BOOKINGs, Agreements
& POLICIES
How do I book a photoshoot?
In order to book a 50% non-refundable deposit is required (paying full balance option available) and Photography Agreement must be completed to successfully confirm booking. When you sign your contract, we block off the hours to shoot with you, thus turning away people interested in shooting that day. The remaining balance is due on or before the day of your shoot. Payment must be made day of the shoot or within 7 days.
Can I bring a friend?
We prefer to work with our clients one on one with a our Hair and Makeup Artist on set to avoid creating an “audience” which can lead to someone feel more self conscious. We limit to only 1 guest for moral support or who you are shooting with (significant other/friend).
We do not permit second shooters or BTS photographers for the privacy of our clients and Sirens or allow clients to bring their own as they disrupt the flow of the shoot.
Is Hair and Makeup Included?
Yes all packages include Hair and Makeup and we only use the best artists hand picked for your shoot. Hair and Makeup can be done At-Home or On-Set depending on location. Extra time is added to the shoots to ensure you get the full glam treatment, look your best and take advantage of dedicated shoot time.
Shoot planning and moodboard creation
Before we start planning out the shoot concepts, ideas and moodboards, a deposit must be in submitted. If you are reaching out to us via instagram, please send us your email.
There is nothing worse planning out an entire shoot and coordinating with our HMU artists just to find out we are out of your budget or see that you book another shoot with someone else using the concepts/ideas we presented for a cheaper rate.
Something came up, can we reschedule our shoot?
Life happens and things come up. In order to reschedule shoot, 72 Hoursnotice notice is required to reschedule shoot.
Studio Sessions: If cancellation is within 48 hours of shoot, client will be charged a rescheduling fee related to studio rental costs. Studios need a minimum of 48 hours to cancel without any additional cancellation fees.
*Exceptions include outdoor shoots and weather complications (rain, snow, hail, high winds etc.) where location and date adjustments will be made. Outdoor shoots are booked with a reserve date just in case weather conditions are not on our side.
Why do i have to sign a shoot agreement?
The shoot agreement is in place to protect us from any miscommunication that may take place and outlays the content usage and rights for the work we create. Without signing you will not be able to publish, use for promotion or feature on premium sites without our consent.
We want to provide the best experience and avoid any butting of heads as we are non-confrontational as it does not provide any benefit.
We are very upfront with how we operate and do not have any hidden fees within our packages which is why all offerings we provide are FLAT Rates and crystal clear Agreements.

Why is there a limit on edits for creative experiences while content day subscriptions is uncapped?
CREATIVE EXPERIENCES:
With all experiences, the cost of editing and post production are factored as a flat rate in each of our packages. We grew tired of seeing women being finessed out of hundreds, even thousands of dollars for only a handful of final edits by other photographers. We don’t rely on third party retouchers and We actually want you to have your final edits, as many as you like.
We have done more shoots than we count and the assets listed in each Experience are a cumulation of the average number of assets delivered.
On average for our Creative Experiences, our amazing clients select between 50-200 final images. So why hold back?
CONTENT DAY SUBSCRIPTIONS:
Our Siren Content Day Subscriptions are for Creators who require custom asset packages that better suit their brand. It can be more Video Assets than Final Images or a mix of both depending on the time available.
We deliver a lot of content within these Subscriptions and the Flat rates covers the editing process similar to our Creative Experiences.
We are able to provide a better rate for our Subscriptions as the volume in production will save you close $2,000-$5,000 a year compared to booking Creative Experiences at the same reoccurrence
collaboration requests
“I HAVE A LARGE FOLLOWING, WHY DO I HAVE TO pay?”
Every model, regardless of their level of experience, deserves equal treatment and respect within the industry. Special treatment creates an imbalance that can undermine the hard work and dedication of others. In a competitive field, fairness is essential for fostering a supportive environment where everyone can thrive.
Moreover, the notion of receiving services for free outside of the shoot world contradicts the values of professionalism and respect for each other's craft. Just as we would never expect a model to work without compensation, we believe in valuing all contributors' skills and time. Each individual's contributions are vital to the success of any project, creating a more equitable and harmonious workspace for everyone involved.
“I AM AN ASPIRING MODEL WANTING TO BUILD MY PORTFOLIO, can I shoot for free?”
We frequently hear from aspiring models eager to work with us for free, motivated by the immense benefits they believe our collaboration would bring to their careers. While we truly appreciate the ambition and recognize that partnering with Schofield's Sirens can be a significant stepping stone, we’ve always found it challenging to justify offering our services without charge. Our dedicated team invests time, expertise, and resources into each project, and it’s essential for us to maintain a sustainable business that values the quality and professionalism we bring to the table.
“I NEVER PAY FOR SHOOTS, WHY SHOULD I PAY FOR A SHOOT?”
If you're not investing in yourself, how can you expect your brand to grow? In the competitive landscape of modelling and adult entertainment, the quality of your production and the professionalism of your partnerships are paramount.
Working with high-end producers or photographers isn’t just an expense; it's a strategic move that can elevate your brand to new heights.
High-quality visuals and compelling storytelling are essential to capturing and retaining your audience's attention. Professional producers understand the nuances of filmmaking, allowing your unique narrative to shine through, while experienced photographers capture your essence in stunning detail. This investment goes beyond aesthetics—it reflects your commitment to excellence and professionalism, which resonates deeply with viewers and brands.
“A Male Photographer said I could only collab if I performed sexual favours, will it be the same here?”
Unforuntely we have heard this question too many times and it saddens us.
At Schofield's Sirens™, we firmly believe in maintaining integrity and respect in our industry.
It's disheartening to hear the numerous accounts of models facing inappropriate advances from male photographers, where services are improperly exchanged for sexual favours.
We stand against this troubling trend, as we value professionalism and uphold a clear boundary between art and exploitation.
Our commitment is to provide a safe and supportive environment where all individuals can thrive without sacrificing their morals for pleasure.
We are dedicated to fostering creativity and empowerment while ensuring that dignity and respect take precedence in all our interactions.
“what if I refer you, can I shoot for free?”
We love referrals and welcome them! Our referral program is designed to reward you for sharing the magic of Schofield's Sirens with others.
For every referral that turns into a booking for our Creative Experiences or Siren Content Day Subscriptions, you can either enjoy discounts on your upcoming shoot or receive a $100 reward.
Plus, if you refer up to five women who book with us, we’re thrilled to offer you a complimentary shoot as a heartfelt thank you for trusting us. Your support means the world to us, and we can’t wait to celebrate creativity together!
