Abundance.

June 7, 2012 •

Life is full and rich with possibility, but also with things that already are.

Things people have already worked so hard to create, pouring their sweat and money and tears into them. Beautiful flowerbeds they have nourished, seeds they have watered that grow into fruitful trees, grass they have diligently mowed. People who are not me have made beautiful photographs, incredible creative works, and lifting music.

But we each have something to say that is uniquely our own. We each have gifts that the world desperately needs, that the people within our sphere of influence desperately need.

I work hard to keep remembering these things.

There is enough beauty to go around.

I see it in a hundred rose bushes around my neighborhood as I run by, and in the middle of my sweat it’s as if I’ve never smelled one before.

The beauty is in the front doors coated with hanging flower baskets, or children’s toys, or fancy patio furniture.

I am running. The sun shines its magnificence on me from the northeast, and even though a truck honks at me I feel powerful.

I feel abundant, even though I woke up this morning to some hefty discouraging, deflating news.

But I trust, and I have faith. My life is full of so many good things, and I’d be a fool not to acknowledge those things every second, even in moments of feeling like a popped balloon.

We humans are very, very strong. A lot stronger than we give ourselves credit for. It takes a heaping dose of uncomfortability to find this, though. And how I wish sometimes it could be a one-time thing, a single investment that brought security of knowing it every day for every minute.

There is enough. You are enough. You have enough.

 

Now, go find the beauty.

I’m incredibly inspired by these two posts today.

The first, the most incredible piece about birth I have ever read, with the most moving photographs.

The second, a business manifesto of love.

………….

Also, I will be out of the office until June 19th, on account of I am going on vacation with my beautiful blue-eyed husband. And shooting this lovely wedding. As such, emails will be slow and the blog will be a bit quieter than normal while I soak up the California sun, eat copious amounts of the most incredible food (RA here I come!), and shop til I drop.

P.S. These pics? Just a taste of the genius of the darling Calie Rose. Wait til you see the rest! Mmmm.

Personal Work: Experiments in Film

June 1, 2012 •

I have been dying to get my hands on some film, and I finally did! The process of shooting film instead of digital is incredible–at times, it paralyzed me a little, wanting my images to be absolute perfection. But oh my gosh, you have to see these colors! And the journey of deciding what exactly I wanted to shoot, not just puttering around clicking away at every little thing. It takes the artistry of photography to a completely different and completely wonderful place.

A place that scares me half to death, because I’ve never been one for technicalities, and film requires a lot more precision.

But: if I’m not doing things that scare me, I don’t think I can call myself an artist.

Eventually I’m going to incorporate more and more film into my professional work, but I keep reminding myself I need to slow down–after all, this was my very first roll!

(Geek speak comin atcha now) My only complaint is that I was less than impressed with the way 35 mm performs at the golden hour. It’s got a grainy polaroid feel to it, and while I think it’s beautiful in its own right it’s not the look I’m going for when I want that romantic sun flare. I love that it’s different than anything I’ve ever done, though–isn’t that what personal work is for?

Also using a light meter is hard. So I didn’t. And I just metered with my DSLR–which got the job done quite nicely, for now.

And now I’ll stop talking and show you the beauty that is film. Eeeeek!

These shoes on the right? Fave.

A huge thanks to Chris for lending me his SLR and being patient when I came to him in a panic like, “You have to wind it after every shot?” Ha.

Have the loveliest of weekends, my dears!

Soulful, Authentic Art

May 22, 2012 •

Photos are serious business.

People like to say that we shouldn’t take ourselves too seriously. And that’s true–we could all use some lightening up about life in general, because no one’s going to die if we do this or that wrong–and if they do, big whoop. Death isn’t as scary as people make it out to be.

Not sure how I went from the topic of photos to death in three seconds flat, but back to photos. Making photos for other people is intense, because they are depending on you to provide something beautiful and timeless and long-lasting. and then you have to somehow be creating for yourself, to somehow be making things you think are beautiful and forget everyone else. put a period at the end of that sentence and just leave it be. You have to do both of these things at the same time.

