Kim Long Photography: Information: Lifestyle Photojournalism

Imagine having a special day in your life or an occasion you might ordinarily document in snapshots instead professionally captured and presented in an evocative "picture story" as if it were a special feature for a lifestyle magazine.

As an experienced WPJA wedding photojournalist, I am excited to apply this artistic documentary approach to other momentous life experiences and special events, such as (but not limited to):

  • birth/ adoption
  • family outings, trip to the zoo, carnival, park, etc.
  • birthday/ quinceañera/ anniversary/ retirement/ bon voyage parties*
  • reunions
  • religious ceremonies/ celebrations*
  • milestones like first haircuts, dental visits, etc.
  • graduation
  • veteran homecoming

* Depending on the kind of coverage and inclusions desired, clients may instead choose to contract their special occasion or event under one of my wedding plans.

Clients may choose from two kinds of Lifestyle PJ coverage plans: Bespoke or Prêt -à-Porter
