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.

Dreaming

I did something special for myself this year. I decided I wasn’t going to take any private commissions for the month of December. I considered it my little Christmas gift to myself. In addition and for a variety of reasons, we decided not to do any presents this year.

It has been so great to be able to sit back, relax, and enjoy the holiday season. One of the most unexpected results has been a surge of creativity. Without all the “business” crowding my mind, my eyes have been opened to certain locations that have been right under my nose as well as a whole slew of conceptual shoots I want to execute.

I execute some of these shoots, I am always in need of models so if you haven’t signed up for The D List make sure you get your dog on there! Next years travels have me going to Denver and San Francisco but I am also on the hunt for puppies (8-9 weeks) in Seattle as well.

Gracie, Elephant, and I have been spending a lot of time together too.
