See Nikki in action!

Hey y’all! Okay, so this is the section where I am supposed to tell you all about myself. I’ll be honest.. this portion of the website always leaves me stumped. I mean, I can talk sweet nothings about how I love the smell of pine, the beach is the best place ever, Christmas is my favorite holiday and I am a lover of Starbucks coffee but honestly… Who really cares about all that? So, I’ll start with the truth.

I started Wings Of Glory back in 2009 a little after my son was born. I was going to college and waitressing at Mimi’s cafe. One day while at work, after I had taken care of all of my tables and finished all of my side work I was leaning against the wall of the back room. I had a thousand things on my mind… I was exhausted from work, college and my new born baby at home. That was when my manager walked up, glares at me with the most disrespectful disgusted look on his face and snarls… “What in the heck do you think you’re doing?” after I gave the polite obvious answer, he proceeded to lecture me about how he should make me get on my knees and scrub the kitchen floor with my hands since I have so much extra time. It was in that moment ladies and gentlemen that I quit ever working for anyone again. I quit that job and on top of it, I quit college. I knew what I wanted to do. I knew what I was passionate about. I also knew that staying in a dead end job and going to college for my AA wasn’t going to get me to where I wanted. Now, don’t get me wrong… I believe college is a must for most careers but for me personally, it wasn’t my thing. I knew my market, I knew people and I knew how to make someone feel comfortable. People are my thing. Connecting and building relationship is what I do best…Well… That and photography haha!

After diving in full throttle into my company, work endless nights and caffeine filled days my company blossomed. I had become obsessed with seeing it grow and it became something bigger than I have ever expected. Over the years I have photographed hundreds of couples getting married and have built amazing friendships with each and everyone of them. It is my goal with all of my clients for them to feel as though they are gaining a friend… not just hiring a photographer. It is the best feeling in the world to capture all of my clients amazing life steps… engagement, wedding, maternity.. babies! AH! To see them creating a life together. Its what makes me happy.. seeing other people so happy.
