Adventure Engagement Session | Stowe, Vermont – Trapp Family Lodge

April 6, 2021

Some people shy away from wanting their engagement photos taken during the winter, but this gorgeous winter session at Trapp Family Lodge in Stowe, Vermont provides a pretty strong argument for a winter session. Katie and Rob knew they wanted to incorporate an activity into their session because they self-proclaimed that they’re awkward in front of the camera and wanted an activity to help them feel more comfortable. Let’s clear the air: we’re all awkward in front of the camera, myself included! Regardless, I absolutely loved the idea of incorporating some adventure into their session. We tossed around ideas and considered downhill skiing, skating, and cross country skiing but ultimately settled on a snowshoeing excursion out to a cabin on the Trapp property.

After the last year, it felt somewhat normal to be out in the woods enjoying each other’s company. While I definitely felt out of shape at times, these shots were worth the 17,000 steps we took back in February!

BEHIND THE LENS

MEET ELLEN

I grew up in Vermont and now call Boston home, but I'll always feel most like myself outdoors.

Whether I'm hiking, skiing, spending a long weekend along the shores of Lake Champlain, or returning to Maine with my family each summer, those are the places where I recharge. Before becoming a full-time photographer, I spent years teaching middle school. Looking back, I think that's where I learned the skill that matters most in this work: helping people feel comfortable enough to simply be themselves.

When I'm not photographing weddings, you'll find me planning my next trip to France, getting lost in a good book, cheering on the Boston Bruins, spending time with my family, or wishing I were finally in the right season of life to bring home a dog.
