Mom transforms baby into amazing characters while she sleeps
Instead of taking the precious time her 4-month-old baby is sleeping to sleep herself, Laura Izumikawa dresses her child up in amazing outfits.
Izumikawa, a photographer in Los Angeles, told The Huffington Post that the whole "sleep when the baby sleeps" method just didn't work for her.

Her daughter, Joey Marie Choi, just happens to be very cooperative with the whole creative process.

"I would end up just staring at her face all day and night because I was just so in love," she told 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.

She said it was a great way to memorialize her growth milestones.
Joey has woken up a few times while being dressed for the photos, but she falls right back asleep like a perfect model.
