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.

Nice to Meet You!

Tuesday, December 8, 2009

Various projects lately have required that I send in or post an image of myself so I figured at 33 I better get some good shots in before everything goes to hell.

I hired the always fabulous Michelle Moore to do some updated headshots. The equally fabulous Jenny Bowker did my makeup. The combination of Michelle and Jenny is magical.

Michelle is now traveling up and down the West Coast regularly and is great fun to work with. If you don’t have a headshot or need an updated one give her a jingle!

I think when Michelle asked me what I was looking for, the only thing I said was “Please no serious shots!” because I am so not a serious person.

I kind of feel naked doing this but whatever, it is way overdue.

It’s nice to meet you :)
