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.

Tuesday, September 30, 2008

I had a cold all last week and over the weekend and all the signs are there that tell me that I might have a sinus infection. So that means I am getting some extra cuddle time in with Gracie. It also means that I have decided it is Gracie Tuesday!

I really can’t decide what she looks like here. Maybe a torpedo?

One thing is for sure. She was NOT happy that I made her stay there.

She is the incredible, edible, folding Dane.

Irritated Gracie

Is she not the cutest thing ever? I love this shot of her. It might be one of my new faves.

She had enough of the couch and went to go find the sliver of sun to lay in.

Life is good for the Gracers
