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 Littlest Dogs | Dog Photographer

Thursday, July 30, 2009

I’m convinced that the littlest dogs believe they are the biggest dogs and vice versa.

Lindsay P - I couldn't agree more!! I have an 18 lb shih tzu and a 130 lb bernese mountain dog and the bernese definitely thinks he's the lap dog of the two.

Kath - I have to agree, our wire haired dachshunds have no idea that they are as short as they are - none and our 95lb malamute is convinced that we are size disoriented and he is much smaller than we think -

oneshotbeyond - I believe you are right! :-)

MAYBELLINE - I can testify. When walking my English Mastiff (220 lbs), the little yappers ALWAYS try to take him on.

Savannah - Yes, my mini schnauzer definitely thinks he's a rottweiler ;)

Brent - I read somewhere once that dogs don't have a perception of size, hence the big dog/lap dog syndromes. I can't verify the validity of that, but it would explain a lot :)

Karen - Aww, this shot is so cute! I love the angle. =]

cortney - umm i would have to agree! My Murray Man has "little man" syndrome horribly!

Erin - So is Gracie!!!

katie - It is so true. And I know this because my 145lb Newf tries to sit on my lap and is scared of bugs. :)

Marilyn Keys - This is adorable!

Kasey - I totally agree! I don't even think my dog realizes how small she really is! Precious photo!

Margaret - Beautiful expression & color. On my 17" monitor, might even be larger than life. Great work!

Fred Holmes - Then that is one BIG dog!
