Welcome to Our World, Hayden!

Congratulations to our good friends Jenn and Adam Linke, who gave birth to their first child, Hayden James, yesterday. Jenn runs The Decisive Moment. Adam, in addition to being a photographer with The Decisive Moment, is also a Pictage Pro Consultant for the Southeast. Mark had the honor of photographing their day, from start to finish. The rest of us bonded in the waiting room with family members, anxiously waiting to meet our new little friend.
Adam gives Jenn some loving encouragement shortly before she was to start pushing.
The doctor put Hayden in Jenn's arms immediately after delivery.


















Adam hugs Jenn after the delivery.
Jenn's mom Barb, who was also present for the birth, congratulates her daughter.
The nurses polished Hayden up a bit and put him right back in his mother's arms.
Adam gets a hug from his proud father, Don Linke. Hayden is the first grandchild for Adam's parents, Don and Colleen.

The shot of adam and his dad hugging is priceless. Great work. You guys should go into photography if this programming thing doesn't work out for you.
