A deer who Rion calls Maggie wandered into the photographer’s shoot of baby Connor on Oct. 20. The boy’s mother even captured the moment on video. The best part? This isn’t the first time that Maggie has photobombed Rion’s pictures. There is an entire [album](https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10153788580579880.1073742493.110621344879&type=3 "undefined") of shots of the deer on the Facebook page of [Imagine That Photography](https://www.facebook.com/Imagine-That-Photography-by-Megan-Rion-110621344879/info/?tab=page%5Finfo "undefined"). Maggie has shown up to pose with several other children, allowing the photographer to capture some stunning pictures of the kids interacting with the photogenic animal. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4096794/deer-photobombs-sleeping-baby/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4096794/deer-photobombs-sleeping-baby/"},"headline":"This Deer Photobombed A Sleeping Baby and the Result Was Magical","datePublished":"2015-11-02T18:34:46.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:26:32.963Z","description":"This isn't the first time the deer has shown up to be part of a photoshoot","url":"https://time.com/4096794/deer-photobombs-sleeping-baby/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Children","animals","Babies","Deer","photography","baby"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Megan McCluskey","jobTitle":"Staff Writer","url":"https://time.com/author/megan-mccluskey/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4096794/deer-photobombs-sleeping-baby/","name":"This Deer Photobombed A Sleeping Baby and the Result Was Magical"}}]}] ```
