If you ever wanted the magic of fall perfectly summed up in one picture, here it is.

A friendly and photogenic deer named Maggie in Sam Houston Jones State Park in Moss Bluff, Louisiana loves to jump into family photos whenever she can.

On Oct. 20, photographer Megan Rion captured the deer quietly posing with baby Connor, creating the most stunningly perfect fall portrait for any parent.

Only Disney kings and queens get baby pictures this magical.

As much as we'd love to think that Maggie just wanted her 15 minutes of fame, Rion and her assistant think that she was after the hay and corn they had used to decorate the shot.

They managed to snap a photo of Maggie as they tried to shoo her away, but she was clearly determined to star in the shoot (or get some corn -- it's anyone's guess).

This isn't the first time Maggie has photobombed a photoshoot. Rion has a full album of pictures she's taken with the friendly forest creature, who seems to love to pop out of her hiding spot to pose with little kids -- especially if she gets a snack in return.

More of Rion's photos can be seen on Facebook.
