Dog Photographer Erin Vey bio picture

Meet Erin Vey

I am a dog lover first.

A photographer second.

By some random chance of fate, I was able to combine the two loves into the coolest job ever: A Dog Photographer

I grew up in a family where dogs were always an integral part of our lives and most importantly, members of the family. Most of my childhood was spent with various Basset Hounds of the lovable but extremely stubborn variety. We never had less than 2 at any given time, sometimes 3, and the occasional stray that one of us would bring home for a visit.

After a short stint doing portrait work, which I still love, I realized my true calling is capturing the essence and personality of dogs. Upon reflection, I feel that my time doing portrait work was not wasted. Because of it, my experience with portrait work flows beautifully into working with people and their dogs.

My husband and I are owned by the fabulous Miss Gracie, a 5 year old Great Dane who brings energy and life into our house. You’ll see her around here a lot, she loves having her portrait taken (at least I like to think so).  She is a complete Diva and if you stick around long enough, you'll know what I'm talking about!

What an amazing adventure this has been so far. I’m so glad you are here experiencing it with me.

Life’s Short, Pet Hard

Sorry for the lame posts lately. I am completely overwhelmed and especially grateful at the response I got from my little feature in the Daily Candy last week. It is keeping me very busy to say the least. I’ll try to be better.

I received a belated birthday present this past weekend from a good friend and fellow dog lover.

She knows me well. I just love it so much I had to take a shot of it!

Gracie looked entirely too comfortable on my bed, so I decided to annoy her for a few minutes.

As I turned to leave the room, I heard a sigh of relief and looked back to see her on my pillow.

And so my parting words were “Wipe my pillow off before you come downstairs please”.

Lauren - :) Our Sam does the same thing. We call him "Queen". He's a total bed hog. Our little pup Jasmine prefers to sleep on hardwood floors.

Laurie Luck, CPDT - Whew, glad to get my Gracie fix in. You can't keep her from us for too long or we might go into withdrawals! Love that shirt! Bet it would look good ON Gracie!
