Strong Is the New Pretty: A Photographic Journey

PSM: Did becoming a mother to girls change your perspective on beauty and the way that women are viewed?

KTP: Growing up, I was a total tomboy. I refused dresses, pink, or anything remotely feminine. I was only interested in soccer and being exactly like my big brothers, and this was 100 percent encouraged by my parents. I was never made to feel like I needed to be more "girlie" to be loved or accepted. I have some amazing parents.
