Journey Thru the Lens

09/20/2026

Love this space! Happy to see all the fresh updates! 🫶🏻🫶🏻

A little giveaway for my photographer friends. 🤎

The studio has changed so much lately, and after spending the last few months reworking these rooms, I’m really excited to see them being used again by those of you who have created here before, and hopefully by some new faces too.

So, I’m giving away three one-hour studio rentals to three different photographers.

Bring a client, plan something you’ve been wanting to shoot, grab a photographer friend and create just for fun — whatever you’ve had in mind, the hour is yours. I can’t wait to see these rooms filled with your ideas, too.

To enter:
• Follow The Things We Keep on Facebook and Instagram
• Like this post
• Tag a photographer friend in the comments
• Share this post for an extra entry

Three photographers will be chosen, and each will get one hour in the studio.

The winners will be announced Monday, September 28th.

Good luck! 🤎

It was raining on my way to this session & I just kept holding onto hope that we were going to have good luck. The clouds were there, but the rain held off and we got one of my favorite MOOOOODY, beautiful sessions. AllieRae brought her A game- I just followed her around clicking pics and smiling at her the entire time 🤎
Great to see you, lady!

Hey, Grayson 🩵

How could you tell this kid no, with these EYES. Ugh, I had such a hard time picking favorites of this handsome 1 year old. HBD, Mr. Grayson 🎉

Caroline stole the show this session, with a smile ALWAYS ready for me! We had to work little miss Riley, but with lots of snacks, singing and pinecones we GOT her! Jameson was along for the ride & did exactly what he needed to do to earn them some McDees

Some of my favorite people 🤎

We got to enjoy the golden hour together smiling and laughing. Then took a walk out by the sunflowers with my best girl and her pretty lady for some special mommy & me time. Love you all, Dotson crew.

Look at this group of beautiful people! We had a great time at the Houghtaling Farms capturing the entire crew the other night. I was smiling and laughing the whole time with this group. Love you all!
