Tiny Star Alert: Meet Eliana—Our 4‑Year‑Old Firecracker Ready for the Spotlight
When a child with a big personality steps into Ashlie Steinau Photography, the whole studio feels it. That’s exactly what happened when Eliana bounded through our doors for her children’s modeling headshots—and she’s only four!
Built for the Runway (Even If Her Stride Is Still Toddler‑Sized)
From the first click of the shutter, Eliana proved she’s no ordinary kiddo. She switched poses faster than our strobe lights could recharge, giving us everything from cheeky grins to full‑on model smolder. Her energy? Limitless. Her confidence? Already brand‑worthy.
Future gigs she’s dreaming of:
- GapKids lookbooks
- Carter’s catalog covers
- National toy commercials
- Yep—seeing her face on the box her toys come in
Parents of pint‑sized superstars, take note: professional children’s portraits create a polished portfolio that opens doors to modeling agencies, brand reps, and casting calls.
Pageant‑Ready Perfection for East Coast USA
Eliana is gearing up for the East Coast USA Pageant, and she knows the judges love a headshot that pops. We focused on:
- Crystal‑clear eyes & flawless lighting – must‑haves for pageant photography.
- Posing cues that feel playful, not forced – because authenticity shines.
- Wardrobe variety – From princess twirls in tweed to an overalls cool‑girl vibe to show range – of course in colors that enhanced her caramel-colored skintone and her gorgeous golden brown curls.
Result? A modeling portfolio brimming with personality—exactly what pageant judges and children’s talent scouts crave.

The “Fishy Cracker” Finale 🐟
After nailing her final pose, Eliana looked up and asked the question every hardworking model asks after a long shoot:
“Can I have some fishy crackers?”
Not just a snack—but inspiration! We grabbed the giant family‑size box of Goldfish we keep for emergencies (photographers get hungry, too) and staged one more epic shot: Eliana, beaming behind her mountain of cheesy crackers, ready to tag @GoldfishSmiles and @PepperidgeFarm because—why not—she plans to model for them one day.
Hey, Pepperidge Farm: when you need a face for your next Goldfish campaign, our girl is waiting—snack in hand and pose perfected.
