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.

Merry Christmas Eve

Merry Christmas Eve everyone!

We are set to have a very white Christmas this year in Seattle. I heard on the news yesterday that the last time we had a white Christmas was in 1990!

We have been housebound for a few days but I really do not mind it. It forces me to slow down, relax, take Miss Gracie on some fun walks, play out in the neighborhood (I built a really awful snowman with a dog head) and I’ve finished 2 books. Life could be much worse, no?

Miss Gracie woke up bright and early this morning to begin her Santa watch. Here she is anxiously waiting for his arrival.

And a few shots of her admiring the Pre-Lit, 3 Piece, 9 Feet of Love, Costco Christmas Tree. I love this thing.

ajira - Love these images... and that display of images on the wall is phenomenal!

Tobi - Amazing. Just beautiful and amazing.

Two Barking Dogs - Fabulous photos as always! Hope you are enjoying your holidays!

Jean - I hope you had a lovely Christmas Day, Erin, and that Santa brought Gracie everything on her list. Beautiful pictures, beautiful tree, beautiful Gracie.

Chung Nguyen - Yay(!) for pre-lit. (: Merry Christmas!

Deene Souza - These Christmas tree shots are the best. I just love and admire everything about your work . .. . or maybe I just love Gracie. Oh, DO NOT go see Marley and Me. You will be a blubbering idiot during the last 15 minutes of the movie and honestly it is not attractive. If you read the book, hold onto that memory. The book was way better than the movie and I'm just saying that because I hated myself for balling like a baby in the movie theatre in front of 100 people. Anyway, awesome pictures of Gracie!

liz - love your photos! they just make me smile!

Dodie - Wow! Great shots. I only can HOPE to get photos that are half as good as yours of my Golden, Chance. I absolutely ADORE those photos on your wall! The last white Christmas I saw was in 1981 when we still lived in Cleveland. Today the weatherman said that we had the nation's high temperature of 83 degrees! (But I do secretly envy your white Christmas!)

Anja - Wow.

Michelle Moore - I remember the white Christmas in 1990. I was 6. I got a brand new swing set from Santa. I went down the slide and crashed into a huge pile of snow and a tree in our yard.
