Barn in the rain? Really, Tieka? I know, I know. Usually Brett and I are off on some crazy adventure with some unique name, so I can easily come up with post titles... but lately we've been so busy that we haven't traveled much! I always default to my favorite locations when we're home. This old barn where I shot The Big Strawberry and An Old Silo. We also go to another barn where I've taken several photos and of course, Lake Michigan. You get the beach later this week. ;)
This weekend has been really nice to relax and get caught up on a few things, but I'm ready to go back to work. I don't think I could ever stay at home on a regular basis. I love getting dressed up and out of the house. Usually we don't even eat dinner home... we're always out with friends or doing things. I like it that way!
Did you all have wonderful Thanksgiving? I loved every second of it. I've been terrible with bringing my camera places other than to take outfit shots lately. I sorted through and organized a ton of old photos and I used to take pictures of everyone and everything! I've been making a huge 2012 goals list and I'm definitely adding 'take more photos' to it. It just sounds crazy because I already take so many photos though, but just a different kind!
I can't believe December is coming up. I've felt pretty crazy already buying Christmas gifts. It doesn't at all feel like winter is here yet. There are still so many leaves on the trees and all over the streets in our town. I'm really looking forward to this coming month though. I have some amazing plans and posts coming up. I'm going to make sure this month is perfect before heading into a new year. ♥

i've been awful about getting my camera different places, too. i brought it to thanksgiving and didn't take it out once (the shame!). i love this dress and the barn--it's such a romantic and beautiful photo location. you make the end of november look beautiful and cozy!
Your shoes are to die for! Oh man, this is not helping my resolve to stop buying new shoes...
Anyway, best of luck with your goals :) I'll be making a goals list soon, and I'm definitely with you on resolving to take more pictures. I've missed so many good opportunities lately, but no more, I say!
I don't necessarily think you have to explore other places to make interesting backgrounds. It's probably more of a thing for you, and that you don't want to frequent the same place. However, there's always the opportunity to find something new in a familiar place. Plus, we can see how you dress up and doll up in the "everyday" sense, rather than "This is what I wore when I went HERE" or "THERE" and so on. :) Regardless, I NEED gray tights. You look so composed.
Thanksgiving is a time of the year I wish I was American, it sounds like so much fun!
I work from home and I love it (I get all dressed up and wear heels anyways!) but it's always so nice to hear how we are all different and how every lifestyle is unique. Hearing you happiness is inspiring!
I bring my camera everywhere but I've noticed the absolute greatest moments are the one we only have the memory of in our heart :)
Have a super great week Tieka!

That sounds like a good goal to make. I just bought a bigger purse so I can carry my camera around with my and I'm excited to try and take more photos as well.
Navy blue and cognac brown is one of my favorite color combinations so of couse I love this outfit. I love the little details on the dress, too cute!
Your hair looks so pretty in these photos, especially with this gorgeous location!
I totally know what you mean about not bringing your camera everywhere...I feel like I'm guilty of the same thing, too! I'll probably be making a similar New Years resolution. I love your outfit as well; you look gorgeous in these pictures! Happy, er, beginning to the holiday season? Haha! :)

You look amazing! the blue dress is stunning on you and i absolutely love how you styled it! I can't believe its pretty much winter too but im excited for the holidays (:
I can definitely relate to not taking enough pictures, despite the fact that I use my camera plenty to take outfit photos! That's a goal of mine too: to capture more moments with friends.

This dress is very cute - and i'm in totally in love with your shoes. I also love the combination cognac brown and dark blue! And the photos are quite good despite the rain, only the little rain-drop stains on your dress let "shine trough the conditions of your shooting" ;-)

with love,
your opinion is VERY important for me!http://chocarome.blogspot.com/
I know what you mean! I used to be the one always snapping shots of every momment. I guess life just gets busier and crazier the older we get.
I love this dress. So adorable with these tights and those wedges!
I was trying to figure out what color those tights are b/c they look great. Would not have guessed army green!
Christmas really sneaks up, huh? I am trying to buy gifts early this year, so my December paycheck doesn't disappear in 5 seconds!
Happy holidays!

Lovely outfit! Blue looks really good on you!
Blue & brown love! My favorite colors to wear together :)
I am excited for December, I think I am the only freak in MI who loves snow. I am ready!! I hope there is another blogger meet-up on that list for next year, most of the girls by me have all moved.
Love the wedges and the belt. Beautiful scenery too.

Sometimes I think it's nice (and important) to enjoy an event like thanksgiving without your camera, it helps me 'live in the moment' a bit more :) You look absolutely lovely in this photos, the dress is gorgeous <3
You look gorgeous (as always)! And that's one of my favorite color combos, the blue with the cognac...just lovely!
Lidi

Lovely photos. That dress is gorgeous on you. So romantic and pretty.
Love the backdrop, weirdly, I just discovered a location just like this with a abandoned silos, little broken down sheds, and just fields, and tall grass! What a coincidence!
Anyways, you are looking adorable Tieka! I love your blue dress so much and I seriously cannot believe that it is December tomorrow! :)
Your hair is simply gorgeous.
I've been meaning to get bangs again and yours are the exact kind I want:)
http://agirlnamedleney.blogspot.com/
My god, you're gorgeous! That first photo is absolutely beautiful! I just love the length, your natural color and bangs, I wish my hair would have turned into something like yours instead of staying curly hahaha
what a great look!
