I know it's a little late to be talking about the Super Bowl and Super Bowl commercials, but when it comes to Ella (the girl in the pictures you see here) I just can't help myself. During this year's Super Bowl, one of the most talked about advertisements was Always' #LikeAGirl commercial. 
Those reading this who are my age probably remember that put down. It was pretty popular in the early '90s. Girls and boys were taunted by classmates for kicking, throwing, running, etc. "like a girl." I was always slightly confused by the insult, but one thing was always clear: being told you did something "like a girl" was meant to be hurtful and demeaning.

Always wants to change that, and I love them for it! I think it's so bold and brazen that they used the Super Bowl as a platform to get the discussion started and, secretly, I hope those who hurled "like a girl" insults are now seeing the error of their ways.

When I saw the commercial, I immediately thought of Ella, and I smiled. Ella is 7 and she loves, loves, loves sports. I think it's fabulous that she will grow up in an era where she will have a chance to express herself through her athleticism and where insults against girls and women are (hopefully) not tolerated. All I can say is, you go, girl! 

To capture Ella's zest for life, spunky attitude, and love for the Terps, there really was no other option: We had to do a mini session at the University of Maryland's Xfinity Center. How cool is that?!? It was so much fun watching Ella in her element, dribbling a basketball, running up and down the court, and posing with Testudo the Terapin. Ella is an incredibly talented athlete and I can't wait to see where the future takes her!
