The best answer is actually:
Do you know where I can get a professional photographer to take my photo?
You want to use "get" with "to."
The title of your post should be "more correct" and not "most correct," because you're choosing between only two.
"Get" and "have" are Causative Verbs and both of them can be used to express what you want. But here are their respective patterns:
get + somebody + to Verb
have + somebody + Base Verb
Because of this, both your sentences are wrong.
You can also avoid Causative Verbs altogether:
Do you know where I can find a professional photographer to take my photo?
In this particular example, you don't need to care about the Infinitive (to + Verb) anymore because it's not connected to any Causative Verb.
