Remember those flip books with the circus performer riding a unicycle? A classic way to impart a sense of movement is to select similar photos for a series. You can place two side by side or arrange a dozen to evoke animation. ... read more
crop job
I have a tendency to crop images that make everything billboard size - especially people. I rarely accept a photo as-is when inserting into the page’s layout and neither should you. As long as the file is large enough, you should be able to increase the photo to Texas size proportions. ... read more
make it pop
When I started photojeanie, digital photos didn’t exist, which was limiting in creative control of content. Now there is a treasure trove of special effects that are standard with even the most basic digital album software program. In this diptych, the use of b&w emphasizes the vintage nature of the Airstream, which contrasts nicely with the ... read more
the organized traveler’s tip
I am not a shopper, but I have traveled with one and have amassed quite a few dos & don’ts, when buying abroad. When making a significant, whether in size or stature purchase that will be shipped home, it is critical to take multiple photos of what you have bought and any identifying marks & labels. Also, take a photo of the paperwork next ... read more
sneak peak photo shoot
I’ve often feel a ping of jealousy when looking at shelter magazines & design blogs that feature beautifully executed photo shoots of interiors. It is always a struggle for me to promote the amazing transformations that we create for apartmentjeanie clients as the furnishings, decor & overall effect rarely represent our design style.

However this uber organization doesn’t prevent me from recognizing when it is time to let go of the past and knowing how to document it for its future. Atop my microwave sits a display of tiny toys, ... read more
without a trace
Holy guacamole - it has been a minute since I wrote a blog post. Not that I don't have a gazillion ideas and every intention of posting them, I just have been a very busy business owner. Which I suppose has fared well because I have been receiving a ton of awesome emails from other businesses that are watching what I am doing, reading the blog, ... read more
petite pet portraits
I have extolled the mastery of the nail technicians at Sakura Nail Spa in New York City in previous posts and their creative application never ceases to amaze. Around last Christmas, my manicurist of many years showed an Instagram image of my beloved bulldog, Little Bit to a visiting technician from the Tokyo location. He (yes, that is correct ... read more
procrastination produces pretty photo display
For those that know me well or even met me once probably know that I like things neat & tidy. A messy desk is my kryptonite, but I am coming to terms that a little disorganization gives you the opportunity to organize. Chaos requires order, but unless there is chaos, order isn't truly being achieved. I had decided to go through 12 old work ... read more
how you like me now?
Although my incredibly talented graphic artist, Cody of Loki Loki is the pregnant one, I feel like I've just given birth to a beautifully healthy baby. The new & much improved photojeanie|apartmentjeanie|partyjeanie site is so gorgeous, accessible & informative that I can barely stop looking at it. I feel like a proud parent who just ... read more
