Attention

[captured this summer on the backside of our local ski hill while driving with a best friend]

Almost A Birthday Suit

[captured a few days before my birthday in the low desert of Arizona, besides these boots, I really was in my birthday suit]

I Said Come Hither And He Hithered

[captured in Pocatello, ID on a rainy spring morning — a friend in Wyoming had JUST sent me that sassy little skirt]

Leaving Trails

[captured this fall on a trail up on Scout Mountain, the tallest peak in Pocatello at 9000+feet]

Another postcard pack is in the shop.

As always, I’ll throw in a bonus card of my choice to go with this selection!

Who loves the postal services of the world???

We do.

:::EDIT:::
Holy crow! Thank you all so much for supporting me in this little venture! I confess, when I came up with this idea I wasn’t sure if anyone would want a set of cards featuring my images…to say the least, you blew my socks off yesterday!

If you claimed a set of postcards, or two, or four, thank you so much! We have them all packaged up and as soon as RW comes home from hunting this afternoon, we’re going to start printing shipping for them all. We’ll be sending them out with extra sparkles and zing, so be prepared.

Also, I meant to tell you before but it slipped my mind, each pack includes a bonus card of my choosing! YAY! That’s just a little treat for my little birds.

Thank you, so much, for making all my dreams come true. And thank you all for the sweet messages you attached to your orders and for the notes you emailed me — I take those things to heart and currently, my heart is very full.

Sending you love, blue grouse feathers and Idaho sunbeams,
Jillian

It’s finally happened! I’ve gone postal!

I’ve had many of you request, over the past year, that I make prints of my images. Recently, I sat down, carefully selected a batch of photos I’ve taken over the past year and I had those shots made into postcards.

This is an effort to:

1. Offer you extremely affordable pieces of my work.

2. Encourage you to support the world wide postal system! Here in the USA, the postal service seems to be especially floundering and every $0.44 stamp you purchase helps to support an incredible system. Don’t let snail mail die! Help your local mail carrier keep his or her job!

3. Help keep the art of letter writing alive! Writing letters and sending mail is one of my love languages. I’ve always ALWAYS loved the post. Nothing puts a smile on my face like a received snippet of love from another part of the world. Constructing a hand written, cleanly composed letter is a work of art. Hone your skills with these posties.

4. Help me help myself! I’m becoming more and more serious about photography. I carry my camera with me nearly everywhere I go. It’s always whirring and clicking. I buy pieces of clothing that I think will look nice when photographed against fall colors. I wake up early to catch the morning light with my camera. I wait, on the edge of my seat, for the golden hour in the evening. I drive long distances to capture the sunlight on the mountain peaks. I carry my camera on long backcountry hikes just to record the perfect light in the perfect places. I’m a woman obsessed. And I want to share the best of that obsession with you. Do you mind?

Of course, you don’t actually have to put these post cards through the mail system. You may also pin them to your inspiration board above your office nook at home (if you find them inspiring), take them to work and use them to brighten up your cubicle, or give them as gifts to a friend who needs a little pick-me-up. Do what you like with them, and know that you have my blessing whether you put them in the post or not!

The postcard pack I am putting in the Etsy shop today contains these four images:

[I am Willa Cather]

[Putting the Spring in Spring]

[Blue]

[From the Ground Up]

All images that depict a piece of me or all of me are self portraits captured without the help of a remote or tripod (I actually don’t own either of these tools).
They are professionally printed, feature a smooth matte finish on the front and back and measure the standard postcard size of 4×6 inches.

I hope you love them!

And I hope they carry your messages well.
