We first met Imogen, a tiny baby koala at Sydney’s Symbio Wildlife Park, a [few weeks ago](http://time.com/4075826/baby-koala-cameraman-sydney-australia/) when she climbed up a cameraman to give him a hug. (It was really cute. Highly recommend.) Now she’s back—this time for her first professional photoshoot.

At just 10 months old, Imogen is already a total natural in front of the camera. She makes good use of props—a soft blanket, a plush toy and some leaves—but ultimately keeps the focus on her impossibly cute little face.
