Why I Created The Shutter Bug Post Card Club

I’ve always loved receiving mail. From childhood “secret pal” surprises to sending postcards home from family trips, mail has long been a source of joy, connection, and memory-keeping for me. Those experiences inspired me to create my Post Card Club as something more than mail—it’s an experience rooted in anticipation and delight. Each postcard image is kept completely private, created solely for members and never shared online, making it truly theirs. Through occasional behind-the-scenes videos, I invite members into the story and sense of place behind each card. I grow the club slowly and organically, trusting that the right people will find it when the time is right.

I’m active on a couple of social media accounts where you can follow my shenanigans:

The back of the post card. The image I use on the front of the post card will never be posted online. They are exclusive to members.

Because I want to share joy and make my art affordable to everyone, it’s only $5/month to become a member. You can opt out at any time.

The Postcard Club is a monthly offering for those who appreciate quiet beauty, tangible art, and moments of pause.

Each month, you’ll receive a thoughtfully printed postcard featuring one of my original photographs — inspired by the water, light, and emotional landscapes of the Pacific Northwest. These aren’t promotional mailers or mass-market prints. They’re small pieces of art meant to be held, displayed, tucked into a book, or sent to someone who needs a little beauty.

The Postcard Club is simple by design. No noise. No urgency. Just a gentle reminder to slow down and notice.

It’s for collectors, creatives, and anyone who finds meaning in physical objects and quiet moments.

The images on the post cards are exclusive to club members. Never posted. Never shared online.

One image. Once a month. Delivered by mail.

Please note:

  • You may cancel your membership at any time.

  • No long term commitment.

  • Your address is used ONLY to mail postcards. It will not be shared for any reason. I promise!

  • No spam. I will send only your monthly postcard.

  • You’ll be charged today for your first month and your first postcard will be mailed the next day if you join before the 25th of the month.

I hope you join us.

Love,

Holly
