Photo Series of a Young Girl Dressed Up as Great Women Throughout History

Photographer Jaime Moore‘s daughter Emma recently turned 5 years old. Naturally, being a photographer, Moore wanted to commemorate the event for her daughter by putting together a cute photo shoot for her, so she turned to the Internet for inspiration.

Much to her chagrin, however, something like 95 percent of the ideas she ran into were actually the same idea: how to dress up your 5-year-old as a Disney Princess. Moore wasn’t keen on that, so she went another way. Instead of dressing her daughter up as a made up ideal, an “unrealistic fantasy” as she put it, she chose to dress and pose her daughter as some of the greatest women throughout history.

The point was to convey to little Emma that she could be anything she wants to be. As Moore explains it on her blog:

My daughter wasn’t born into royalty, but she was born into a country where she can now vote, become a doctor, a pilot, an astronaut, or even President if she wants and that’s what REALLY matters.

Each photo is also captioned with an inspirational quote by the amazing woman it portrays. To see all of them in higher resolution and read more about Moore’s inspiration for the project, head over to her website by clicking here.

“In honor of my son Evan’s 2nd birthday, my husband and I took him on his first trip to the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium in Columbus, Ohio. Evan’s first glimpse of the manatee exhibit overwhelmed him. With a little support and encouragement from his father, he soon walked up to the tank on his own, fears left behind, excited by the bright colors, the beautiful fish, and the enormous manatees. Six months later, Evan still remembers this day and asks about the manatees. Perhaps something about overcoming his fear, and finding the beauty in these creatures, stayed with him this whole time. And with me, too.”
