8 months!

Meet Ciara. Yes, if you can believe it Ciara is 8 months pregnant! no kidding!
I am very excited to meet the baby...will he be early...or wait until October? I'm partial to October...wink wink.

Ciara was raised in Manila, this couture Kimono was given to her from a designer in the Philippines.
Can you imagine being so far from home...

I was touched meeting Ciara. To me, she embodies the word, Modesty. I do not mean that in the lowly way,
but more like this, she is:
"marked by simplicity"
"free from pomp"
"free from affectation"
"not offensive in conduct or appearance"
"humble in spirit or manner"
Happy are the gentle: for the earth will be their heritage.

Not to mention,
Ciara really does Create...to see her extraordinary jewelry collection, please visit:

Ok, so Corrina is not only a petite beauty...she has to be one of the sweetest young ladies! my words for Corina...tranquil, amiable, gentle, pleasant...all high compliments in my book! (clear throat here, especially for those who know me!)

Once again, Pismo,ca...sometimes, you need to make your own sunshine...

nik.

city on a hill

I was thinking about this Image...and I thought....yes, I have to agree, "a city set on a hill CANNOT be hidden"...




don't you find the word cannot interesting here...I mean it cannot, cannot...can't..unable to...
I always find words and how they are used curious...cannot...it almost sounds as if it impossible... it cannot. you just can't hide it...what if you want to? can you hide it then? or is it still cannot?

cannot. what a funny word.

nik.

btw. this was taken in pismo, ca...and labeled under Valley Life, because honestly...doesn't everyone here have a house in pismo any way? (:

...and time stood still...

work.work.work.work.work...

LOL...your right, why pretend?
love it.

nik.

miss kristen, i wish you all the best in your move...pursue your gifts! and when your Big! Huge!....remember me in T-town!

See, I told you I was much better at writing....wink wink. (;

Got to Wear Shades.

Many of us think of sunglasses as simply eye candy.

The truth: Sunglasses are a safety apparatus. They protect our eyes from the sun, dust, and sometimes...flying objects. When picking out a safety apparatus...one must think of design and functionality.

this stuffs important.

nik.

meet The Koets.

two words...

wicked fun! (love that...gonna keep using it...)

I seriously had soooo much fun with these munchkins...the best...absolute best! The kind of kids...you want your kids hanging out with! Not to mention, had a BLAST shooting these...I have never shot a moving object...well, other than a bride...if you consider one an object...i digress...

I'm hooked...it's addicting...I want to do it again!!! Know any one who skateboards...wanting to try that...extreme bike or skateboard stuff...?? fun!

my english is suffering...it's late...

night.

nik.

sneak peak....sort-of.

yep, you guessed it. this is what I shot on Sunday. Probably, not the "sneak peak" the boys were looking for...but I promise, much more to come.
this is the hubby....all 6'5", 220lbs. of him! What's not to love? my Tibbs. have i mentioned how much I LOVE being married to Bruce? We fit. I mean really fit. We celebrated our 12th year together Saturday....I am already saying we are working on our 13th...by next year I will be completely confused on whether or not we are having our 13th or our 14th year anniversary....I am just a nut like that. I love Bruce more today than when we walked down the aisle....

but that doesn't mean I won't run out of the house in my underwear mad at him....not that anything like that has EVER happened before....noooooo not me.

nik.

play time.

because...I "worked" very hard yesterday on a wedding order...and was very productive...

these two are for me.

just for fun.
cheers!

nik.

faith fight.

fight! the 'good fight' of doing all the "right" things....make sure your "good"...in fact, really make sure you "look good" to others...fight! fight! fight!

OR... in my case, fight the fight of Faith...faith that says, I can trust Jesus to figure it all out for me...


btw this poster is for that "individual," no names, who so kindly told me my last posters looked straight out of the bible book store...which basically says,..."they sucked."

Heaven forbid! (:

nik.

silva rerum

I'm not Polish, but I do like the idea of a "home chronicle"...or the new nikapedia definition: a multi-generational digital scrapbook containing diary-type entries and photos kept by families, as a personal record for future generations....



ok fine...a note and photo book.
best-

nik.

my avatar.

I really should not get up so early...


honestly.

nik.

bokehpalm

ok, this series is starting to remind me of my sister, Jasmine's* jokes...

...I'm gonna just keep repeating them...and eventually you're gonna have to laugh...

*name changed to protect the innocent.

nik.

Surprise!

...because sometimes surprise! is over-rated, just sayin'...

nik.

TFP

nik-olai designs does like TFP!




the Nikapedia definition: no dough, moolah, quid, dinero, bread, and as they say in London, no wonger exchanges hands.
If your a model,
know a model,
wanna-be a model,
like models,
or whatever modelish thing you would like to discuss...(:

please email, nikki@nikolaidesigns.com, for additional details.
I look forward to hearing from you!

nik.

"bokehpalm"

As in the Japanese word boke, or "blurred." Not to be confused with the Japanese action adventure creature "bakugane".



I am just in this kind-of mood.

nik.

nik

I'm obsessed.

that is...I'm obsessed with RJ's photos.
fun. fun. fun.

nik.

Meet Rylee.

I am in LOVE with this face. She is simply the Cutest!!

nik.

Meet Devin.

Poor Devin...I liked to tease him...he is just too smart (: and I think I razzed him the entire session. It made me remember how much I enjoyed teaching.
I really must have an illness, but I thought grades 5-8th were just so much fun. Or maybe I just liked the fact that kids would come up to Bruce and say, "Hi, are you Mrs. Tibbett's husband?"

Yep, that was definitely my favorite part....

nik.

power or foolishness

because. just because it never gets old to me...and I kind-a think...it' one or the other, right?
