Mom Photographs Messy, Fearless Daughters To Show “Strong Is The New Pretty”

6:05 AM

Young girls are so often depicted as sweet, cute little princesses in pink. And it’s not that they’re not occasionally those things, but that they’re so much more. They’re also fierce and strong and curious and immensely athletic and just bundles of amazing energy. They’re skinned knees and dirty fingernails and frowny faces and determined, loud, kickass little jocks.

And it’s wonderful to be seen like that and to be allowed to be that.

This wonderful series of photographs by Kate. T. Parker, entitled Strong Is The New Pretty is so beautiful and powerful, it needs to be shared widely.


"My girls know that who they are is just perfect."




"Their silly, adventurous, frustrated, happy, LOUD, athletic, fierce, funny selves."



"Being themselves is enough for us..."



"And ultimately, for them, too…that’s the goal, at least."


"They don’t need to have their hair done, clothes matching, or even be clean to be loved or accepted."



"We love them as they are, loud, dirty, competitive…"


"Strong is the new pretty."
