Mom called him her little papaya.  Dad kept a steady hand on his newborn fruit as I suspended the little guy from my boom stand.

They both were stoked to give this a try.  It was my first attempt at baby surrealism- the way I like to see babies pictured.

I met the military family at thier home on base.  We had some good conversation and exchanged music.  Daddy didn’t intend on being photograhed but it wasn’t hard to convince him.
