Where is Cool Yule?
This year, we are offering TWO types of Cool Yule experiences !
The Silver Orchid Studio in the Skippack Village, will host Cool Yule session November 23rd thru December 7th. The studio is located at 4039 Skippack Pike in Skippack, PA
We will be heading back to Buck Nursery Tree Farm, located at 3267 E Buck Rd #2891 Pennsburg, PA, for a limited number of extended family minis on 11/9 & 11/10 with a rain date of 11/16 & 11/7
At both locations, you will experience all the same holiday joy and spirit your have come to cherish and THIS YEAR YOU WILL also find some fun, new elevated set experiences. This year you can expect smaller crowds, 1-on-1 time with Santa, and a peaceful night out in the village. Your kids can write letters to Santa, take home crafts, and even snuggle up to a live reindeer!
When booking please double check to ensure you have chosen the correct location.

What should I expect?
Cool Yule signature sessions are 10 minutes each (plenty of time for individual and family photos). Please arrive 10-15 minutes early to check in for your session
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 7-10 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.
*PLEASE NOTE: Tree Farm Sessions are a premium extended time slot og 15 MINUTES!
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.
Can I book more than one set?
Absolutely! If you are booking more than one session on the same day, please allow at least 20 mins or more in between bookings to give yourself time to move from set to set and fit in an outfit change if you’d like.
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 the Skippack studio and Tree farm and Reindeer locations will not have a changing area. We highly recommend you arrive in your session outfits ready for the session.
