Cathy Dee - Photographer

Cathy Dee has been shooting people and other animals since she was very small.

Pet and Portrait photographer Cathy Dee trained as a photographer in New York in the late 80s. After winning the NZIPP Portrait photographer of the year in 1993 she worked in Wellington and then New Plymouth. When digital photography kicked in, unfortunately, no longer being able to afford the gear required, Cathy gave up as a pro photographer and took up other things...until now. Now she is back, better than ever and ready to capture you and/or your pets as Something Out of the Ordinary.

A hot day today so a swimming hole was just the ticket for Moss!

Moss, trying to herd the dogs at the dog park this morning.
I have a bad case of the flu - I'm calling it the Spanish Flu seeing as my husband brought it back from Spain!
All I can do is drag myself off to the dog park and park up on a bench and take snapshots of Moss having fun as I don't have the energy to walk anywhere!
I was quite taken with this snap of Moss as it really shows her working dog instincts.

I thought I should do a series of photographs of dogs at the park and call it dancing with dogs, what do you think?

Mitzy and the cow.
Sometimes everything just lines up.
This was one of those times.
Huge thanks to Mitzi's fab 'parents', Emma and Craig Thompson who allowed me to have a huge amount of fun working with the much loved Miss Mitzy.

Much as I adore dogs, I've been dying for the chance to photograph a cat for the grey muzzle series.
Snowy wasn't who I was there to photograph however he made a very quick appearance on his way to do ...important stuff :-)

Dotti started off wondering what on earth was happening but quickly got into the groove, however this one, which was one of the first images I took is a favourite in my book..

Anyway, I'm enjoying it so much I've decided to extend the offer till the end of October!
