About  SPERLING PHOTO CO

YOUR PHOTOGRAPHER

Hi I’m KARA SPERLING

Your Creative Director & On-Site Visual Partner.

Most brand photography feels stiff and "safe." I’m here to change that. With over 20 years of experience in the Southern California market, I bring a high-end editorial soul to professional imagery. Whether you're a CEO in Newport Beach or a musician in LA, I create images that command the room.

Why clients trust me with their image:

  • The "No-Stress" Session: You don’t need to be a model. I direct every movement, every angle, and every pose. I’ll tell you exactly what to do with your hands so you can stop feeling awkward and start looking like an authority.

  • The Mobile Studio: I bring the high-end studio experience to you. Whether it’s your home, your office, or a specific OC or LA location, I provide the lighting and gear to ensure your results are polished and professional—no travel required.

  • The Editorial Vibe: My brand clients walk away with images that feel like a Vogue Business spread, while my artists receive the cinematic character needed to catch the eye of an agent.

  • Surgical Efficiency: Your time is your most valuable asset. My process is designed to be high-impact and streamlined, delivering magazine-quality results without wasting your day.

You’ve spent years perfecting your craft. Let’s make sure your visuals reflect that legacy.

It’s Time to Uplevel your brand!

My Favorite Things

  • Family Time

    I’m married to my best friend and high school sweetheart and we love slow mornings spent with our three daughters, Charlotte, Zoe and Hannah.

  • Books

    Books

    I’m a huge book nerd and devour about 50 books a year. I’ve read the Harry Potter series more times than I can count. Go Hufflepuff! I just love getting lost in the magic of a good story!

  • The Beach

    Born a raised in California, I feel like I’m a walking cliche, because I adore the beach! There’s nothing that brings me more peace and joy than hearing the waves crash on the shore.

  • New York City

    New York City

    There’s something so magical about NYC, especially in the Fall! When I visit, I never miss an opportunity to see at least one Broadway show! I love just exploring the city and discovering new things each time I go!

  • Music

    Music has always been a huge part of my life. As a trained vocalist, I love to sing, but mostly in the car while blasting my favorite tunes. My favorite bands are Lawrence, Vulfpeck, Metric and anything that makes me want to dance and sing!
