Overview
I fell in love with photography when I was a child. My grandparents, Hazel and Raymond Azar, were amateur photographers and I would spend hours looking at old photos they had taken of my mother, MaryAnn and my aunts, Barbara and Pamela, as children, many staged for greeting cards and holiday photos. I would spend time in the dark room watching them develop and process film and I curiously studied their camera gear, which was facinating. By the age of 12, Patsy Hall, a renowned wildlife and portrait photographer, inspired me with her work and led me to my first camera, a Nikkormat EL, and my adventure began. Whether it was birds, flowers, St. Louis architecture, or a sporting venue, I found great joy and passion when I held a camera in my hands. Opportunities started to come my way and it gave me the ability to show people my work too. My greatest inspiration came when I became a mother and began photographing my sons, Hunter, Harrison, Hayes and Heath, which gave me a new perspective and allowed me to see the world through their eyes. My husband Scott has been my greatest supporter and encouraged me to pursue my passion and follow my dreams. For the past 20 years, I have been primarily shooting sports. As a former collegiate athlete and having sons who also played sports in college, I found that being on the sidelines of a FIFA qualifier, NCAA or NFL football, minor-league or MLB baseball diamond and to tell the story and show the incredible skill and grace of an athlete was incredible and a high like no other! In my free time, I enjoy shooting sunrises and sunsets, birds and wildlife, flowers and butterflies, architecture and landscapes, and beautiful things we tend to overlook in our busy lives. Daily I strive to make a positve difference and inspire the next generatiion. Mahatma Gandhi said, "If we could change ourselves, the tendencies in the world would also change. As a man changes his own nature, do does the attitude of the world towards him...we need not wait to see what others do" If you are interested, you can check out my sports portfolio at http://hockegal.myportfolio.com
