Sometimes I find it hard to believe that my husband and I have been in Los Angeles for twelve years (we moved here from London). To most people that’s probably not a big deal, but I have never lived in one city for that long before. So, it shouldn’t be surprising to me that now that I’ve been here so long I’m crossing paths again with people we met when we first moved here. I mention this because the dad of this lovely family worked with my husband when we first moved here. It was a small start-up part of the first generation during the internet bubble of the late nineties, when the internet was the Wild West and businesses had not yet figured out what business models would work in this new medium, or as my husband might say, “how to monetize the web“. As start-ups go, this one didn’t last, but we will forever be grateful to this man as he gave my husband his first opportunity in this new country; the first step in us following our “American Dream“. So when his wife contacted THOMPSON and SPRING for a shoot and I saw their name come up on my Caller ID, I couldn’t believe how we had come full circle… and after all these years, he hadn’t aged one bit!
However, in the interim, his family had significantly expanded and he now has three gorgeous kids. It was fun doing a family portrait session with them near their home in Hancock Park. The kids all had very distinct personalities and looks. And, while the weather report had been threatening Los Angeles with rain, luck was on our side and we managed to have fun outdoors.
