Between the crying, feeding and diaper changes, babies are hard work. But every so often, they fall asleep. And when they do, they really are the sweetest things to behold.

Photographer mom Laura Izumikawa uses her baby’s nap time to get creative.

Using imaginative costumes and props, Laura dresses up her four month-old Joey Marie Choi as various pop culture icons and famous TV and movie characters including Beyonce, Jon Snow and Cinderella.

The result is absolutely adorable.

Laura Izumikawa, who is based in LA, told The Huffington Post : ‘Because Joey slept so deeply, I thought it’d be fun adding little props on her just to send some hilarious pictures to our parents. It was a way to memorialize her growth and little milestones.’

Izumikawa shared the pictures on Instagram and her followers grew to over 30,000.

‘I started receiving messages from countless people who said that the photos and videos were the highlight of their day and for some, a thing they enjoy to watch with their kids,’ she said.

‘I hope that these photos and videos will make people smile and also remind parents to have fun with their kids and not get too caught up in the seriousness of parenting.’
