Dancing With The Stars, Win!

We Won (the mirrored ball award for collecting the most money)!


Here we are...

Dancing With The Stars, VOTE FOR US!

Hello!!!!!

I am dancing with my fellow local business owners to raise money for the post prom party. Why do kids need a party? Do you remember prom? Did you watch American Pie? Multiply that by 1000 kids and you get the picture.

Spring-Ford graduates over 500 kids a year. They don't need to go to prom to come to the party. Their parents are called when they are leaving the party. It's free for all the juniors and seniors. The budget for the night (food, inflatables, decor, entertainment, prizes) is $40k. Last year this event raised $19k.

The winner of Dancing With The Stars is the team that raises the most money. If you have $5 burning a whole in your pocket, would you consider a donation? Thank you!

Here's How To VOTE:

SNAP, and some rules

Thank you to all the participants in the SNAP fund raiser! Together, we raised more than we projected!

Some rules. Don't worry, I'm pretty laid back...
1) I do have some weekends available for families who have members who are out of town all week. But not lots of weekends. Because that's when weddings happen!

2) If someone is sick, let's reschedule.

3) The studio is at 17 N 4th Ave, Royersford. That's not really a rule. But it's helpful.

4) You will choose your images at the same appointment as the photo session.

5) I will have hours available for picking up your order.

6) There will be special packages available for SNAP clients. And there's some coupons in the local paper if you look.

7) No scanning. I'm crazy about copyright. No one wants to work for free.

8) Wardrobe. If you can coordinate a room, you can coordinate what your family wears. When you contact me, I'll have pointers. No bold prints, etc. Sleeves and no shorts... flesh is distracting, unless it's your face.

9) Be considerate of your appointment time. We have a lot of people to accommodate!

10) If the kids are little and it's not going to happen, reschedule.

11) Seriously, let's have fun. Come rested and feed the kids. Don't rush.

Spring Ford Live

SNAP will be hosting Spring Ford Live on Oct 23rd for Homecoming weekend.

Andy, newly graduated

Congrats!
I love seniors. They're on top of the world.

Spring Ford Graduation

Some stuff for the paper, without showing anyone specific... it's been 20 years since mine. So funny to shoot it years later! Especially with people I graduated with... now on the school board and administration. Deja Vu.

class of 2009

I can't tell you how many more days until graduation... but I'm sure they can tell you.

Free Portrait Offer

1) Find a blood drive http://pleasegiveblood.org/
2) Make appointment with me and for the donation.
3) Donate and keep your sticker. Or donor card. Or other proof of donation.
4) Bring it to the portrait session.

Donate between now and April 1, 2009. Portrait session can be between now and September 1, 2009.

Thank you!

MILKSHAKE for kids (a concert)

Milkshake

My kids are kinda out of this stage. But I'll be photographing at the concert on Saturday September 6th at Owen J Roberts.
Looks like fun!

chocolate as favors

Need favors? Don't like kitch? Here you go. Get them here: http://www.sweetashleyschocolate.com/

The website is being redone and we're working on photos. Connie, the owner, is one of my favorite people. She's around the corner from my studio and a great person to go talk to when there's stuff going on in the neighborhood.

And if you need candy for weddings, showers, baby announcements... she delivers. Boxes can be personalized. Etc. It's so good.

These have peanut butter, chocolate, and a crunchy center.


Sweet, salty, and caramel...


Coffee beans come in different flavors.



These Jordan Almonds won't break your teeth. Seriously good. Even if there's no wedding around.

Spring-Ford Reporter

Thank you Lisa for the article!

Royersford's Capone is coming home.

07/24/2008

	Jen Capone Photography recently opened on Fourth Avenue in Royersford.

Jen Capone is returning home to her Royersford roots after travelling throughout the East Coast.

"I was tired of traveling. I wanted to be local, to get back to my community," Capone said.
Capone purchased Dr. Dabbback's old office, located at 17 N. Fourth Ave. in February and turned it into a photography studio.
"When I looked at Dr. Dabback's building, I remembered being there with an ear infection when I was little. It's not just a property to me. It's a part of me."
Capone is in the process of slowly renovating the inside of the building as she works.
"Dr. Dabback's office is the perfect location for me. I knew this building when I bought it. It's beautiful," Capone said. "I would love for Dr. Dabback to come over to see it."
During the renovation, Capone has found a few surprises along the way.
"We found rent records stored that will be donated to the historical society," Capone said.
The majority of Capone's work is done outside of the studio. Through her Web site requests and previous clients, she travels to Manhattan, Boston, Key West, New Jersey and Philadelphia, mostly for weddings.
"I would like to be more involved in the local community," Capone said.
Capone recently won third place in the quarterly contest for the Wedding Photojournalist Association.
"It was in the Getting Ready Category for a wedding. It's an honor to be recognized for your work," Capone said.
Capone, who grew up in Royersford, earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from the Fashion Institute of Technology in Manhattan. She has been practicing photography for the last 20 years.
Capone's work can be viewed on her Web site, www.jencapone.com. For an appointment or questions, please call 610-547-8250 or e-mail her at jen@jencapone.com. Capone shoots weddings, bar mitzvahs, family gatherings, portraits, maternity, children and senior pictures with themes.

happy 4th

I have a lot of editing to do!
But it's a holiday.

First, Skippack's parade with church, where we hand out water. We want to be more environmentally conscious about it, but it's so well received. Water is good. Plastic... we've been handing out water for a few years now. The plastic is bothersome. We're betwixt and between.

Then fireworks. Our backyard. In the rain. These are over at Waltz's golf.

Sacred Heart 8th grade Graduation

The weather broke, the AC wasn't totally up to par, but they're done and they were all beyond pleasant to work with. Thank you! and Congratulations! This is a sharp group of kids.

flute + guitar

Apparently, the studio has acoustics. nice ones. it's all the woodwork.

Veronica and William came over for some photos. Delightful. It was mesmerizing to have them play for a while.

May 3 fire

yesterday at 6:30 i awoke to sirens and radios.

we were then serenaded by an unholy choir of saws as they cut through the roof.

happy studio mess

the walls have come down.

BEFORE:

DURING:



My husband took a few hours to make this mess. I came it after an afternoon at a museum and jumped for joy.

Lovely Bones, 2

Here's some of the images I'll be getting to Connie at Sweet Ashley's Chocolate.
The Cougar is owned by a nice man who was talking to me on the set. He gave me his card and will get his own copy. A memorable part of this for me was the cars and the fellows who own them. Oh, and the guy who wore a pea coat, like Mike from the Monkeys. He hung out at the top of Main St, was really nice, very social, and is in the Details photo.
