Newborn + Family Photography
Maternity Sessions
There are so many beautiful emotions to celebrate before baby arrives and I love capturing this special time for couples and families.
Newborn Sessions
Tiny toes, back rolls, fuzzy hair, soft skin – you don’t want to forget the perfect details of your brand new baby. They will never be this small again.
Family Sessions
Toddling chubby legs, gap-toothed smiles, giggle, and snuggles – let’s capture all the good stuff as your family grows and changes. From seasonal mini sessions to homestead sessions, make a habit of preserving the memories.
Timeless custom newborn and family photography. Serving Indianapolis since 2011.

Indianapolis Newborn Photographer | Welcome Baby Amelia
Amelia is baby number 3 for the beautiful Powell family and the first baby girl!
Since Amelia was born so close to Christmas, we did a few holiday-themed photos of all three children. Newborns and siblings aren’t always the easiest combo to photograph, but even youngest brother Leland did superbly.

About Your Photographer
Hi, my name is Shaindel, I am the photographer/business owner behind Raw Sugar Photography. I decided to turn my passion into my business back in 2011 and haven’t looked back. In my former life, I was a TV news producer and I’m still a news junkie at heart. I love a good story, I just tell it now with pictures instead of words.
What Clients Are Saying
“My husband and I were referred to Shaindel by our friends who had their photos taken by her and we drove from Chicago to get them done. She did such a fantastic job at shooting our newborn. She was patient when our son became fussy and we did not feel rushed at all. She swaddled him in a way I never thought was possible and in the cutest way. The photos turned out perfect and we are so glad we made the trip to have her take once in a lifetime photos of our family.“

“Shaindel took my daughter’s newborn photos (my third child) and honestly these are my favorite of the three newborn sessions (all with different photographers). These are absolutely amazing images that she was able to capture of my family and my daughter! I highly recommend Raw Sugar Photography. She is incredibly professional, very timely, and her work is simply perfection! Thank you for giving us these amazing images of our baby girl!“
