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.

My Way

This weekend I shot Katie’s Bridal pictures (of Ben + Katie). They are getting married in Texas next month and she wanted to do Bridal’s before the wedding.

Bridal’s aren’t very common in the Pacific Northwest, so I really didn’t have that much (or any) experience to draw from. Let me rephrase that…I had NO idea what the hell I was doing. When that happens, I just go with my gut and do things my way.

I think her Mom was going to have a heart attack when I told her daughter to RUN in her dress in the MIDDLE of the road. When that happens, I usually know I am on the right track :)

Frances - I love your honesty!! Dogs running brides running it's all great.

Mimi - I love this Erin! Traditional bridals are boring! This is much more fun!

robyn - I'm sorry, airhead here...the wedding I was talking about was just this past Sunday.

robyn - Erin, you CRACK me up! LOVe that photo! I had a wedding over the weekend and I'm NOT a wedding photog, altough I was coerced into doing one this past winter. I'm a children/family/pet photog so I didn't know what the hell I was doing either. I took 1100 photos! LOL Anyway, I have a couple funny although a bit "OUT OF THE BOX" I'd love to share with you! Email me and I'll send them to you...they are a bit risque but hysterical and the couple was up for anything!

Fred Holmes - Long time viewer, first time to write... Your photos are always nothing short of fantastic. Gracie has convinced me and my wife to try a "gentle giant" instead of another labrador. Love the way you have started placing your url watermark "creatively" within the photos...

paperdiva - that is really cool. Beautiful!

kristie kulik - gorgeous! 'nuff said :)
