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
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
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!
