Who is Nikki Kellogg?
Hi, I'm Nikki Kellogg.
I've always loved dressing up since I was little, especially for Halloween. I believe Halloween should be celebrated more often, not just once a year. If you're someone who enjoys being unique and doing things differently, I understand how you feel. Life is short, so why not have some fun?
I'm based in Bergen NY, and I really enjoy taking pictures that tell stories. I focus on capturing moments that are special and love getting creative with editing. I try to make my photos stand out by being different from the usual ones you see. I'm pretty laid-back and creative, so if you need help coming up with ideas for your photo session, I'd love to help!
My passion for photography started when I was young, playing around with an old Kodak camera and flashbulbs. Although I've been taking pictures for many years, I only turned professional a few years ago when I upgraded to digital cameras and started learning new techniques.

Why the name Nikk Of All Trades?
Not only do I capture all types of photography, but I also do all sorts of jobs.
- I've been a bookkeeper for many clients over the years, an office manager for a few companies, and I'm a computer geek, working on updating and repairing other's equipment.
- Being an artist as well as a photographer is fun, with medieval illumination and colored pencil drawings being my favorites.
- I'm an Ordained Minister, able to perform weddings, handfastings, vow renewals, and various other ceremonies.
- Owning five different types of sewing machines allows me to make just about anything that comes to mind, plus I love to hand-stitch and crochet.
- I also have a side business (Cool Craniums) where I recycle fur coats into pillows and blankets, and make artwork from bones, skulls, and insects.
- Driving around with two show vehicles ('73 Cadillac Hearse and '94 Chevy S-10) and going to car shows, I've done glass etching, pinstriping, graphics, window tint, and to top it all off, I have a Class A CDL!
