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.

Jaymie - I really love the one you took of her tail and the one of her peeking over the bed! Great job as always! :)

Erin - Hi Bari, Thank you. If you have the time, you'll need to help the dog get over the fear of the camera. Lots of positive reinforcement, pets, and treats are all great tools!

Bari - These are wonderful. I love all of your work, but today I felt compelled to comment. What do you suggest for a dog that is petrified of the camera? Just seeing it makes him turn right around and run out of the room.
