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.

The Curls

As I was editing his images.
I got to thinking.
What was it exactly that made me fall in love with him?
Maybe it was the wiggly body.
Or the high energy.
Or the way he ran around with that funny piece of bark he found on a walk.
Or the way he looked at his Mom.
But then I saw this image and I thought.
I think it was the curls on his ears.
Yes, it was the curls for sure.

O'Malley (+ Allison) - the magic of your work erin is the sum of the parts, but the parts stand alone too! the paws, the curls, the tongue. this is an amazing shoot, thank you.
