Christmas Tree Farm Extended Family Session
This holiday season brings me a very special session. I have always wanted to do an outdoor holiday session at a Christmas tree farm. Lots of thanks to Giamarese Farm & Orchards for providing the location.
What makes it even more special is that it is an extended family session with 11 little cousins. Their grandparents have been asking forever for a picture of all the grandchildren. Their parents can never organize it so they thought it would be a great holiday surprise!
They just love to be together with their cousins. The girls love to play dolls and the boys love to play Nerf War!
“We tried to be not matchy matchy but still coordinate. We started with maroon and went from there. ”
Tyler – The first born, the Prince! Jameson – The Happiest; Dylan – Cries all the time, “LOL but really she does!”
Isabella (Right) – First born girl , rule follower, always does the right thing; Mia (Left) – Spunky. “Born three weeks after our Mom’s Dad passed away and she is just like him!”, said Mia’s Mom; Brody (middle) – Idolize Tyler. “He is funny!”
Glorianna (Left) – Kindest! Best best best friends with Mia; Gianna (Right) – Best smile ever! The silliest.
Ava (Right) – The perfectionist, so smart! Emma (Left) – Miss independent! Max (Middle) – Last baby cousin! Shares Isabella’s birthday!
Their parents favorite part of the session: Watching the kids interact, laugh, and just be happy to be together!
The parents were worried about coordinating them all. “Even though it seems undoable, you will love the pictures no matter how they come out because they show cousins who really care for each other. ”
From MuSen: What a fun fun fun session! The kids have so much energy! For this session I added bonus winterize effects to every picture. Clients get both original and winterized versions. There is no need to wait for real snow day. Session took place on a fairly warm day as you could see from the outfits. As many like to dress light for photo sessions, including winterize effect helps to erase your worrying about kids getting sick from the cold weather.
Again I cannot thank enough for Giamarese Farm & Orchards for this! Instead of charging us for location fee, the Giamarese family asks everyone to help support Farmers Against Hunger! We made our donation. Join us and donate here.

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."

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.

"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!"
