Kim Long Photography: Experience: Journalistic

Imagine having a special day in your life or an occasion you might ordinarily document in snapshots instead covered professionally in an evocative "picture story" just as if it were a feature for an upscale lifestyle magazine! As an experienced WPJA wedding photojournalist, I welcome the opportunity to apply this style and storytelling approach to other momentous life experiences, such as (but not limited to):

  • marriage proposals (secretly planned under the guise of a portrait session to keep it a surprise until the big moment)
  • birth
  • adoption day
  • family outing, mini-vacation or day trip to the zoo, carnival, park, etc.
  • birthday/ anniversary/ retirement parties
  • family reunions
  • religious ceremonies/ celebrations
  • milestones like first haircuts, dental visits, etc.
  • prom preparation
  • graduation
  • prenatal or ultrasound visit and shopping excursion for baby
  • veteran homecomings
  • closing on or moving into a new house
  • expectant parents going in for an ultrasound or checkup

Investment: Lifestyle Photojournalism
