Cut story:

Not Just A Girl

Seeking inspiration for her daughter Emma's fifth birthday portraits, Texas-based photographer Jaime Moore decided to ditch the omnipresent Disney Princesses she saw all around her and "show our girls the REAL women they can be." In her series of historic portraits, Emma becomes Susan Anthony, Helen Keller and others.

Amelia Earhart

Helen Keller
