For my Mia’s 11 year old shoot, we chose to concentrate on her love of creating with her hands, reading, and creative writing.
So she made 11 cranes out of origami paper — one representing each of the years of her life. Then, obviously, we turned one of our hydrangea shrubs into a Wishing Shrub. 🙂 Mia carefully placed each crane while thinking about the meaning of each year. With the last crane, which represents this upcoming year, she made a wish.
Afterwards, she hung out on our swing bench and read a story she wrote.
It was so… “her”. <3
