So many little girls dream of growing up to be Disney princesses — and six adorable ones got the chance before they were even old enough to watch the movies.
Maternity photographer Karen Marie of Belly Beautiful Portraits in Roseville, California had the sweet idea for a princess-themed photoshoot, and her magical pictures have sent women swooning across the internet.
For her adorable shoot, six newborns were dressed as individual Disney princesses, posed together in color-coded swaddles (blue for Cinderella, yellow for Belle).

'Disney has always been a big thing in my life,' she told KCR3. 'I've always loved Disney and princesses. I have two little girls myself, but they're getting older. They're practically teenagers.'
Recently, she was inspired to incorporate Disney princesses into her newborn photography, enlisting a designer named Valerie at Best of Sew Trendy Accessories to make the outfits.
In one group photo, the babies are all laid out side-by-side, swaddled in fabric — yet even without princess gowns, it's clear who they are.
Little Ariel wears a fin-colored green swaddle with a Flounder plush toy placed on top, Snow White is in red with a plush Apple, Aurora from Sleeping Beauty is in pink with a rose, and Cinderella is in sky blue with a little mouse.
There's also Belle, in yellow with a Beast toy, and Jasmine in light green with a magic lamp. And though this shoot stopped at six, Karen hopes to do more.
She also wants to do twin girls as Elsa and Anna, a character from the Lion King, Tiana from Princess and the Frog, Pocahontas, and Moana.
'I feel so lucky that I was able to create a career out of my passion for babies and my love for photography,' she told Huffington Post.
She also did more elaborate shoots with each of the babies on their own. Baby Cinderella is pictured in a blue tutu, sleeping soundly on top of a decorative silver pumpkin.
Baby Belle snoozes in a frilly yellow dress, a glass-cased rose, pot, and teacup scattered around her.
Show White has the perfect little red, blue, and yellow dress to wear as she sleeps surrounded by some furry friends, flowers, and gems mined by the dwarfs.
Ariel sleeps by seashells, a fork in her hand, while Sleeping Beauty does what she does best — catches some Z's — in a bed. Jasmine is seen resting on a colorful tasseled carpet.
