Photo of Imhotep Benjamin Photography Imhotep Benjamin Photography "Visionary! Great work, Imhotep. Super satisfied with my photos 😎." Based in Washington D.C., District of Columbia 7th October 2026 MB Photo of The Still Photography by Elle The Still Photography by Elle "I had so much fun shooting with Elle! She gave me wonderful direction on how to pose to where it didn’t feel like posing, it felt like being! I can’t wait to work with her again when I need additional photos for my portfolio." Based in Los Angeles, California 17th September 2026 Latoya D Photo of PictureMeATL PictureMeATL "Thank you for all your help. Your team took our small intimate family event and made it feel special. Family members that I love and cherish, all felt comfortable with your guidance and now I have timeless photos of them forever. And the free video you provided was icing on the cake. Truly amazing!" Based in Atlanta, Georgia Nancy P. - Baby Shower Photo of Karen Vaisman Photography Karen Vaisman Photography "I had the pleasure of working with Karen Vaisman for my professional headshots, and I couldn't be more thrilled with the results. From the moment I walked into her studio, it was clear that Karen is not only an incredibly talented photographer but also an absolute professional in every sense of the word. What stood out to me most about my experience with Karen was her exceptional, personable nature. She made me feel immediately at ease in front of the camera, turning what could have been a nerve-wracking experience into something enjoyable and even fun. It felt like I had known her for years, and that rapport she established was something truly special. During the photo session, Karen's engagement was palpable. She took the time to understand the essence of what I wanted to convey through my professional headshots. It wasn't just about capturing an image; it was about capturing a story. Karen has a remarkable ability to connect the picture to a narrative, which, in turn, helped me visualize how I could use these headshots as a powerful tool in my portfolio to build and enhance my personal brand. Karen's attention to detail is second to none. She cares deeply about the quality and final product of her work, ensuring that every shot is perfect. What struck me most, however, is her unwavering commitment to the positive impact her work will have on the brand of the individual she's photographing. It's not just about taking pictures; it's about elevating your professional image to new heights. I cannot recommend Karen Vaisman enough. The investment I made in her services was undoubtedly the best decision I made for my brand. If you're looking for a professional photographer who combines exceptional skill, a warm and engaging personality, and a genuine commitment to your success, look no further than Karen. She is, without a doubt, the person you want behind the lens to capture the essence of your professional journey. Thank you, Karen, for the incredible experience and the exceptional headshots that will undoubtedly make a lasting impact on my brand." Based in Agoura Hills, California Susana Cabrera - Karen Vaisman Photography Photo of All Event Photos All Event Photos "It was easy to download the picture and they was looking nice" Based in Tampa, Florida Kay Mullen Photo of Local Photographer Local Photographer "I cannot say enough good things about Sagredo Photography. I had been looking for a while for a photographer to take a portrait of my husband and myself. He took a gorgeous spread and somehow made me look thinner than I actually am by posing us correctly. He also got emotion in the pictures, we look happy and in love, which we are, it just doesn't come through in pictures. We are planning on making this a annual thing. Really, you won't be disappointed in this. We couldn't decide which photo to use so we made a collage. It came out great and I made a couple of copies and framed in a 16 x 20 with a mat. The collage came out keepsake quality. A photo spread for a wedding, pregnancy photos, family or, like us, a anniversary spread that doubled for Holiday pictures." Based in Boynton Beach, Florida Sue P-B

Frequently asked questions

Hiring lifestyle photographers typically costs between $80 and $1,600+, with an average of $250. The price depends on the photographer's experience, session length, the number of edited images and any additional deliverables such as prints or albums. Travel, the number of photographers required and how quickly the edited images are needed can also influence the final price.

The lifestyle photographers specialise in natural, candid-style photography that captures genuine moments and emotions. This relaxed, documentary approach is popular for events, personal branding, family occasions and editorial-style shoots.

Hiring lifestyle photographers is popular for weddings, engagement parties, milestone celebrations, brand events and family gatherings. The lifestyle photography style produces authentic, storytelling images that feel natural rather than posed.

While traditional event photographers may focus on posed group shots and formal compositions, lifestyle photographers prioritise candid moments, natural light and storytelling. Many lifestyle photographers blend both approaches to deliver a well-rounded collection of images.

A lifestyle shoot is led by what happens rather than a fixed list, though most photographers will agree a handful of must-have moments beforehand. Naming the people and details that matter most is more useful than a long list. That balance is what keeps the images natural while still covering the essentials.

Indoor sessions work well where there is decent window light, which is why homes, studios and bright venues are common choices. Where daylight is limited the photographer may bring subtle additional lighting rather than direct flash. Discussing the location in advance lets them plan for the conditions.

Personal use is normally included, while commercial or brand use is agreed separately and priced accordingly. Photographers often ask to be credited when images are posted. Confirming the intended use at the enquiry stage keeps the quote accurate.

Yes, either add suppliers to your favourites and contact them all at once, or use the find a supplier wizard.

Discuss your requirements using our messaging system or join a video meeting (like a Zoom-call) to speak face-to-face.

Once you agree to the contract you will be asked to pay a 10% booking fee to confirm the booking, with the balance payable directly to the supplier by the due date you've agreed on.
