Who is Nikki Kellogg?
What If Your Photos Finally Felt Like You?
I’m Nikki, and I’ve always believed that photography should be just as playful, wild, and weird as the people in front of the camera. For years, I watched creative, vibrant souls settle for photos that felt stiff, awkward, and nothing like who they really are. That never sat right with me. So I built something different.
Based in Bergen NY (between Batavia and Rochester), I create photo experiences for people who don’t want to fit into a box, because I don’t either. Whether it’s a mountaintop picnic, a roller rink throwback, or a full-blown wizarding world shoot, I’m here for it. I’m not just snapping pictures, I’m helping you feel seen, celebrated, and totally yourself from the moment we start planning.
It didn’t happen overnight. I learned by listening to every client who felt nervous, every kid who hated posing, and every parent who just wanted to feel something real in a photo again. Over time, I created an approach that combines creative collaboration, no-pressure direction, and genuine enthusiasm for the weird and wonderful.
What’s the result? You get photos that look like you, feel like you, and make you proud to share. And I get to keep doing what I love—turning everyday stories into unforgettable moments.
But I’m not stopping here. I want to keep pushing the boundaries of what photography can be—more fun, more inclusive, more you. I want the weirdos, the dreamers, the misfits, and the ones who’ve never felt comfortable in front of a lens to know: you belong here!

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!
"Jack of all trades, master of none, but oftentimes better, than master of one."
