Family Photography Manila: Honest Stories, Real Moments

Documenting real family moments through calm outdoor sessions and intimate at-home storytelling across Metro Manila.

REAL FAMILIES, REal STORIES

Portfolio

This gallery is a collection of those moments, real families photographed in their homes, neighborhoods, and favorite Manila spaces. Each image is a reminder that beauty lives in the unposed, the unscripted, and the deeply human parts of your everyday life. At Sunday Stories Photography, we create family photography in Manila that feels warm, connected, and genuinely true to each family we meet.

DOCUMENTARY-STYLE SESSIONS

Photographs That Feel Like Home

The quiet in-between spaces —
the soft gestures, the fleeting interactions, the parts of family life
that happens naturally when no one’s watching.

That’s where the best stories live.

Sunday Stories is our way of honoring them:
the quiet laughter that fills a room without effort
the late-afternoon hugs,
the messy laughter,
the tiny rituals that hold a family together.

These moments matter.

Some kind words

“Sunday Stories didn’t try to control our kids — they embraced the chaos during our at-home family photoshoot. Somehow, they turned wild, unposed moments into soft, documentary-style family portraits that feel timeless. These candid memories are exactly why we booked a natural family photography session in the first place.”

The Agbayani Family, Mandaluyong

Some kind words

“We were so nervous because we’re both camera-shy, but Sunday Stories made everything feel calm and natural. No one asked us to pose or smile. No one made us feel pressured. They just let us be a family — messy, loud, loving, real — and the photos reflected that beautifully. We cried seeing the gallery. It felt like they photographed the heart of our home.”

— Mark & Camille, Quezon City

A Gentle Approach Made for Modern Families

You don’t need to pose perfectly or smile on command.
Your children don’t need to “behave.”
Your family doesn’t need to perform.

I follow your natural rhythm:

real cuddles

real laughter

real moments that unfold on their own

real personality from your kids

You exist. I observe. The connection becomes the story.

Some kind words

“We saw Sunday Stories through a friend’s recommendation and instantly loved the documentary style of family photography. We were tired of stiff family portraits and wanted something more honest. The candid moments they captured during our family photoshoot in Manila made us feel like we were seeing our everyday life from a softer lens. It felt natural, unposed, and exactly what modern families like us are looking for.”

LEGACY-SESSION

Grandparents have been asking for a photo session with all of her kids and grandkids for years! She wants to fill her home with photos of all the people who bring her joy. Perfect for big families even with multiple shoot location.

Some kind words

“We kept seeing Sunday Stories recommended in mom groups for families who prefer natural photos. Their family photography feels warm and familiar, like a memory you didn’t realize was special until you see it. We booked them because we loved how their family photography feels like home. Our session felt comfortable, and the candid moments were exactly what we hoped for.”

"This Could’ve Been a Disaster"

“We thought the session would be a disaster — skipped naps, toddler negotiations, and snacks everywhere. But Pat stayed so friendly and composed the entire time, we started to believe she might actually be a magician. The photos turned out amazing. You would never guess what happened behind the scenes.”

— The Rivera Family, Pasig
