: It was an absolute pleasure to work with Karen! She has a great eye, fun props and such patience. The talent Karen has comes out in the pictures and collages. I’m looking forward to doing more photo shoots! – Donna

: Karen is truly fantastic!!! We can’t thank her enough for the gorgeous photos she took of our newborn, our six year old and our family. She beautifully captured such a precious time in our newborn daughter’s life. We will always cherish and be grateful for these images! Karen was also truly wonderful to work with. Her patience, as well as her gentle and sweet disposition, with the baby and her older sister were unparallel! She arrived to our home, quietly set up and provided all of the props for the session. We look forward to working with her again for future sessions with our girls! – Roula

: Thank you Karen and your amazing talents for capturing this picture of my babies all as their true selves! 😘❤😘❤ this is my daily life, not staged at all! The best part of this was how natural it was and how you captured it! Totally just them being themselves!! I love it, thank you!! – Stacie

: 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.

: God bless Karen! She makes taking pictures of 4 (well mostly 3) overly dramatic girls look easy! – Mary

: Karen has good personality and she was so patient with my 3 little kids. She is also always try to accommodate our request. We love the pictures she took… – June

: Photographers are often asked to distinguish themselves with 3 words. Unique, Creative & Innovative are the words I would choose for Karen. Her work takes fantasy to another level. Her passion & motivation are not to be questioned. A piece of her shines through in every image she creates. – Owner-operator Brooke Mendenhall Photography

: It was great! Thank you so much everything is beautiful! And I love the necklace! Thank you! – Nikki

: The thing I LOVE most about your Photography, Karen, is that you capture the “Perfect Personalities” of your subjects. I can tell your work right off the bat, as soon as it pops up in my feed!! – LuLaRoe Patti Robideau

: We are so lucky to have Karen take my younger son’s 2nd birthday picture and our family picture. She is very responsive and accommodating. She really took the time to find the best locations in the park and she made sure everything was just right before she took our pictures. My boys were every comfortable with Karen and the photos came out great! Karen is very personable and professional. We highly recommend her! – Jane

: Karen was so accommodating!!! Anything that we wanted to try or do, she obliged. We were a large group, but she was organized and very easy to work with. Also, Karen was honest. If a picture wasn’t working, she let us know and we would try something different. – Dianna

: We really enjoyed working with you. It was so easy and you are very friendly . We liked your work and our friends also like them. We can see your effort in all the pictures. We are so happy the ways these photo sessions happened. Thanks a lot to make our happiness more memorable with your photography! – Madhu and Sudipta

: Karen is an enormously talented photographer with an eye for composition, color and narrative. She patiently photographed my 7 year old daughter’s First Holy Communion in absolute perfection. We highly recommend Karen! – Robyn

: 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

: Karen is such a great photographer and person all around. She is prompt and totally professional. Are her equipment and gear she brings to you, to create a home studio, which is a super convenience when dealing with children. She allows you to be yourself during the photo session bringing out amazing natural pictures. She also does fantastic editing and post processing work that makes the pictures go from amazing to stellar! I love working with her, and cannot wait for our next photo session. – Lizzy

: I booked our family winter mini sessions with Karen at her space in Spotswood at the Academy of Music and Dance. This was an amazing family experience! She was able to maintain patients, professionalism and control over three young children. We have the most perfect holiday family pictures. I’m looking forwarding to booking our future out door photo shoot with Karen. – Heather

: The experience was fun and stress free. The kids weren’t super cooperative but you were patient and waited for the right moment. – Denisse

: 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. It was so convenient to have it all done in the comfort of our own home. When I received the pictures I was amazed and more then satisfied. She is very talented and creative. I would highly recommend her to friends and family and plan to have her take more of our family photos in the future. – Michelle

: 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

: YOUR PHOTOGRAPHS/VISIONS along with the STORIES that ACCOMPANY THEM are TRULY WONDERFUL to LOOK & SEE & ENJOY!! – Diane

: The session with Karen was amazing. We all felt comfortable and relaxed. Her enegery was great. Since it was in February it was a little cold but she worked hard on giving us the pictures we wanted and still making it quick so we didn’t freeze. Karen’s preparation for the shoot was unbelievable. She goes above and beyond to get the vision you are looking for. I can’t wait for her to do our special day! – Stephanie and Phil

: OMG!!!! I am in love with my photos !!!!!! Thank you sooooo much Karen that we have a complete portfolio of every season!!!!! – Sara

: Thank you for the amazing job you did with Dylan’s birthday shoot. The time and effort you put into the planning and the little details to make sure everything coordinated with her outfit is very much appreciated. – Jenn

: 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

: Love my photos taken by Karen! She did every pose that I asked. It was so nice to have her come to the house and set up here. Everyone compliments her work when they see the pictures. – Lisa

: Karen!! your work is simply AMAZING! You were so patience and professional with L. Your pictures and creativity shows how passionate you are. I can’t wait to see what you have in store for my little J. – Mimi

: 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

: I didn’t want your typical studio communion pictures so I reached out to Karen. My twins, Hailey and Hunter enjoyed every minute of their photoshoot. The pictures look absolutely amazing and the effects are out of this world. We love every single picture and can’t wait for our family shoot. – Suzanne

: 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

: Karen is an amazing photographer. I did family photos with her, at an outdoor setting, and every single photo has become a favorite. She is very kind and patient when it comes to kids especially! (My 2 year old boy isn’t always cooperative, and she made it fun for him!) I also did an in home dress up session for my kids! The photos that she made from this, were incredible! They were so realistic, it was amazing. My daughter was a mermaid, and my son a fisherman, and the water photos she provided us, out of this world! I highly recommend Karen as a photographer for whatever your needs may be! 2 different types of photos for us, 2 different times, and we wouldn’t choose anyone else going forward! – Jackie

: 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

: Christmas 2017! Thank you Karen for capturing these moments – Rose

: Karen is extremely dedicated to her clients. She picked out a great location and she toured the place ahead of time so she know exactly the spots to visit during photo shoot. working with kids are not easy especially one that runs around all the time. As mom of three, she knows how to interact with them and make the photo shoot a fun experience for little ones. I am so happy with the pictures and there are so many good ones to choose from. Highly recommend! – Nancy

: Karen was very professional, patient, knowledgeable and encouraging. My girls had a great time as did I. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone considering her services! – Johanna

: Karen has been great to work with, not just during the session but also before and after. Not only was she willing to help and give suggestions on outfits before the session, her level of customer service on the back end with regards to editing is superb. The session itself went well and I am very happy with the pictures. I would definitely recommend her photo services to friends. – Analisa