But no one is served by giving clients the photos you think they want. You have to make the ones you want to make, show them, and trust that the people who are attracted to that vision will be head over heels in love with your future creations.

And how do we actually figure out what we want to make, when we artists and photographers are swimming in globs of inspiration and molds of how we “should” do things? There’s nothing wrong with inspiration of this kind. I happen to believe it’s vital to the craft. But at some point, when we unplug ourselves from these expectations and fears, what in the world will we want to make? That’s the scariest place. Scarier than letting other people down because we didn’t create what they wanted. It’s scarier because it’s all on us–we’re deciding everything and people have to take it or leave it. We can’t make any excuses for it. We can’t shift the blame.

I love this quote I found today by Larry Moss:

“We have a terror of being seen by making choices.”

Here is my only piece of real advice. Ready?

Take time and make time every day to nurture the artist. The muse inside who got you into this in the first place.

………………………………………

And now to you. You, darling. The one who needs and wants to document your life and love in photographs.

Does all this philosophical stuff make your eyes glaze over? Yes? That’s fine. If you want a photographer who has her formulas, her tried and true ways, and her surefire shots, that is totally and completely alright. A photographer who rushes to your session and does the same thing she’s done, not because she’s a bad photographer but because she’s tired, or she needs the safety of it, like you.

But I don’t want to be that photographer. I refuse to be.  If you need the security of knowing your photos will be exactly like so-and-so’s, don’t lay the heartache of adventure on yourself. If you need that safety, mosey right along.  It’s really okay. You’ll find that photographer easily enough. And I  bet the photos you get will make you wonderfully happy.

But if, by some chance, you would like to venture into this wild world of creating with me, and you itch for the buzz that comes when we will squeal together because together–not me alone–we are making the most wonderful photographs–welcome.

 

If you want to do this from a soulful place, a place from which we’ll draw the most authentic art–come on in.

I’d like to know you.

with a whole lot of love,

brooke.

7 Ways to Create Amazing Photo Ops on Your Wedding Day

May 9, 2012 •

I find that a lot of brides have so much on their wedding planning plate that they often don’t think about how the elements of their wedding day play out photographically. So, I thought I’d provide 7 ways to create breathtaking photo ops on your wedding day so you get the best possible photos.

Of course, these are only ideas to get your wheels spinning, lovelies, so take the goods here and make them your own flavor of fabulous!

1. Do a First Look.

This moment is so special and just can’t be replicated. These photos are some of the most emotional, tender, and all-around incredible–that’s why we photographers love it so much. The First Look also gives us a chance to connect before the ceremony and lets us iron out any last-minute details.

2. Write a letter to your groom.

And give it to him at the First Look or another quiet part of the day. Creating personal moments where you can connect with each other and fully experience the day will make it magical–not to mention the magical photos it will produce. This can be achieved in so many ways–here’s where you let your creativity loose, baby!

3. Have a bridal party brunch

While bridal party formals are wonderful, I find that so many weddings don’t leave much time for experiencing and capturing the incredible relationships within the bridal party. Create an intimate part of the day where you can just be with your most favorite people, and the gorgeousness of genuine laughter and love will follow.

4. Make your reception unique to you.

If you’re just interested in candids of your guests, consider having the photographer there for the first half hour only. This is the time when photographers get antsy, because with 2 hours of “candids” we quickly run out of things to photograph. Sure, I’ll snag your shoes, rings, bouquets, and other things, but chances are I’ve already photographed these things in 1) better light 2) a location that’s more meaningful. If we’ve worked out your timeline right (getting there!) I’ve already photographed all the details of the reception when they were pristine, and I’m not going to waste my time or yours snapping photos of half-eaten meals or guests trying to eat in peace.

