Purchase options and add-ons

In the latest body of work by author and photographer Claiborne Swanson Frank, the artist set out to explore what modern motherhood means in the 21st century. Turning her lens on 70 iconic families of mothers and children from such celebrated names as Delfina Figueras, Carolina Herrera, Lauren Santo Domingo, Anne Vyalitsyna, Aerin Lauder, and Patti Hansen, Swanson Frank’s stunning portraits capture the emotional bonds and beauty that frame the primal relationship of a mother and her child. Complementing her work is a series of questions-and-answers, in which Swanson Frank delicately tasks each mother to look within themselves and express what being a mother truly means to them. Their answers, while exceedingly thoughtful and introspective, are also amusing, fascinating, and moving. Each one of these deeply intimate and stunning portraits will captivate and inspire readers as they embark on this profound journey that reminds us all of the power of motherhood and the great gift of love.

About the Author

Photographer Claiborne Swanson Frank was raised in San Francisco, California. Claiborne moved to New York in 2007 and worked at Vogue under Editor-in-Chief, Anna Wintour, leaving the magazine in 2009 before pursuing a career in photography. In 2010, Claiborne began her first body of work, a collection of portraits of women in her life, which served as inspiration for her best-selling debut book, American Beauty, published in the spring of 2012. Soon after its release, Swanson moved to Los Angeles and began working on Young Hollywood, her second book of portraits, released in the Fall 2014. In tandem with the creation of her books, Claiborne collaborates with American and European fashion brands, and most recently worked with Clé de Peau Beauté as she photographed her book, Mother and Child. Claiborne also contributes to various editorial publications.

    2.0 out of 5 stars Alternate book title: White mother and child
    Reviewed in the United States on March 24, 2023
    Verified Purchase
    I purchased this book as part of a birthday gift for my wife, who will be giving birth to our first child sometime in the next several days. My first thought upon opening the book: Wow, so many white women. As a white man, I am not comfortable giving this to her, much less displaying it in our home. The disproportionate representation is embarrassing.

    The book was lovely but I was disappointed that there were no gift options - I gave it to my daughter-in-law for Mother’s Day. It arrived with the price tag on it and I wasn’t able to arrange for any gift wrap.

    2.0 out of 5 stars Not exactly a diverse showing
    Reviewed in the United States on July 2, 2020
    Verified Purchase
    The book itself is beautiful - but the interior photos and interviews are mostly white women in the Hamptons. It can definitely feel exclusionary if you're not in that particular demographic. I was hoping the interviews and participants would have been a bit more diverse.

    The book, although beautifully shot, included only 2, mayyybe 3, families of color. As a white woman, I was offended and can only imagine how others found it. I bought this as a gift for an expectant mother and couldn’t in good conscience even give this away.

    2.0 out of 5 stars Motherhood for the Rich
    Reviewed in the United States on January 9, 2020
    Stunning portraiture, exquisite styling and completely false reality. This book promotes a fantasy world of motherhood. The author asks 70+ extraordinarily wealthy women their view on motherhood and photographs these model-perfect women with their cherub-like children (most children in this book are in the infant / toddler stage, with a few tweens and a rare few teens / adults). Questions such as: What did you name your children and why? How do you describe your personal style of mothering and How do you balance self-care and passions while being a mother? are repeated with each interview. It is interesting to see the answers to these questions, but at the same time I have to ask myself, how do these women who obviously have: personal assistants, personal chefs, personal trainers, hair stylists, facial / wrinkle specialists and nannies even begin to represent the majority of mother/child relationships on this planet? They don't! Their take on motherhood is like asking the Queen of England to give her take on motherhood. It's interesting, but not really representative of motherhood from the perspective of the general population-- most of us don't have that much help or financial flexibility! Motherhood is beautiful, tough and the reality is once a woman has children, professional and maternal responsibilities never balance. This book wants to promote the idea that it can be balanced, but like the lives of those chosen to represent motherhood, this idea is a fantasy! Claiborne Swanson Frank, I'd like to challenge you to use your photography skills to photograph modern women whose total family income is $150K or less a year! Coupled with the work you have already created, this change in perspective would give more depth to the meaning of modern motherhood.

    Das Buch ist ansich schön, der Einband hochwertig und hat eine tolle wertige Haptik. Persönlich finde ich es sehr dekorativ, jedoch hätte ich mir mehr Kreativität und Inspiration bei den Bildern gewünscht, auch finde ich es angesichts des Inhaltes recht hochpreisig.
