Brother and Me Newborn — Karen was very profession from the beginning to the end. She first asked me what kind of style I wanted and I sent her some pictures and she was very good at understanding what I was looking for. In addition she made a trip to my house just to show me what she would do that day and what prop she will be using and how she ensure the safety of the baby. The day of the photo shoot she arrived early to setup everything. Through out the entire session she made sure the baby was calm and we feel comfortable. After photo session she kept in touch to let us know where she is with the PSing the process when she would release the pictures. The pictures came out great!! I would highly recommend her. It’s beyond just the pictures it’s the whole wonderful experience you will have with Musen photography – Rena

Fall Family Outdoor at a Park — My kids were hesitant at first but Karen put us all at ease. She asked our opinion on what we would like to do. Karen did not have us do anything that made us feel uncomfortable. She was a true professional who got to know us. I would highly recommend Karen to take your family pictures. I was lucky enough to win the yearly giveaway. Otherwise, I would have missed out on this great opportunity to have a lasting family portrait that was made possible by Karen! – Amy

Extended family by a fence — The outdoor photo session with Karen was great: relaxed, moving quickly, with flexibility and care as to the comfort level of members of the group, which varied in age from 3 to 71 years old. Karen’s suggestion for the location was perfect, and the backgrounds for our group photos are stunning, with light, nature, and airiness that give them a lot of beauty and make them truly special. Karen promptly provided us with a gallery of fantastic photos after the session to choose the edits from, and the edited, finished photos arrived a few days later. We loved working with Karen and will do so in the future to mark more milestones for our family with beautiful keepsake photos. I highly recommend Photography by MuSen. – Agnes

Mermaid on sand — MAGICAL .. is the first word that came to mind when describing Karen and Karen’s work!!! She was so professional at the same time very accommodating with all my request! She is also one of a kind photographer that can make your dreams reality through her pictures! Every girl’s dream (including me of course) is to be that mystical character that you read in books – whether its a mermaid, fairy, angel, etc… name it and Karen will make it come true. Of course, it was not me who became a mermaid lol.. but my daughter who wanted to be one. She goes above and beyond! She was even the one who found the perfect mermaid costume for her and made sure the costume was designed using her favorite color! That is perfection at its finest! Overall the whole experience with her was priceless and purely MAGICAL! – Anna

On location maternity - family — We had a maternity bump photo shoot with Karen & we loved every bit of it. She gathered some information before hand so she could be prepared & it showed during the shoot. She was on time & gave us time to get ready. She was patient with my 3 yr old son who was taking his time to pose for the pictures. The pictures themselves came out really well, especially a few candid ones when my son was ready & smiling. She was very professional & prompt in her communication and We will definitely cherish these memories for a while and have no problem recommending her services to anyone that we know. Thanks so much Karen – G.

Family Beach Sunset — Karen has been our family photographer for years now, and prior to that, she’s been a great friend as well! She goes out of her way to get the best photos during each photo session, and my family and I couldn’t be happier. Not only do we get amazing photos, but we have such a great time shooting them with her. She comes up with great poses, and makes sure to capture the best lighting/sun in every single one of them. I can’t say enough how much I look forward to her sneak peaks from each session, because even those, she makes even more special. She made my gymnast her very own inspirational poster of herself, and I have beautiful posters she put together of my kids! Last but certainly not least, every photo shoot, she surprises us with something new. Last year, we had my daughter as a mermaid and Karen did amazing special effects. Our family session consisted of a beautiful portrait that she then combined with our shadows, and it still amazes me. This session, she made a moving LIVE portrait of our family. The water behind us, was moving. I can happily say that we will continue doing our photos with Photography by MuSen for every photo session! – Jackie

Brothers BW — I was so pleased with Karen’s work. She had so many great backgrounds and props. She was so patient with my young boys and made us all feel comfortable.

I would highly recommend her to friends and family and plan to have her take more of our family photos in the future. – Michelle

Unicorn and Book Newborn — Karen was very patient and went with the flow. We didn’t feel pressured to speed up so we could fit everything in before Karen had to go; in fact, an end time was never mentioned except to say that the average session is 3-4 hours (ours was 5+). Karen was also good about bringing adorable props, thinking up cute poses, and jumping in to help (vs. being reluctant to handle babies). It was an overall positive experience. – Jen
