can I bring my own model?

yes, you may source and bring in your own model to soona shoots. in these cases, soona will not be responsible or a part of any sourcing efforts, shoot coordination, and contract negotiations.

if you book with a soona model - coordination and full usage rights  are included in the cost.

how do I know if I need the styling pro service?

your soona shoot includes one photographer. a stylist provides an extra pair of hands to assist with things like: 

  • 5+ items in a single shot
  • swatches or cosmetic textures
  • food or ingredients 
  • apparel that needs to be steamed + styled + folded + pinned
  • you want to recreate the style of a shot you saw somewhere else

after you book we review your goals and shot list. some shoots may require the styling pro service to be executed successfully.

does soona provide models?

yes! soona offers full body models + hand models + pet models. learn more about soona’s models here. you will select your preferences via the pro services tab after you complete your booking.

if I choose grocery shopping: can soona just pick out things for my shoot?

we want to get exactly what you want for your shoot! we’ll send a form for you to fill out and make a shopping list for us. need some ideas? check out our inspo page to see what’s possible at soona!

please note: fresh ingredients are sourced at local grocery stores near each studio. seasons can affect which fruits, vegetables, plants, or flowers are available.

what if i want to show more than just hands during the shoot?

the hand model pro service is just for hands. please choose a full body model instead if you’d like to show a full body, face, or feet.

does styling include props?

stylists have access to our standard studio props! any props outside this list can be shipped to our studio. book our grocery shopping services for any fresh ingredients you may need.
