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.

Pencil Art

A few weeks ago I was contacted by an artist asking permission to use some of my photos as reference images for her drawing.

I was intrigued and we worked out an arrangement for her to use the images. I asked her to send me some of them when she was done so I could see what she had created. I was so amazed when she sent me the final version of the first image. It is stunning!

Sheona’s art is in classic black + white using graphite pencils. Oh how I wish I could draw like this! You can check out her site at sheonahamiltongrant.com

One of the images she used was this one of sweet Vinnie when he was just a baby snuggling with Mom.

And turned it into this incredible piece of art! I am so blown away by it. I can only imagine what it looks like in person.

Thank you for sharing Sheona!!!
