The 2018 Happier Place Calendar!

New Product: Happier Place Calendar 2018

We made something pretty for you: the 2018 Happier Place calendar featuring 13 nature photos and a few of our slogans to inspire you to go outside, have fun and be happier.

One of the reasons for launching Happier Place was to create a platform for sharing Luci’s nature photography with a more clearly defined goal: to bring joy and inspire people to go out into nature more.

We’ve posted some of her photos here on the website and on our social media channels for those reasons already. But there’s nothing quite like having an actual print of a photograph. Even better: having a new photo hang on your wall every month!

So for our very first Happier Place photography product, we created a monthly wall calendar featuring 13 nature photographs taken by Luci Westphal.

Each month celebrates a wilderness landscape (like mountain vistas or ocean views), reveals a green oasis in the middle of big cities (like NYC or Berlin) or brings you up-close-and-personal with wildlife and plants. Luci took these photos in Alaska, Arizona, Colorado, New York, Utah, Cuba, Germany and Mexico.

When selecting the photos for the first Happier Place calendar, we wanted to make sure that we provided you with a variety of types of locations, geographies and atmospheres. And we didn’t use any of the photographs featured in Luci’s 2017 Moving Postcard calendar – just to keep it fresh for those people who got that one last year. We hope you like our choices!

And just in case shiny images of beautiful nature isn’t inspiration enough for you to go outside and be happier, each calendar page also features one of our motivating slogans like “Take a break. Go outside. Have fun.” or “Do more of what makes you happier.”

Surely, the combination of nature photography with inspiring slogans will motivate you (or whoever you give this calendar to) all year long to get a little bit happier by having more fun outdoors.

Each photo measures 8.5 x 11 inches. This makes the calendar 17 x 11 inches large when unfolded, with a twin-wire loop in the middle. The 2018 Happier Place Calendar was printed on environmentally-friendly heavyweight 80 lb velvet gloss cover that has been certified by the Forest Stewardship Council.

Please be aware that the printed calendar versions are in a much higher resolution (aka look much better) than the compressed versions on this website. Also, the original images had to be cropped to fit the calendar. If you click on a photo, you can see a larger version (and also order a print from Luci’s photography website, if you’re so inclined).

  1. The 2018 Nature Photography Calendar is absolutely the most beautiful calendar and with each new month, I take a deep breath in its beauty. Truly Luci has once again put in photography such descriptive photos, you just imagine yourself going to these places and calling them “Your Happier Place”

    1. Thank you so much, Ellie, for the wonderful words about my photography and the calendar!
