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.

Medium Sam

Sweet little Sam is not so little anymore, but has stayed just as sweet as he was at 7 weeks.

Now that above sentence would be a perfect tongue twister. Say it again 3 times in a row.

Here is the little fluffball at 7 weeks

Those whiskers (on the right) make me want to drop everything right now and go out and get a golden puppy.

And here he is at 6 months, growing into quite the handsome man. He has one of the best temperaments I have met in any dog to date (besides Miss Gracie of course). Just a complete sweetheart.

As I was moving things around, I put the above pictures together and saw the line meet in the middle. I thought it looked neato so I took a minute to play. I like it.
