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.

Kat Speyer - Love it! Great schnoz!

Aroo Studio - Never would have guessed that, love the look!

Erin - No. Shot in RAW and color corrected in ACR Bridge.

Wendy - Curiosity... Camera white balance set to fluorescent?

Bob K - Fluorescent strip lights from hardware store? Looks really good if that is what you used.

heather - Flash bounced off ceiling, two reflectors, one on each side of Miss Gracie. (And do I spy your husband's arm?)

andrew - car headlights.

Erin - No one yet and I took this shot about 2 weeks ago :)

Renee - I'm going to guess that this photo wasn't recent and say snow! PS - Ryan and I saw a "Gracie" in our neighborhood yesterday for the first time. That Great Dane was so beautiful, but it was almost all gray!

allison - It's almost even too white for that, flash bounced off of a white door or the refrigerator? Ok that's my last guess ;)

allison - or just a door open

allison - Sliding glass door!

Erin - Neither :)

Dennis Bullock - strike that....ring flash!

Dennis Bullock - flash w/softbox
