findind an old photographer - 12-01-2008, 04:33 PM

So 8 years ago, right before we left the Dallas area, we had family photos taken. I've tried to call the photographer with the number on her card I still have, no luck. Googled until I was frustrated, and now I just want to scan the silly think....which will stink, but my daughter loves the photo of her and her dad.....And to top it off, the photo appears to have gotten liquid on it, so the photo is stuck to the glass.

Any other suggestions???

Checked some of my PI databases - looks like she is still there.
Also Dallas County Tax assessor still lists that property in Her and her husbands name.

If you remember what she looked like, log into face book then try this link: http://www.facebook.com/people/Paula-Thompson/648018907

If that's her, contact her via Facebook.

(972) 636-3242

If you are looking for an old photographer, give Capt Tom a call...

Nevermind.
I hope you find the one you are looking for.
BTW--does anyone else find it just a touch scary all the information that can be had about someone with just the right online search?!?

If you have an old website, try the Waybackmachine.

Didn't know that existed...actually these were taken in 2000. Doesn't seem that long ago, but according to the business card there is no website. If I remember correctly, she was just starting her business. You would think by now, she would have a website and I would be able to locate it. But then again, when I google myself, the first thing in the list is my photos taken for jamesw in the pool...on HIS website...that kind of hurts!!

Probably just have to do the mail thing.

Like a lot of small businesses (and especially true of photography), she might have gone out of business quickly or "lost interest" and moved on to the next type of work.

And like many, she might have got rid of landline phones and only uses her cell (thus harder, more expensive to uncover).
