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 or 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.
