18th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest People
Every. Body. Is. Beautiful.

My 20-year-old daughter admitted to me that she struggles with body image. This is a portrait of my daughter as she perceives herself, but it is also a portrait of a nation of girls who spend far too much time on social media comparing themselves to others. Girls…love yourself. Every. Body. Is. Beautiful.
