it’s been two years.
Last week, our little family turned into 2 years old. I thank God and I feel so blessed and grateful for my amazing husband. He’s perfect for me in every way :) The husband and I decided to just go out to eat. Simple, but it was one of the most enjoyable celebration ever. We went to Daddy Jack’s, a local seafood restaurant with relaxing atmosphere, greatest service, and SUPERB food (and generous portion too!). I just loved it. The husband usually complains a bit whenever we go to a fine-dining restaurant ’cause most of their portion are tiny. He surely did not complain a bit last week.
Sorry, I didn’t even bother making sure to get the food shot perfectly ’cause all I wanted to do at the time was to start eating! And believe me, that dinner did NOT cost us a fortune. We’ll definitely be back!
Then, about a few days after, one of our good friends who has just turned into a photography aficionado offered to take our photos to build his portfolio. What a nice coincidence, so we happily agreed. I was excited because I had some cute ideas in mind to bring out our personality in the images.
So, here we go.
It’s “heartfelt” :)
The banner on the shot below came from a baby shower decoration I did last year. Remember?
Last but not least, my favorite of all, just ’cause this shot is “so us” :)

Congrats on the two years!!!
The photos are super fab, too. I’m curious where you shot them? I don’t recognize a thing in Big D! The arrows on the doors just make me happy. :)

This photos are just simply amazing Ivana, super love it, this is exactly the type of photos I want to have done for me and my hubs (especially since we’ve been together 10 years and kicking) love it, love it, love it. BTW, congrats on your anniversary, may God bless you with more blissful & happy years :) Is this photographer in Dallas? What locations did you went to?
