When it comes to custom designing each photo session, one of my absolute favorite things to do is incorporate something personal into the shoot. So when this Los Angeles PodMom showed me these 1,000 paper cranes that she had hanging in her home as a piece of artwork, I knew they were going to be such a special addition to Chloe’s photoshoot.
The story behind these 1,000 paper cranes is pretty cool. Grandma had actually handmade these cranes for Mom & Dad’s wedding. HANDMADE! “According to Japanese tradition, anyone with the patience and commitment to fold 1,000 paper cranes will be granted their most desired wish, because they have exhibited the cranes’ loyalty and recreated their beauty.” You can read a little bit more about the legend behind “Sadako and the Thousand Paper Cranes” here.
With a little added PodGlow, these gold cranes looked so stunning as the backdrop for Chloe’s cake smash. What I love most is now Chloe not only has amazing photos to look back on for her big one year milestone, but also her personal story is told directly through her portraits.
