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 inspiration 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, vegetable, 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 if you’d like to show any parts of the torso, legs, back, or face! If you need just lower legs and feet, you can book a foot model.
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.
Can I bring my own model?
You may source and bring in your own model to soona shoots. If you choose to do so, soona will not be responsible or a part of any sourcing efforts, shoot coordination, or contract negotiations.
If you book with a soona model, coordination and full usage rights are included in the cost.
I have assets that were not created by soona, could your crew edit those?
Yes! Start by filling out this form to let us know your editing needs. A crew member will email you to confirm editing scope + cost. After that, receive your edits in 24-48 hours!
How can I get on the schedule sooner?
When we receive your product, we get you on the schedule for our earliest available date and time. If you would like to be scheduled sooner, you can join our waitlist. Sometimes we have last minute cancelations and can get you on sooner. You must have open availability to sign up for the waitlist.
