Before you share your story..

Let me tell you mine..

Hi, I’m Catherine—your photographer and biggest supporter.

I’m the heart and lens behind Captured by CatDog. Photography isn’t just what I do; it’s how I connect with people, celebrate their stories, and preserve the moments that matter most.

With over a decade of experience working with pets, I know how to create a comfortable space for your furry friends and capture their true personalities.

Let’s create something beautiful together.

I believe in the magic of golden light, the beauty of candid smiles, and the joy of just being you. Whether we’re trekking the North Carolina beaches or capturing cozy moments in your home, my goal is simple: to create images that feel as special as the memories behind them.
