Summary

I have followed photographer Kate T. Parker on Instagram for years now and continue to be inspired by her depictions of her fierce and dynamic daughters (and their friends). I love seeing her raw and authentic sports photos since I have two little athletes in my house. You'll probably recognize Kate's work from her books Strong Is the New Pretty and Play Like A Girl.
