Maternity, Newborn and Family Photography

Indi Families is the family and maternity studio of The Indi Collective. Same photographers, same light, turned toward the people who are just getting started. We photograph maternity, newborn, milestone and extended family sessions.

Maternity photography

Coastal bluffs, golden hillsides and marine layer fog. Our maternity sessions are unhurried and mostly unposed: we walk, you talk to each other, and we photograph what actually happens. The best booking window is 30 to 36 weeks, when you are visibly pregnant and still comfortable on your feet. Flowing gowns, partners, older siblings and dogs are all welcome, and we will send an outfit guide before the shoot.

Newborn and baby photography

Newborn sessions happen in your home in the first two to three weeks, in whatever natural light the room gives us. No props, no backdrops, no posed baskets. Feeding breaks and grandparents are part of the plan.

Family and milestone sessions

Annual family portraits, first birthdays, and big extended family sessions when everyone is finally together. These are built around children who will not sit still, which is the entire point.

Extended family and reunion sessions

Grandparents in from out of town, cousins reuniting, three generations in one frame — we build bigger sessions around logistics as much as light. See how extended family sessions work.

Where we photograph

Indi Families works across the coast and inland — open bluffs, quiet beaches, golden hillsides and your own home. Most outdoor sessions are timed for an hour before sunset.

What a session looks like

Sessions run 60 to 90 minutes. You get a location and outfit guide when you book, sneak peeks within 48 hours, and your full edited gallery in about two weeks, delivered online with print and download rights.
