Need help with Athlete/Soccer photo

I'm looking for a unique and creative way to photograph my 12 year old niece with all her soccer trophies and medals. She has more than I can count on my fingers and toes. I've searched for images on google, flickr and here and haven't come up with much. One concept I had in mind, was to arrange her medals/plaques/trophies in a circle on white muslin and have her lay down in the middle in her uniform surrounded by them, and take from above. I would love that same concept with her standing up (a more natural and realistic pose), but don't know how I would surround her with the trophies, medals and plaques, as there is no way to 'hang' them on the muslin.

Any thoughts or ideas? Thanks.

You could try 'burying' her in the trophies, that way everything would be on the same focal plane. I'm interested to know what her trophies are for? If it is all for one achievement, ie a particular sport or one subject,maybe just one trophy in the background with her doing whatever it is she is particularly good at?

There are a thousand ways you could do something. You know her best, and her achievements. Go as creative as she will let you!
