News: My daughter Jessica and I have just incorporated our photography business as Oohs and Ahs Photography (we measure success in oohs and ahs!) and a new, much improved Website is under construction. Please check back soon.

My name is Maurice Hagar. I'm a lifelong artist, descended from real artists, and a member of the Professional Photographers of America.

A world renown photographer once asked me if I'm into photography for the love of money or the love of art. If for money, he said, then pursue photography as a business. If for art, then make it your hobby. So I'm an IT manager by day and shoot whenever I can.

My goal is to capture the beauty of God's world--especially the passion and emotion of life--so I prefer to shoot in the photojournalistic style and my favorite subject is people. And there's nothing more beautiful than a wedding, my favorite subject of all!

The highlight of my career so far was spending a week in the field shooting with "Nikon Legend" Tony Sweet, who called me one of the "hottest" photographers he's worked with--the temperature was over 100 degrees! Tony is not a people photographer at all but I love his work and learned a lot from him. Check out my Nature gallery for some of the work we did that week.

What you see here is a portfolio of some of my work since going digital a couple of years ago.

Let me know if I can help you capture your memories of a lifetime. You can contact me at my main Website here.
