Finally, Mail Worth Getting Excited About
Most mail is something you have to deal with. A bill. An advertisement. Something you immediately throw away.
But every once in a while, you open your mailbox and find something that makes you stop.
Your name handwritten on an envelope. A story waiting inside.
That feeling started with my aunt, who still sends me postcards whenever she travels. Seeing her handwriting always gave me a little rush of excitement. Someone thought of me. Someone wanted to share a place, a memory, a story.
For 15 years, I had been collecting those same kinds of stories through my own landscape photography, traveling to 17 countries and photographing the places that stayed with me. Eventually, I realized those photographs didn’t have to sit unseen. They could become something someone looked forward to receiving.
So about a year ago, I created Postal Print Club.
Every month, I personally photograph and edit a landscape print, then write the story behind it, what happened while taking the photograph, what the place made me feel, or what it made me question about my own life.
Then I turn that photograph into a painting and have it printed onto the cloth wrapping. I add a quote on handmade paper, cut everything by hand, and assemble each month’s mail.
It’s not just a photograph. It’s a little adventure and journey that arrives in your mailbox.
And the photograph doubles as a postcard, so you can keep it, hang it up, or write on the back and send it to someone you love.
Don’t take my word for it:
“The Postcard of the Month is over the top!! ... her story about the scene was mesmerizing!”
Another subscriber said:
“The images and messages seem to track my life and give me inspiration every single day.”
Today, more than 700 letters have gone out to 200+ subscribers.
Join Postal Print Club for $12/month and make your mailbox the place you look forward to checking.

Finally, a Lightroom Preset That Delivers Clean, Timeless Photos Without Endless Tweaking. The breakthrough came when I realized something surprising.
The best preset isn’t the one with the most dramatic look.
It’s the one you barely have to touch.
After years of photographing weddings and spending three years editing more than 8,000 galleries for photographers around the world, I noticed the same pattern over and over. Everyone was chasing shortcuts, but most presets created more work instead of less.
Skin tones shifted too magenta. Outdoor photos looked beautiful while indoor images fell apart. One-click edits quickly became ten-minute edits because photographers had to fix what the preset got wrong.
Ironically, I’d lived the exact same frustration myself.
When I was starting out, I bought countless presets hoping they would finally give me the polished, timeless look I admired. Instead, every one became another project. I spent more time correcting someone else’s preset than actually editing my own photos.
That’s when I decided to stop looking for the perfect preset and create it instead.
After more than 20 versions, I combined everything I’d learned from editing thousands of galleries with my own 15 years behind the camera. The result was a preset designed to be almost finished from the moment you apply it.
It delivers clean, natural skin tones across different lighting conditions, works beautifully with both light and dark skin, and usually needs nothing more than a small exposure or warmth adjustment.
Today, photographers tell me the same thing my wedding clients have been saying for years: they love how natural the images look. Not trendy. Not over-edited. Just timeless photographs they’ll still be proud of decades from now.
