Welcome to postcards from!
I'm Katie May
a photographer + content creator based in The Lake District
I was born and raised in Cumbria, with the Pennines as my back garden and The Lake District as my playground. Since a young age, I’ve loved documenting my travels through postcards; growing up I used to keep summer diaries on the back of postcards and they’re a treasured memory.

Postcards From is here to inspire all types of adventure. Not just the big, around the world, gap year style adventures, but the day trips, explore your back yard, micro adventures.
