Lou Dog Session 001

July 7, 2026 · Waynesville, North Carolina

The very first Lou Dog Session brought people together for an evening of stories, creativity, mystery-solving, yard games, signed books—and one extremely important studio dog.

Guests became investigators for Case 001: The Missing Session File, explored the world of R.E. Chatterton, and helped turn an ordinary summer evening at my little home studio into the beginning of something real.

These photographs capture the first chapter of Lou Dog Studio: slightly homemade, wonderfully unpredictable, and filled with people willing to show up for a brand-new idea.

Thank you to everyone who helped bring Session 001 to life. We created something that mattered.
