Cat Palmer

Cat Palmer (born in Orange County, California) is an American queer photographer and artist best known for images of women.

Career

Cat began working full-time photography and art in 2009. She has been shooting since 1995 and professionally since 2004. In 2022, she retired from shooting weddings but still focuses on headshots and portraits of people. She photographed SLC Mayor Jackie Biskupski's wedding to her wife, Betty.
