The staff at the National Elk Refuge has been anxiously flipping through L.L. Bean holiday catalogs this month, looking for familiar scenes and models after serving as a shooting location for the well-known retail company earlier this year. Finding the most recognizable shot was easy: the refuge’s historic Miller House is
prominently featured on the cover of a recently released 2018 Gift Guide issue.

catalogs that feature clothing and outdoor receation equipment. Senior Photo Producer Melissa Klein explained that shooting out of season isn’t ideal but is necessary considering the production time it takes to put together the catalogs.

Refuge Outreach Coordinator Lori Iverson was on location at the Miller House with the crew during the photo shoot and allowed to
take pictures on the condition that images of the models sporting this year’s line of clothing not be shared before the catalogs debuted. Now that the cat is out of the bag – or should we say the dog is on the cover? – it’s fair game to have a little fun and post pictures
of the professional catalog shoot.
Addtional images of the event, including the prep work that went into creating the realistic winter scene, are posted on the refuge’s Flickr photo site at https://bit.ly/2QEqwSV.
