The Elves' Guide to Your Visit

  • The Elves’ Cottage is an immersive, holiday-themed photo experience designed to capture your family’s memories in a setting full of magic and wonder. Each year, our setup transforms with fresh themes, colors, and unique decor—so every visit feels like stepping into a new storybook scene!

  • Please arrive 5-10 minutes before your scheduled session. This gives you time to get cozy, check-in and step right into the magic.

  • After your session, all images will be sent to the email or phone number you provide at check-in within 48 hours. Powered by Smilebooth.

  • Up to 4 humans can comfortably fit in the cottage for a cozy photo session. Sometimes, there’s a window or a hidden nook just right for an extra head to pop through—so bring your best peek-a-boos!

  • The Elves’ Cottage sessions sell out fast! If the date you want is fully booked, you can email us at hello@smilebooth.com with your desired date and location to join the waitlist. We’ll reach out if any slots open up.

  • Because this is a special, seasonal experience, all bookings are final and non-refundable. If you’re unable to make it to your session, 50% of your booking will be donated locally.

  • Come as you are, or go full festive with coordinated outfits—whatever makes you feel magical! Solids work especially well for capturing the cottage’s details, but don’t hold back on a little holiday flair. Each year’s theme brings its own charm, so any whimsical, holiday-inspired attire will look fantastic!

  • Absolutely, pets are family! If your pet is cooperative and comfy in a small space, they’re more than welcome.
