story session
The complete Sansan experience — a heartfelt way to tell your family’s story.
Your Story, Honestly Told
You probably have hundreds of photos on your phone — tiny snapshots of your family’s everyday life. But when you look back, it’s hard to find one that truly makes your heart pause — one that feels like you.
Maybe you’re the mom who’s always behind the camera, chasing moments between work and home. You try to keep it all, yet time keeps moving faster than you can capture.
And when you scroll through social media and see those perfect, polished pictures, your heart tugs a little. But that’s their story — not yours.
Let me help you tell
The real one — tender, imperfect, full of love, and completely your own.
yours!
Perfect for you if…
- You want a full, cohesive story rather than just a handful of pretty photos.
- Your child needs time to warm up, and you want a session where everyone can relax into being themselves.
- You’d love a mix of family interactions, children’s portraits, parents together, and sibling moments.
- You’re hoping for a gallery that becomes wall art, albums, and treasured keepsakes
- You want the true Sansan Photography experience — unrushed, emotional, honest, and full of storytelling.
If that's you, just
What's includes:
- A quick chat — before the session, we’ll take a few minutes to connect so I can get to know your family a little better and hear what your vision for this session looks like. (If you prefer, we can do this over email instead.)
-Professional wardrobe and location guidance — I’ll help you choose outfits, colors, and settings that photograph beautifully and reflect your family’s natural style.
- 90 minutes spent together — we’ll photograph in a place that feels like you: your home, a favorite park, or somewhere your kids love to explore. The focus is on connection, laughter, and genuine moments — not posing.
- More than 80 hand-edited images — honest, heartfelt, and full of the little in-between moments that make your family unique.
- A beautiful slideshow — a story told through movement and music, capturing your family just as you are, right now.
*add on: This session is designed for one nuclear family — parents and their children. If you’d like to include extended or multi-family members, an additional $200 will be added to accommodate the extra time and coordination.
*traffic fee:Because my base is in the South Bay, a travel fee of $50–$100 may apply for certain Bay Area locations.
Sansan captured stunning pictures that truly showcased the beauty of the moment and I couldn't be more thrilled with the results. What impressed me most was how comfortable she made us feel throughout the session. Her guidance was natural and effortless, eliminating any awkwardness. Additionally, I appreciate that the photos reflect my true self, with minimal editing. I still see myself in every picture, which means a lot to me.
Thank you Sansan! for your incredible work and dedication. You have an amazing talent for capturing the heart of life's most special moments.
