Present

With the retirement of Stanley in 2005, Linda and Lila Pesner continue to operate Elson-Alexandre from their custom-designed national headquarters in Buena Park, California. As the largest executive portraiture studio and pictorial directory company (dba Universal Publishing) in the country today, Elson-Alexandre produces all types of portraiture - from glossy prints to oil paintings to digitized images for websites – for some of the most influential organizations and individuals throughout the nation.  And with today’s security concerns, Elson-Alexandre’s legacy portraiture offers prestigious organizations the opportunity to satisfy identification needs with the high quality images their membership appreciates. 

Although some portraiture companies have suffered from the advent of digital photography, Elson-Alexandre has enjoyed heightened success. In honoring the wisdom of the past (including key lighting and other elements practiced by the masters of photography) combined with modernistic techniques offered through cutting edge technology, Elson-Alexandre has developed innovative systems and procedures. Organizations and their members “enjoy the process” while Elson-Alexandre handles every aspect of the business at hand – from scheduling appointments to insuring customer satisfaction.  We know we have done something right when clients proudly declare “we have an Elson.”
