We recently connected with Brooke Capozzoli and have shared our conversation below.
Hi Brooke, so great to have you on the platform. There’s so much we want to ask you, but let’s start with the topic of self-care. Do you do anything for self-care and if so, do you think it’s had a meaningful impact on your effectiveness?
My version of self care varies depending on the day, haha! Sometimes, my self care consists of booking myself a massage, hair and a nail appointment to reset myself and give myself a little boost before I get back to the grind! Most of the time though, my self care consists of just a fun day out and about and a good meal with my family. A little reset and quality time with my husband and baby boy recharges me and inspires me to be the best I can be for them!
Let’s take a small detour – maybe you can share a bit about yourself before we dive back into some of the other questions we had for you?
I am a wedding and portrait photographer based in Los Angeles, CA! I love connecting and working with couples and families throughout the biggest milestones of their life – from proposal to parenthood – capturing your memories as they are, while they’re happening is my passion.
If you had to pick three qualities that are most important to develop, which three would you say matter most?
I think it’s so important to let yourself be open and flexible during your start! Make yourself available to try new things, to put yourself out there, and to be open to ask for help and advice from others. Being able to connect with people is such an important skill to have (especially when just starting out!). Connecting and networking with others in the business to learn, encourage and grow together, while also connecting with your potential clients and building that trust is key! Get out and try new things. Schedule creative time for yourself to create what YOU want to. No question is a bad question!
What was the most impactful thing your parents did for you?
I think one of the most impactful things my parents have done for me has just been how they fiercely love and encourage me to be 100% myself and chase my dreams without judgement. Even if I feel like I failed, they’ve always asked me if I did my best and gave whatever it was my best possible try. They’re always so encouraging and supportive of me and what I do and just want me to be my happiest self which is just so uplifting! If I have a hard day or am feeling stuck in my business and creativity, I know I can count on them for a listening ear, words of wisdom or advice!
