fence because of financial reasons.. just do it! You won't be sorry. read more

Wow! This team is great. I must admit, when they said to come to their home for "professional photo's" I was a little skeptical but as soon as I walked in, that changed. Very professional studio with changing area, and the team was great. They don't miss any details. Highly recommended read more

I had a seamless experience here! I have used them both for professional photos and business card design and they do not disappoint. Nayad took the time to make sure that everything was perfect, and the cards I got are very high quality! read more

I just got my headshots done here in preparation for opening my insurance agency. I was dreading this part because I've been hating my pictures lately and this was going to be on EVERYTHING. I came to Ink by reference and it was amazing. They don't take pictures - they do magic. They did my hair and make up all for the pic. Positioned me in the most flattering way, adjusted everything to perfection - i LOVE my pics and am excited to see it on everything. I have 2 peers coming to get their pics done, i get tons of compliments on my pics- I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THEM! P.S. it was also fun!! read more

I usually wait to write a review but I just could not wait to gloat about Nayad and Cesar! As most reviews mention, they offer a full package...coffee, tea, water, makeup, photos, critique, adjustments... anything and absolutely everything to make you look and feel your absolute best!! You will not regret working with this power team!! My hair and makeup were done by Celeste and I have nothing but rave reviews for her as well!! I went in feeling shy and scrubby and I left feeling glam and amazing! read more

It was great to work with their team of husband and wife. They did an amazing job with our company's photos. Everyone was extremely professional from the make-up artist to the camera man. They also sent all of the pictures in different formats to fit all of our social networks, website and all of our marketing. We very much recommend Cesar and Nayad and their team. read more

Nayad and Cesar are amazing! I had my real estate headshots taken by them and the experience was great from beginning to end! Ladies I recommend you having your hair/makeup done at their studio, since their stylist knows what the photographers look for. Nayad helped with styling my outfits (which was great!) and the entire team made me feel so comfortable. I highly recommend using Ink Designs for your professional headshots - you won't regret it! read more

Here is a preview of what's to come for marketing my business as a real estate agent (DRE# 02062188) I can not express how happy I am with the turnout! Not to mention how smooth the process was to get these shots. Just to elaborate: makeup and hair was on site with the beautiful, oh-so-talented, Anita. She was able to tweak and adjust colors after reviewing trial shots so that they were absolutely perfect. Photo shoot set was just in the next room and Nayad works wonders with adjusting your outfits, hair and accessories so you look and feel top notch. Then, Cesar's cues have you genuinely smiling in your photos so your personality shines. I mean seriously, I walked in there feeling kinda shy and insecure about how all this would turn out and left stoked to share these pictures... which aren't even the final product! Can you believe the photo shoot and elimination process took less than an hour?? Mind blowing! So if you're ready to work with the BEST of the best for your business shoots you need to contact them. They WILL deliver! read more

From the minute I walked in the door, I was sold. What a wonderful and professional team ! My photography was amazing, make-up and hair perfect and I love the finished product!! I ended up have them rebrand my cards, email signature and more!! Highly recommended!! read more

As much as I love making money, I love to save money wherever possible BUT marketing material and head shots are NOT the place to try to cut corners with discounted service providers. Nayad and Cesar are worth every penny, and they work very hard and provide truly premium designs and photos to justify the prices that they charge...which is not cheap, but it definitely IS worth it. Trust me, I have tried other places, and it is a waste of my time and money and I always regret it later (which is why I'm writing a review now after using them for various print material for a year now I am convinced of the difference). Nayad has such a good eye for design-- all her marketing materials are perfection and Cesar's photography is just brilliant. Get it done if you are on the fence! I am a luxury realtor in La Jolla and it's important that my expertise and intellect is reflected in everything I put in front of my clients, print or electronic. I take my job as a realtor very seriously and my life is neat and orderly to make that happen...my photo and cards should reflect that! Which they do with InkDesigns :) read more

So, I just received my new order of business cards - and like my last order - I heart them. Nayad and the rest of the creative team work wonders. The design is a perfect compliment to my work and personality. Their prices are very competitive with other print shops, but what sets them apart is the service. Kudos and many thanks! Hooray for cards! read more

Nayad has really created a great business. The system is really easy to understand. Not to mention, the price was really low. So I was wondering what I would get (it was worth trying). The results were amazing!!! The product looked like I had paid twice or maybe even three times the amount! read more

