Marie Lollis wanted to celebrate the next chapter of her life with a commemorative photo shoot.
This wasn't for an engagement, wedding, or new baby, though. Marie had just gotten divorced.
But her joy-filled photo shoot, complete with burning wedding photos, knee-high boots, and a wine glass that reads 'Boy Bye', has turned Marie into an internet sensation.
'I wanted to show that strong women can be empowered to move on and be happy,' Marie, 47, told DailyMail.com. 'It's okay to be happy again.'

Marie said she got the idea for the photo shoot after her divorce from Quinton Eaton, her husband of 13 years, finally became finalized this month.
'I wanted a way to close a chapter in my life my way, and celebrate finally making it official,' she said.
She enlisted the help of sister-in-law Natasha Lollis, who is married to Marie's brother and runs Tiltin' My Lens Photography. Together they created a series of photos that are defiant, cheeky, and joyful.
In one photo, Marie smiles wide as she holds up her heels. The bottom of one reads 'est 2006' while the other reads 'Done 2019'.
One picture shows a close-up of Marie stepping on her framed wedding photo, breaking the glass, while another shows her staring off into the distance as the photo burns beside her.

It has been a long journey to happiness for Marie, who said everything changed when her husband became addicted to drugs.
