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.

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

Pea

I was preparing this image for my sister to print extra big and I thought it would make a perfect Friday post.
I took this shot in August when it was warm and sunny and we were drowning in watermelon. If I recall correctly in this shot I took his piece and dangled...

On the Mend

I wanted to pop in here and let everyone know that I am, indeed, still alive. If you’ve been following me on Twitter or Facebook, you’ll already know that I had surgery last Wednesday and the recovery was a lot more brutal than I thought. But I’m happy to say that I’m finally...