Nayad and Cesar were just fantastic! They are hard to schedule with *only* because they are very busy and talented and their makeup artist, Lupita Arias, is as well. Keep calling or shift to email if you cannot get a hold of them. Nayad was very patient with my busy schedule and fit me in as soon as she could. Lupita did an amazing job with my makeup - I felt like a tasteful princess! Nayad and Cesar made the photography process quick and painless and I'm so excited to see my headshots :) read more

So I walked in not really knowing what to expect and walked out wanting to stay longer. I had such s great time taking pics with Nayad and Cesar. They make the perfect team when it comes to making you look good and feel good in front of the camera. I highly recommend these 2 for all your professional picture needs. From the quality of their cameras and gear to the direction give my I take the best shot, you can tell they know their stuff and that's why people keep coming back. I am already planning my next shoot!! read more

I work for Team Manzon a real estate company in Chula Vista and our entire team got our photos done here. This husband and wife team work very well together. I get really uncomfortable taking photos but they really helped me relax and were very patient till we picked the perfect shot. If you want professional quality and friendly service you gotta go with Ink Designs. It was a fun experience! Thanks Naiad & Cesar! read more

Absolutely amazing work!!!Nayad, Caesar, Anita , thank you thank you!!!! I hate pictures but you made me feel so confident and comfortable I loved the outcome! Definitely recommend it to anyone!! They make you feel so welcomed and happy, super professional and friendly! You will not regret trusting them with your professional image! read more

Nayad and Cesar are an excellent team. This is beyond photography, it is a combination of art, modeling, and perfectionism. After my wife took a series of business portraits, she referred all of her business partners and coworkers here. You will feel welcomed as soon as you walk in the door. Just bring a set of suits and they will do the rest. They will pick which outfit looks best on camera, they will do your makeup (even if you are a guy), and direct how you should stand, breathe, smile, etc. I never knew that being a model is hard work, and because they are perfectionist, you will come out looking like a model. Don't waste your money elsewhere, this is the place to be. Besides, they are very inexpensive for the professional quality they produce. read more

My Job set us up with head shot pictures with Nayaad and Cesar, they make such an amazing team and made me feel really comfortable! They made me laugh and had fun while doing the photo shoot. Nayad even helped me with my make up and she made me feel like she was a friend, she was so sweet. I really recommend them to whomever needs professional pictures for any occasion. They rock. Thanks guys! read more

I had my first head shot done here! I was so happy with their work, I came back! As usual, Nayad and Cesar's work ethic and product are superb. I had so may compliments on my first photo, the second one looks just as great! They are hands down the photographer, makeup (Lupita Arias) and marketing people to use. I believe you get what you paid for, and just pay the price, you won't be sorry. read more

Ink Design couldn't be any more professional or genuine. Nayad was quick to respond to my initial inquiry and did well following up. We were able to squeeze me in for an early morning shoot on short notice. A little confusion the day of, they thought I canceled but it was another appointment that did, but they made up for it with their service and Cesar expedited the proofs because of the mistake. Next day! Nayad and Cesar complement each other to the fullest and it allowed my first shoot to be a memorable one.Time to take my business to the next level! read more

Nayad and her team are amazing! I went in for professional headshots with the beauty package and they each walk me through the whole process as calmly and relaxing as possible. I highly recommend using Anita for makeup and hair! Her work is flawless. Caesar and Nayad helped bring out my best smile and took wonderful photos of me. I am extremely happy with their overall service and would highly recommend them to everyone I know. They are definitely a one stop shop- beautiful makeup and perfect photos! Thanks again team! read more

Such a great experience. Cesar and Nayad provide a comfortable and professional environment. They are a great team and actually make taking pictures enjoyable! They are personal and make you feel right at home. The best part is the end results. The headshots they take are phenomenal! I am so pleased with the photos and I have received tremendous feedback from my peers and family. Highly recommend Ink Designs if you are in need of an upgrade to your professional image! read more

10 stars if I could!!! Such a great experience and worth every penny. I did the upgraded package and added hair and makeup and it was more than worth it! Anita did such a great job with making my skin look flawless and added a lot of volume to my hair for my head shots. Nayad and Cesar were so great as well! I am loving the final product. Thank you all so much! read more

Nayad and Cesar are the dynamic duo. They are true professionals in every sense of the word. I hate taking my picture but they made me feel at ease and 15 minutes into the photo shoot I felt comfortable. In total they spent over an hour with me and did a Fantastic job. A week later I received the final pics and I was so impressed with their work, my wife loves the pics and they will be going up on our company website. Thank you Nayad and Cesar! read more
