Stunning Photo Series Showcases How Disney Princesses Would Look If They Were African American

You'd be hard-pressed to find a little girl who has never dreamed of being a Disney princess, or any type of princess for that matter. Imagination is a precious thing; however, it's unfortunate that the media often portrays the majority of famous characters to fit a certain mold.

Fortunately, as we become more progressive over time, the media is evolving as well. Hairstylist LaChanda Gatson came up with the idea to redefine the stereotype of what a traditional princess is.

Photographers Regis and Kahran from CreativeSoul Photography have produced a stunning series of images featuring princesses with "their own dash of style, culture, and swag." The photos showcase how some of the most popular Disney princesses might look if they were African American.

"The Disney character series was created by hairstylist LaChanda Gatson and child photographers CreativeSoul Photography," they explained when asked how the series came about. "The goal is to inspire more girls around the world to see themselves as regal princesses."

The photographers say the response to the series has been incredible so far. "The social media response has been amazing, with currently over 75,000 re-shares on our Facebook post and several other pages," they said.

The pictures are beautiful, to say the least! Scroll down to see them for yourself.
