Buffalo Beaches
Woodlawn beach in Hamburg // Hamburg Beach // Beaver Island State Park
Popular session spot for the summertime for sure! While most of the beach cost money during the day to enjoy, dusk is free and that is the time that we recommend the most anyway and most of the crowds have left. This can go either way, dressier or casual romantic. Anyway you choose it will be a night to remember. Hamburg beach does require a town residence sticker.
the three most popular types of outfits for engagements: option one : a flowy dress and a nice bottom up // option two: white shirts with jeans // option three: bathing suits
We have made a Pinterest board for outfit suggestions for exclusively for Beach Photography. Not all outfits work at all locations. Outfits that would look and work great at Chestnut Ridge won’t necessarily look the best at Amherst State Park for example. That is why we made this list for you. We will be texting or emailing for outfits and links to outfits that you are thinking of based of this board so that we can help you look and feel the best in the photos. Try mixing different textures and adding accessories to your outfit to add more interest. We want you to feel comfortable and look your best. The best places to look for cloths for sessions is H&M, Amazon, Shein, Zara, Batlic born, Asos or local boutiques. This process will help you feel the most comfortable with each other and it is very important for all sessions with Seventh Arrow. If you need any help, please email us any questions!

FAQ:
Can I bring my dog? Not to the beaches unfortunately.
Can we do an outfit change? The sessions are typically 60 minutes so yes, as long as you are quick about it. There is limited places to change as these are outdoor public locations and bathrooms tend to be locked. Many times clients that chose to do a change of cloths have to do a change in the car.
Should I spray tan before my session? We ask that you your skin tone is as close to natural as possible. Men typically don’t spray tan, so you could end up looking more orange in camera when photographed next to someone without a spray tan.
How long before I see images from my session? typically turn around time is two to three weeks (weddings are longer) and you will get an email with a link to view them. They will all be edited and then you will get to chose your favorites from the gallery.
