JONAH HALE

What's the process for shooting, choosing, and editing my photos?

Each photo session is a unique and personalized experience.

I strive to make each photoshoot a fun, safe, and relaxing experience. Once you arrive we will turn on some music and start shooting.

Depending on the package you chose, we will take somewhere between 200 and 800 photos.

Most of those will be bad. Some will be good. But we are after the few that are GREAT!

​

After the shoot, I will begin the uploading process so I can then share the photos with you.

You will receive a full watermarked digital proof gallery within 24-48 hours of the shoot so you can begin the dificul task of choosing your edits.

Once you have selected the photos I will start editing. You can expect the final edits to be delivered to you with in 7 business days of your shoot date.

​

Your final gallery will be delivered using Pixiset and will be available for download in high-res.

​

​

How many edited photos will I get?

Each package has a predetermined about of edited photos that comes with that package.

I offer additional edits as an add-on for every package. 

​

Can I have the unedited photos/Can I edit them Myself?

Unfortunately no.

I do not give out raw or unedited photos nor do I like other people editing them. If you have a specific request or would like to talk about how I edit, I would be happy to talk about it, however part of what you get when you hire me is my editing style and my "look". The way that I shoot is designed to complement the way that I edit and giving out unedited photos feels like giving out incomplete work.

​

Do you offer any discounts?

I offer a 10% Student Discount for current high school and college students, as well as a referral program for new and returning clients.

​

Referral Program

If you come to me for the first time as a referral and let me know who sent you, I can offer you 10% off.

Or if you have shot with me before and refer someone to me, I will give you $50 off your next shoot.

 

Where do you shoot?

Typically I shoot in my studio on the Upper West Side. However, depending on the shoot we may also shoot outdoors or in a rental studio.

​

What should I wear?

This is probably my most asked question and my least helpful answer. I always say the most important thing is to wear something that feels like you. Wear things you love and feel great in because if you feel good, you're going to look good.

In terms of what not to wear, try to stay away from big logos, super crazy patterns, and neon/reflective things.

​

How many outfits should I bring?

Bring as many outfits as you like. Before we start shooting we'll go through the outfits and make some cuts and make a gameplan of how best to tackle what you've brought. How many we get through just depends on how fast we are shooting and if we like what we're getting.

​

Can I bring someone with me?

100% yes! If there is a friend or relative that you feel would be helpful or fun to have at the shoot, or if you have someone you want to bring to help with hair or makeup, they are more than welcome to come.

​

Other questions?

DM me on Instagram or send me an email at jonahhalephoto@gmail.com

I would be happy to answer any questions you may have or if none of those packages seem to fit your needs, I would be happy to discuss and find something that's right for you.
