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.

Monday, December 1, 2008

It is the Monday after a nice, extended, and relaxing weekend. I know it is hard for everyone to go back to work after a weekend like that, which is why I decided to post something to surely make you smile.

Rudy’s Dad has been in the service for the last 7 years. He is now adjusting to an 8 to 5 job, just bought a house, so naturally what comes next?

A puppy!

I have been dying to shoot a Goldendoodle for awhile now, so imagine my excitement when I got the the chance to shoot a 12 week old Goldendoodle. I had to restrain myself from stealing him because I just know Miss Gracie would have loved a new, cuddly, fluffy brother :)

I’ve been posting only one or two shots lately so I’ll load this one up with oodles of cuteness!

Now don’t you feel a tiny bit better?
