Would you believe it if I told you it was raining 20 minutes before this gorgeous Mill Pond Park engagement session?! After sneaking a peek at the radar, we decided that we should continue on with the session. And, let me tell you–I’m so glad we did! As any New Englander knows, peak fall colors […]

You could say that I came home from Allison and Eric’s Arnold Arboretum engagement session ecstatic. You could also say that I came home cold! The weather truly kept us on our toes. We had a mix of sunshine, dark clouds, harsh winds, and drizzle. But we still were able to capture this important milestone […]

If anything makes me happy, it’s definitely a fall shoot! I love the vibrant oranges and reds, but during this session I discovered that I also love finding a pile of neutral leaves! I fell in love with the earthy feel of this shoot, and hopefully, you will too. ☺️ Now that Julia and Preston […]

Of course, I was happy to help! The only problem was that it was BELOW FREEZING when we took these pictures. 🥶 Ryan, Jillian, […]

But what comes next? Of course, there are many right ways to plan your wedding, but in my opinion, picking […]

I don’t know about you, but 2019 has been a year of crazy highs and lows! I started Christine Hazel Photography in the spring, so of course, that was a high! I had so much fun this year documenting weddings, engagements, senior sessions, rehearsal dinners, and more. I’m also super grateful that I can document […]
