Sheinelle Jones, journalist, news anchor, and co-host of Today with Jenna & Sheinelle on NBC, photographed for Philadelphia Magazine’s March 2026 issue.
Her interview covers a lot of topics - her Philly origins (born here and then on-air at Fox 29), her time at The Today Show and recent pairing with Jenna Bush Hager for the shows 4th hour. Sheinelle also talks about dealing with grief after losing her spouse to cancer last year.
We headed up to NBC Studios at Rockefeller Center in NYC for this one. It was a real treat to visit the place and get a behind the scenes look at where the magic happens. We arrived and were ushered in to the Jenna & Sheinelle space to set up in anticipation of Sheinelle’s arrival. The state of the art studio looks great - the walls are digital screens and there’s tons of lighting available. It does “all that and then some” for the recording and airing of the show we see everyday. As soon as I saw the window to the outside, though, I knew I wanted to incorporate views of Rockefeller Center and beyond into the portrait. It’s fun to show a little “behind the scenes” for an interview piece.
I couldn’t resist adding a few of our own shots to this post!
Thanks to for being so friendly and fabulous, everyone at NBC who helped and facilitated the shoot happening, and, of course, for the assignment and support.
