Some things we keep because they keep us connected.

Join Liberation Station Bookstore for What We Carry, a special heirloom portrait experience with photographer Chris Facey of Coco Butter Shutter, created for children from birth through age 18.

Bring a family heirloom or meaningful object that holds a special story. It might be a treasured photograph, a recipe card, a piece of jewelry, or something passed down through generations.

During this gathering, Chris will photograph children with their chosen objects, while participants have an opportunity to reflect and write about what they brought, why it matters, and the memories it carries.

Through photography and storytelling, we’ll celebrate the objects, memories, and connections that help shape who we are.
