Cathy Firmbach was born and raised on Long Island, New York. Her Dad put a camera in her hands when she was quite young. Every few years she stepped up to the next level of cameras until she bought her very first SLR camera with her own savings at the age of 14. As Cathy said, “I can’t remember a time in my life when I didn’t love photography! It allows me the opportunity to capture the warmth of time with family, the serenity of the lakes and hillsides, the power of the ocean, the gentleness in every flower, and the magical beauty of hummingbirds as they dart through my
garden. Photography has become my passion. It’s my favorite avenue for creativity and self-expression.”
While Cathy misses Long Island and living on the ocean, living by Lake St. Clair fulfills her need to be close to water and provides many opportunities to photograph nature and nautical scenes. She has a whole new state to discover, savor and photograph.
We have Catherine's photos framed, made into greeting cards, and even a beautiful serving tray.
Catherine continues to hone her craft, and pursue new photographic challenges. You can see why she is one of the favorite photographers here at The Gift Shop.
