Heather, Alan, and their new baby boy!


I met Heather and Alan back in 2017 when we did their engagement session in Seattle. I remember thinking how easy they were to be around — just super grounded, kind, and so clearly in love. They’re one of those couples you instantly root for. They ended up getting married in Portugal (yep — Portugal!)! Seriously awesome.


Fast forward a few years, and they’re living in Alaska now, and I just got to photograph them again — this time with their brand new baby. It was so so fun seeing them all wrapped up in brand new parenthood.


They’re already such gentle, loving parents. Watching them with their baby just felt like everything had settled into place. This little one is so lucky.
