As a busy Mom with 3 school-age kids, I know first-hand how difficult it is to arrange portrait sessions for newborns and pets. To make things easier, I’ve developed a mobile studio that delivers the traditional studio experience at the comfort of your own home.
For young children and their important milestones, get a professional photoshoot with all the planning done for you at my studio with premium portrait services.
Or, book an outdoor session at scenic landscapes, famous landmarks, and cultural settings that beat any artificial backdrop for couples, your entire family, or during maternity.
Looking for some personal shots? Get professional headshots and branding services done for you at-home, my studio, or your place of work!

I had an extremely anxious pregnancy after my miscarriage, which is why I didn't reach out to you until so late, but you really went out of your way to accommodate and make it happen for me and my family. I'm so glad that I have all these photos of this special time in our lives and the captures of (our) brand new baby. I'll be forever grateful for the perfect moments you captured. Thank you again, so much."
"Hi Karen. Just wanted to really say thank you again for everything with our sessions. I could not be happier with how they both turned out."

We have gotten many compliments from visiting guests. The photos you took are candid and captured true moments of joy. The product has amazing quality and yet very easy to install. I can’t wait to get another great collage for the upcoming family shoots. Thank you Karen.

She listened to what type of photos we were looking to achieve and offered suggestions since she is in fact the professional! Karen was always very responsive if I had any questions leading up to the actual photo shoot and was an absolute pleasure to work with the day of our session. Everything went very smooth, and our proofs were delivered very quickly. After the selection process, our final images were delivered also very quickly and looked so amazing. We have received so many compliments and will be using Karen again in the future. I highly recommend MuSen Photography to anyone looking for quality professional photography!
"Karen was amazing to work with from the very beginning through to the delivery of our final photos"

I hired her to do my daughters first birthday party photos and she captured the moment perfectly. I was so pleased with her work I hired her again to do a mother and daughters photo shoot for Mother’s Day. She NAILED IT one of the most beautiful photo shoots I have ever seen. Karen picked the location, lighting, told us how to pose her eye for perfection is beyond words she saw my vision and made it come true. She also was very easy to contact and communicate with. The turn over time to receive the photos was fast and easy. Karen is also very sweet it was truly a pleasure working with her. I highly recommend her and if perfection is what you seek Karen is definitely the one. I look forward to working with her again. Thank you so much Karen you rock .

"Our family has had the pleasure of working with Karen for multiple sessions over the years, starting back in 2021 with our son's memorable first birthday photoshoot. Since that first wonderful experience, Karen has become our go-to photographer for capturing our family's most precious moments. She's beautifully documented everything from family portraits, the exciting pregnancy announcement for our first daughter, her delicate newborn photos, her first birthday celebration, and most recently, our second daughter's first birthday! What truly sets Karen apart is her incredible sincerity and thoroughness. Every time we have a session, it feels like reconnecting with a dear friend – like no time has passed at all. She has a genuine gift for building lasting relationships with the families she works with, making everyone feel comfortable and at ease.
Our family has grown from four to six since we started working with Karen, and our children now range in age from 1 to 12. Handling this dynamic requires a special talent, and Karen does it with unbelievable grace and ease. For any parents searching for a photographer who excels with multiple young children, Karen is your person! She masterfully navigates the beautiful chaos of our young family, capturing genuine smiles and personalities amidst it all. The photos we have from MuSen Photos are treasures, perfectly reflecting each stage of our lovely, busy life. We are so grateful for Karen and look forward to many more sessions! - Jessica"
"We absolutely cannot recommend Karen and MuSen Photos highly enough!"
