Chestnut Ridge

Woods + Lake +fields with tall grasses

One of the most poplar location for buffalo photographers year round. This location is the perfect spot for those amazing buffalo sunsets behind the trees and most of all, fall photos. The fields are in different places around the park but we know the ones! . This spot has wildflowers in spring/summer and the most perfect buffalo fall leaves. Seventh Arrow will lead you to the hidden gems of the park as we like to shoot off the beaten path. There are three different sections of the park that we like to photograph depending on the time off day, amount of people, outfits and time of year. Pet friendly, however there is a dog park there so please let us know that you will be bring your pet.

We have made a Pinterest board for outfit suggestions for exclusively for Chestnut Ridge. 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? Um...yes please! I do ask you to bring someone with you for your pet as they will need attention when not in the shots. Typically we ask you to bring your pet either the first or last ten minutes of the session. Let us know that you are bring a pet with you, some locations may have rules regarding pets. of audiences.

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.
