How do I know if I need to add the styling pro service to my shoot?

Every 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, or pinned
  • Recreating the style of a shot you want to referencing

After you book a shoot, we’ll review your goals and shot list. Some shoots may require the styling pro service to be executed successfully.
