As if baby Joey's chubby cheeks weren't delightful enough...

Photographer Laura Izumikawa takes advantage of nap time by dressing her 4-month-old daughter up in a variety of costumes, which she photographs and shares to Instagram.

The costumes range from topical to celebrities to television characters to emoji.

Netflix caught wind of Izumikawa's awesome photos and reshared her version of Joey as Eleven from Stranger Things.

Izumikawa did have some moments of worry when she realized her photos were going viral.

"This morning I woke up to find that we reached 10.1K followers and it stunned me," she wrote on Instagram about two weeks ago. "I began to worry a bit. How will Joey react to all of these posts when she's older? Would she be mad? Would she be embarrassed? Would she wish I never started this?"

But then, Izumikawa started reading comments that fans posted on her Instagram.

"I've received sweet messages from mothers all over the world sharing stories about their little ones and how they want to do the same thing and enjoy them this way as well," she wrote. "It's been truly humbling and I'm so thankful that something like Instagram has been a way for me to connect to these new friends."

Laura, it seems like you are slaying both the mom game and the photography game. Please keep taking these photos and don't let Joey grow up.
