Hi I'm Nikala and welcome to my Toffee Photography and scrapbooking blog.

I live in Brisbane's western suburbs with my husband Jason and two children Harrison 8 and miss Charlotte 5 1/2.

My love of photography and scrapbooking began with the birth of Harrison and quickly became my passion.

I love to update my blog regularly with clients sneak peek photos, personal images of my family, my scrapbooking layouts and news and anything and everything that inspires me to create.

Thanks for stopping by.

Nikala xx

Its been awhile.....

since my last blog entry and so much has been happening around here that when  I've eventually had the time I haven't wanted to.

Easter came and went and we spent the last day of school term celebrating with an Easter bonnet parade and morning tea. My mum made the most gorgeous Easter headbands for both the teachers, Charlotte and I .

 

 

We spent Easter Sunday with both grandparents which was lovely. My mum went all out as she does. The table was covered with eggs, baby chicks, coloured straw, cupcakes and lots of love. It's these little things she does that the kids will always remember.

 

 

Charlotte and I looking the part.

 

 

 

 

 Here's my mums Easter tree. She has a tree for almost every event in the calendar....so cute.

For the past 2 weeks we've been packing boxes and moving into our new renovated

Day Theatre at the Wesley. We're still getting settled but I'm enjoying the change of scenery and my new position.

Last week I had not long left work and received a call from Jason......... Harrison had been on our trampoline and had broken through the so called safety net, landing on his head on our concrete pavers. When Jason got to him he wasn't moving....very scary. He met me and then we headed back to Wesley Emergency. He had concussion and a massive lump but he's doing fine.

I've been busy with family photo shoots which has been fun and I'm shooting another wedding  on the 22nd May. I'm also now working for Tribette Realestate taking all the images of her current houses for sale. I love a new challenge and Bette is such an inspiring and positive  lady to be around. 

We've began to look at display homes again in preparation for our next project. There's loads of inspiration out there and we're really looking forward to a change again. Most people think we're crazy moving all the time, but I get bored and it's Jason's passion to build and landscape. Speaking of which, Jason has started his own landscaping and design business "Living Abode". He's still in the building industry and has been in his element landscaping these past few weeks. It's great to see him so happy and doing what he loves.

 

Charlotte has been my only willing model at the moment, so here's her latest:

 

 

 

 

 

That's it for me.

Bye,

Love the photos and love Charlotte's CR outfit - saw that vest and loved it so much!
As for a landscaper - might need one actually - does he work northside of town? I'd love some details.

Hi Nikala, I can't believe how grown up that Charlotte is looking now! She has really changed in the face since some of her last photos.

Wow, you have been busy. Beautiful photo's of Charlotte and Congrats on the work with TriBette. Sorry to hear about Harrison, but has made me think about my own boys who have a habbit of 'RUNNING' at the 'safety net'. I too have concrete below them!!!

Hi Nikala,
I'm glad I can finally comment, something was going wrong and it stopped me from doing so. I miss not seeing you around anymore. The kids look grown up and you look as great as ever.
