Hi, there! I’m Karen - a boutique family photographer with a special love for babies! 

About Karen

Adopt A High School Senior

I continued with my “adoption” project celebrating local moving up and graduating students impacted by COVID-19. After posting a question in my Facebook group, I received several responses. And this one came through. Rose, an independent, creative and enthusiastic East Brunswick High School senior, said “yes” to the “adoption”. She chose to have the pictures taken at the school on her official graduation day (June 17, 2020) in her cap and gown.

During the photoshoot, I had a nice chat with Rose. When asking how she coped with the quarantine. She told me she was doing fine.

“It was hard being in the house all the time but it gave me more time to focus on myself and do things that I enjoy, like making art and watching movies. It feels a bit odd that I watched myself graduate over a YouTube sideshow and not experience it in a big arena like I’ve seen so many classes before me do. I am happy that an alternative graduation was decided upon on July 6th as it will feel more like a traditional graduation.” – said Rose

Rose will be attending the Nursing Program at Emmanuel College in Boston. She choose nursing because her overall goal is to become a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, which first requires her to be a Registered Nurse.

Rose told me what she look forward to the most about college will be going to a new place and being able to explore a new area of my life.

I can’t wait to study in Boston!

We also took some pictures at the athletic field. Alternative graduation ceremonies as four separate events were held there on July 6 and 7.

Rose told me she didn’t have many concerns about the photoshoot. She was very excited to have me take her pictures because she had heard that my work is always incredible. (Thank you!!)

We also replicated a pose from Rose’s preschool graduation, which is one of her favorites!

The session was great! My pictures came out so nice and professional. I loved it and can’t wait to look back on these pictures forever.

Congratulations and best wishes on your new adventure Rose! And best wishes to all the Class of 2020. You guys are truly making history!

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.  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 .

"Karen is absolutely amazing."
