Whether we are in my Chembur studio or at your home, I look for the moments when you forget the camera is there—like the way you look at your partner or the chaotic, sweet energy of your toddler. This is where the real memories live, not in perfect stillness. ### Documenting Your Roots Photography is about preserving who you are. I have spent 13 years focusing on the 'real' stuff—the messy hair, the unscripted laughs, and the cultural traditions that define your family. If you want a traditional Maharashtrian maternity shoot, I am your person. I love working with the drape of a Paithani saree and capturing the deep connection to our heritage. ### What To Expect - **No Stiff Poses:** My studio in Chembur or your living room is a space to relax. We keep things chill. You don't need to know how to 'model' for me. - **Traditional Touches:** For cultural shoots like naming ceremonies or saree portraits, I bring props like brass lamps and vintage stools. We focus on the details that make the moment feel timeless. - **Raw Emotion:** I am the photographer who captures the black and white candid shots that show your genuine expression, not just the smile you force for the camera. ### Important Details My packages are transparent. For studio sessions, please arrive camera-ready as professional makeup services are not included in my base fee. I focus on high-quality editing and delivering a gallery that feels like a storybook of your family's most precious chapters. Whether it is a solo maternity portrait or a full-house event, my aim is to make you feel completely at ease. ## About Indira Thakur I’m Indira. I’ve spent over a decade documenting the messy, beautiful reality of families, just like yours. Whether we’re in my Chembur studio or at your home, I’m here to capture the raw moments that feel like home, not a stiff magazine shoot.
