Erin LACKEY PHOTOGRAPHY
PET PORTRAIT SESSIONS FOR A CAUSE
WE ARE LOOKING FOR 16 DOGS!
"Because pets are family, too."
About Erin Lackey
Erin's goal as a photographer became clear after the passing of her sister 7 years ago: to celebrate families, children and pets at every milestone in their lives and to reveal their authentic personalities. She does this through beautiful timeless images with highly personal artwork to help your house feel more like a home.
She loves partnering with the Northwest SPCA because that is where her late sister adopted her cat, Boomer. Erin wanted a way to give back to the shelter while using her gifts and skills as a pet portrait photographer.
"I wanted so badly to create something that wouldn’t just live on a link or hard drive, but instead could become part of your daily lives. Something that will feed into your life daily. I envision these portraits I create as being something that is displayed in a prominent place in your home to affirm the joy and love you have as a family."
