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.

Giving Is Awesome

Wednesday, December 10, 2008

There is nothing more satisfying than to be able to share whatever your gift is with other people.

I am still so moved by all the stories I received when I ran my contest this summer for a free session anywhere in the nation. So I am so excited to see that others are giving back as well. It is contagious!

Kristen Kalp has taken it one step further and has not only offered a free session but developed a site for photographers (global!) to participate in sharing the love.

The premise is simple: Think of someone you know who deserves custom photography but can’t afford it. Nominate them to win it. Sit back and bask in your own awesomeness.

Click on the map to go to the site for more info. It is quite simply…awesome.
