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.

Chopper’s Album | Seattle Dog Photographer

During my last tour of the Humane Society I learned that not only are they a no kill shelter but the average stay for a dog is only 1 week! If dogs are not adopted, they are then placed into foster homes until they can find a forever home.

As a puppy, Chopper was dropped off at the Humane Society with a broken leg. It was assumed that his owner couldn’t pay for the surgery. Due to the severity, his leg had to be amputated.

His Mom + Dad had been serving as Foster Parents for the Humane Society for awhile but each dog was just not meant to live in their home…until Chopper came. He was full of life and had lots of love to give. He had found his forever home.

Here are some pages from his story. The rest can be seen on my website.
