as a new-ish mom and a photographer, I love this so stinking much. my photos of my grandmothers and mom are some of my most prized posessions, and i have such a nagging fear in the back of my mind that i won't have any of myself. so glad you're doing this!

I am interested in your heirloom portraits of mothers. Hoping you do older moms like me! Please tell me the pricing and how close you ever get to Long Beach, CA. Thanks so much!

Norma, I would love to make your portrait! My oldest client so far was 89 :-) will you send me an email so we can chat? alex@alexsteele.co

Wish I lived in LA or was visiting LA anytime even remotely soon so I could get my portrait. This is such a beautiful idea, Alex.

Thank you Adri! Maybe next year I'll do a pop-up in the Salt Lake area :)

This is so meaningful and something our generation is missing! We have so many phone photos and selfies, but no intentional heirloom portraits. What a gift! If I was in LA I would sign up for this in a heartbeat. xx

such a lovely, lovely way to honor mothers - and simply amazing that I haven't seen anyone else doing it - congratulations for coming up with this meaningful, and special idea! xoxo

We always had a lamb made out of butter at Easter! I think it’s a Polish thing.
