Where is Cool Yule?

This years event has multiple locations. Cool Yule signature weekends will be held at Highlands Mansion in Fort Washington, a premium experience weekend will be held in Skippack along with multiple dates for in-studio sessions in Skippack.

Check the information page or booking confirmation for details!

What should I expect?

Cool Yule signature weekend sessions are 10 minutes each (plenty of time for individual and family photos).   Crafts and Refreshments can be enjoyed during the weekend dates at Highlands Mansion.

** Skippack sessions will not have crafts and refreshments due to space constraints.

Please arrive 15-20 minutes early.  You should check in  when you arrive.

10 minute sessions? How is this possible?

There is so much wonder and magic happening that there is no shortage of time with Santa and in all the other sets.  My team delivers 5-10 final images to each client.  My photographers aim for a smile, but will also capture all the wonder and the magic that your children experience in those in between moments.

What are your health & safety guidelines?

Silver Orchid will continually monitor and follow state mandated guidelines regarding health and safety.

Bring Your Own Props this year!

In order to keep things safe and clean for your kiddos I am encouraging BYOP.  Don’t worry we spend months planning and preparing a beautifully curated set for you, but bring a special book or lovie or favorite toy to make your photos all the more personal.

Here are some great ideas!

Are pets allowed at Cool Yule?

You are welcome to bring pets to any of the truck sessions at Highlands Mansion and to the Classic Christmas Sessions in the studio.  **Dogs  are not allowed inside the gardens or mansion at Highlands Mansion.

Can I bring extended families for sessions?

Due the the time restrictions of Cool Yule sessions, extended and combined sessions can only be honored if you book multiple, back to back sessions.  Please contact support@silverorchidphotography.coms to confirm the number of sessions you should book.

Are some of the sets designed to fit adults?

All the sets can accommodate adults.

Will there be somewhere to change?

There is a changing area at Highlands Mansion, however none of the Skippack locations will have a changing area.
