Past

Committed to the fine art of portrait photography, Al Elson and Jerome Alexandre ventured to Los Angeles, California from New York in 1945 and founded Elson-Alexandre. Their vision of offering the highest quality in executive portraiture catapulted Elson-Alexandre into a leadership position within the world of portraiture that continues to prevail to this day.

Since Stanley Pesner joined Elson-Alexandre in 1962, the organization has enjoyed the status of a family owned and managed business. With his wife, Lila, and children, Vicki, Barry, Linda, and Gary assisting in all aspects of company development, Elson-Alexandre added new products to its traditional portraiture, thus becoming an icon in the membership recognition programs sponsored by professional organizations and country clubs.
