This photo is actually from her Shichigosan 9 years ago in Japan. We always display these photos (shichigosan photos) with our Hinamatsuri doll display at home which we did this year as well as made homemade mochi. 

Photos taken at Hiyashi Photo Studio in 2012 in Matsumoto City, Nagano, Japan where her grandparents live (my in-laws).
