I recommend booking as early as possible, especially for spring and fall sessions, which fill up quickly. Newborn sessions are best reserved during your second trimester to ensure availability. Family, maternity, senior, and branding sessions are typically booked 1-3 months in advance.

Don't worry about figuring it out on your own! Every session includes personalized outfit styling to help coordinate your family's look. You'll also have access to my client closet filled with beautiful dresses for moms & outfits for kids, making the planning process easy and stress-free.

We'll choose a location based on the style you're looking for. I photograph at beautiful outdoor locations throughout Columbia, Harrisburg, and Mid-Missouri, and I also offer natural light studio sessions for newborns, milestone sessions, and select family sessions.

Studio sessions are typically held during the day when natural light is at its best. Outdoor sessions are scheduled about an hour before sunset to capture the warm, golden light you see throughout my portfolio.

This is probably the question I hear most, and I promise you're not alone! I don't expect children to sit perfectly still or smile on command. I encourage parents to relax and let me take the lead. Some of the sweetest images come from playing, exploring, cuddling, and simply being together.

Your fully edited online gallery will be delivered within two weeks of your session. You'll be able to download your images, share them with family and friends, and order professional-quality prints directly from your gallery.

If the weather doesn't cooperate, we'll simply reschedule your outdoor session for the next available date. I keep a close eye on the forecast and will contact you if any changes are needed. Sunshine adds so much to your images, so if flexibility allows, I like to reschedule on gloomy days as well.

Every session includes a carefully edited gallery filled with the best images from your session. The exact number depends on the session type. Typical full sessions will include 50+ images. Mini sessions include 15 images with the option to purchase more from the gallery for $15/image.

Absolutely! You don't need any experience in front of the camera. I'll gently guide you into natural poses while also encouraging genuine interaction so your photos feel relaxed and authentic rather than stiff or overly posed.

Yes! While I'm based near Columbia and Harrisburg, Missouri, I'm happy to travel throughout Mid-Missouri and beyond. If your session is outside my regular service area, a travel fee may apply.

Absolutely! Grandparents and pets are always welcome. Just let me know before your session so we can choose a pet-friendly location if needed and plan accordingly. If you're bringing a pet, I recommend having someone available to help when they're not in the photos.

I specialize in newborn, maternity, family, senior, boudoir, and branding photography. Whether you're welcoming a new baby, celebrating a milestone, updating family photos, or showcasing your business, I'd love to help tell your story with timeless, natural images.

Session pricing varies depending on the type of session you're looking for. Whether you're booking a newborn, family, maternity, senior, or branding session, you'll find all of the details on my Pricing (www.hollymuellerphoto.com/pricing) page. If you're not sure which session is the best fit, feel free to reach out. I'm always happy to help!

Absolutely! Every session includes high-resolution digital images with a print release, so you're welcome to print them wherever you'd like. If printing them yourself, I recommend MPIX.com. For the best color, quality, and longevity, I also offer professional prints and products through your online gallery from a trusted professional lab.

One of my favorite parts of the experience is helping you plan what to wear! Every session includes personalized outfit styling through the styling system I created, Style & Select, so you don't have to figure it out on your own. I'll send curated outfit ideas with links to pieces from popular retailers, or you can borrow a dress from my client closet. Together, we'll create outfits that photograph beautifully and feel like you.
