A celebration of strong girls in photographs. These remarkable images of girls range from yogis to skateboarders to cancer survivors to valedictorians, and prove that female strength is more than just muscles - it's being confident, creative, determined, fearless, independent, joyful, kind, resilient, and wild.
Kate T. Parker is a mother, wife, former collegiate soccer player, Ironman, and professional photographer who shoots both fine art and commercial work around Atlanta, Georgia. Her 'Strong Is the New Pretty' photo series-featuring her daughters and their friends being messy, loud, creative, busy, funny, and strong-went viral in 2015, and has since led to collaborations with brands like Athleta, Kellogg's, Oxygen, and Girls on the Run, among others. The project also inspired Kate to launch a nonprofit, StrongIstheNewPretty.org, which will provide scholarships and athletic and academic equipment and materials to disadvantaged girls. When she's not capturing powerful images, she can be found coaching the soccer teams of her two young girls-with a whistle and a camera around her neck.
