Welcome to the Bungalow!

Welcome to the Bungalow!

Hi there! I’m Marjorie Henise — photographer, writer, and spinster by choice.

I tell stories rooted in nostalgia — through photographs, postcards, blog musings, and a camper van named Roger. Whether I’m tucked on the patio with a cup of coffee or road-tripping through America’s small towns, I’m chasing beauty in the everyday and preserving what’s worth remembering.

You’ll find my creative work split across three beloved projects:

✦ Destination Main Street — a travel and photography series capturing the soul of forgotten towns.

✦ The Spinster Bungalow — my blog, where you’ll find essays, reflections, and solo living joys.

✦ Roger’s Road Trip — a children’s book series about a van with a heart who loves to take road trips.

Come wander awhile. There’s plenty to explore — and maybe even a postcard or two waiting just for you.

  • "Marjorie acted as a business consultant for me when I was in the early stages of forming my company. She added clear direction and a solid framework to my thinking, which has held up years later. She's both easy to work with and challenging in her ideas, which is the perfect balance for a robust business."

  • "Marj and I have known each other for over six years at HACC; to use a baseball metaphor (which I know Marj would love), she would be a great pinch-hitter for your small business. She has great passion for her client's goals and will help you win your game!”

  • "Marjorie Henise..... Inspiring, Dedicated, Professional, Trendy, and Educated in all things! Why do these words apply to her and her work? Because she strives for continuous education and more importantly experience. She challenges herself and her company repeatedly to reach great lengths in terms of understanding the current lifestyles and trends of our great country and communities. And not in one area.... Marj takes her work with her across the USA to her customers enabling her business to experience the different ways of life of each locale. I am in awe of her work ethic and genuine interest in providing the most beneficial information for her clients. I always look forward to finding new places to visit through her work."

  • "Working with Marjie isn't like working at all. Her tenacious attention to your social media details is invisible to the naked eye, cleverly camouflaged by what can only be described as exuberance. Or maybe effervescence? (Okay, she's bubbly.) Kidding aside, Marjie takes YOUR business needs seriously. She understands the unique pressures Main Street shop owners face, and she tackles each problem as if it were her own. And - and this is key - she "gets" the promise of social marketing, specifically how a well-managed social program can create a real problem for businesses that aren't ready to be really, really busy taking care of all of those new customers!
