⭐️Stephanie Wood:
“Lots of people look at child actors and don’t realize the team of people that are 100% behind them the whole way. In order for a child to be successful and grow in any area, they need a team. Eli’s team includes, his parents, coaches, agents, family and his amazing headshot photographer Tanya Young. She knows just what to say to him to get the perfect shot! Here’s to another great year working with his amazing team! We thank you for all of your support!”

Thank you, Stephanie!!! 🤍

“Tanya is not only a wonderful human being, but also a fantastic photographer. She takes her time in helping you choose the best wardrobe and ensuring your makeup is spot on, looking natural, and most importantly, looking like you. She is also quite experienced with the industry and, therefore, gave great direction in really helping you capture the character essence you're trying to embody. I appreciated so much the time and attention she gave, which really helped me feel at ease and never rushed. She's just awesome, highly recommend!”
