After a breakup this girl took the most beautiful Disney Princess-inspired solo engagement photos

When a princess becomes a queen…

Some dreams turn out differently than expected. When we think abstractly about potential future disappointments, we like to think we’ll have the strength and fortitude to brush off and move ahead like a #boss. But do we always succeed?

This woman did, rising to one of life’s unexpected challenges with grace and good humor that we should all strive for.

Brooke Lowry found herself single just weeks before her engagement pictures were supposed to be taken.

In an interview with The Huffington Post, Brooke’s thoughts on the day melt our hearts.

“I decided to show up anyways hoping to one day look back on the pictures knowing they marked the end of one chapter and the beginning of a new adventure…I wanted to document this massive transition in my life. It was definitely a milestone, just not the one I thought it was going to be.”

Someone write an animated feature about this woman stat. Brooke Lowry is our new favorite princess hero.
