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.

Non-Dog related life activities have been keeping me busy lately but I’m hoping to pick up activity again here soon. I was in my archives today and was reminded of an image that still is one of my personal favorites. Take away the conditions of the light that day and it would have probably just...

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...
