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.

No Swimming | Dog Photographer

Every now and then a shot comes along for me that just hits me right in heart. This is one of them. It tells such a great story.

I wanted to add some variety to Chopper’s images so I decided to see if the pool area was open. It wasn’t, so his Mom had to go back upstairs to get the keys. Rather than sit and stare at each other, I decided to just keep shooting. I’m not sure Chopper has ever been allowed in the pool area but he was so ready to get in there!

Both the pool and the hot tub still had the floating covers on them. Chopper thought the floating covers were hard and stepped on the cover and started sinking! I think we were all in shock for a minute and then he was quickly rescued. It wasn’t funny at the time but I think now I can laugh about it. We were all in shock!

All Chopper cared about was that his ball didn’t sink :)
