This Dad Took The Most Beautiful Photos Of His Daughter Dressed As Inspiring Women
June 16, 2015
Brooklyn photographer Marc Bushelle is getting a lot of recognition lately for the brilliant series he calls "The Heroines Project."
The series stars his five year-old daughter, Lily, dressed as female historical figures. Marc says he wanted a way to spend quality time with his daughter but also teach her about strong heroines in history. He added that it was also a great way to build her self confidence and sense of self worth.
Here's Lily as Mother Teresa.
Lily as the first African-American woman astronaut, Mae Jemison.
Lily as the youngest person to win the Nobel Peace Prize, Malala Yousafzai.
Lily as the first female four-star admiral, Michelle J. Howard.

"I want my daughter to be proud of me," Marc told Upworthy. "When I am not here anymore, I want her to be able to look back at these images and remember this time, smile and keep being the trailblazer that I know she will be. She is my heroine."
