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.

Kid Day

It’s kid day!

We visited my sister in the sticks Sequim a few weekends ago and while I was there I did a small family shoot for her friends. My sister has an amazing back yard complete with chickens (and a rooster I want to kill), pastures, and golden fields with incredible winter light. It is so nice to be able to just shoot in the back yard!

I like shooting non-dogs every so often because it keeps me interested. Although I love shooting in a particular niche, sometimes I just need to do something different. Kids are a nice reminder that there is nothing more important than to run around, climb fences, and have fun.

Here are a few of my favorites in album format.

This is a new favorite image of mine.

It demonstrates one of the unmentioned family games that has begun to evolve over the last year or so. The game is called “Where’s Winnie?” I swear every picture or video my sister sends me has Winston somewhere in it and it is completely unintentional on her part. So of course when I pull my camera out…he appears! I bet you didn’t see him at first did you?

We love our little Winnie man :)