The mistake most brides make is this: they want the photographer there for the bouquet toss, or the getaway, or the first dance, but they leave the photographer with an unholy overabundance of down time between when the reception starts and when the couple leaves. Of course, you absolutely should not plan your reception around your photographer. However, you want to get the most gorgeous for your dollar, and your photographer wants to be creative and involved during the reception. No (good) photographer likes sitting around at a reception knowing you’re paying her to do so, but also not wanting to detract from your experience or your guests’ by rounding up people for posed photos. Your photographer (again, if he or she is good) will think of any and every possible thing to photograph during this down time. The point is, those possibilities are exhausted pretty quickly.

Want to know the absolute ideal reception schedule for the best photos?

I’d be thrilled to tell you. Send me an email, and I’ll send it on over. brookebee@gmail.com

 

 

5. Talk to your photographer about your important people.

In addition to telling your photographer about your people before the wedding, let your photographer know who you’d like her to coordinate with throughout the day: the wedding coordinator, your maid of honor, etc. It helps so much when I can ask this person about special people to the bride and groom. When I have this information, I can provide beautiful photographs of the people you love, instead of fifty nine pics of your Dad’s old roommates from college. I also love coordinating with someone else for all the unexpected and last minute deets so that you are free to enjoy your day entirely, and get wrapped up in newlywedded bliss instead of whether I’ve gotten a photo of your grandmother.

6. Send over a short shot list that includes people, not poses.

If you hire a photographer you trust completely, you won’t need to add micromanaging her to your already way-too-long to-do list. Please, by all means, give her extra info that will help her out–your aunt is divorced and super sensitive about it, your little brother has a new girlfriend he’s bringing that mom and dad aren’t so crazy about, and the like–but unless there’s one specific shot you’ve always dreamed of having, let her do the job she was hired to do. You’ll be surprised that your photographer will actually be more creative when she feels that trust from you.

 

7. Consult your photographer when creating your wedding timeline.

Your photographer will be able to help you plan your day so you get all the beautiful photos you are dreaming of. She’ll be able to tell you how long she needs to get the family photos done, how much time she’ll need to photograph the details before the reception, and that your dream of having an individual photo of you with your 37 nephews means you’ll be sacrificing other photos. When you include your photographer from the beginning, you’ll be able to plan a day that fits your photography needs and ensures you know what to expect on your wedding day. You can also ask your photographer to send you an outline of what she’ll be doing and where throughout the day, so you’re never wondering where she is. (worst.feeling.ever.)

A lot of these things boil down to communication with your photographer. Which sounds a little boring. But. I promise my emails are laced with prettiness and unboring goodies–anything to make your day dreamier, my dear.

 

Brooke Schultz is a nice human who is a wedding photographer who loves capturing crazy passionate love and the happiest, most emotional moments in life. She’s into books you can touch, Nutella, and this (absolutely incredible) song (that you should go listen to with your beautiful ears because they will thank you.)

Drop her a line if you, too, are into authentic, unique wedding photography–she’d love to hear from you!

 

 

6 Reasons Why I Don’t Believe In Photographer Competition

April 24, 2012 •

I’ve always found it odd when photographers are scared by other photographers in their area and are forever comparing themselves to someone else. I thought I’d share some reasons why competition among photographers is silly and destructive and why we should all just grow our hair out and sing about peace and love.

1. My biggest asset is me.

Because at the end of the day, people can copy me (ohh, someday I’ll tell you stories!) but they’ll never be me. And I’ll never be them. The sooner we all accept ourselves with all our charm, quirk, and bad hair days, the sooner we’ll be attracting the perfect clients and making them burst with joy because we’ll all be in our element.  Anyone can wear bright lipstick and weird earrings. Anyone can buy the gear I have. But no one can create the art I create.

2. People crave vision.

And each photographer’s vision is unique. It may take a while to find your voice artistically, but once you do people will be able to spot your photographs from a mile away. You’ll feel comfortable and simultaneously creative, and vision is what people will be hiring you for, not for price or friendship or whatever else. When you have vision, that’s when you cross the line of aspiring/amateur and become an artist.

3. Not everyone with a camera is a photographer.

This goes right along with vision, but you’ve got to be confident enough in yourself not to be threatened by every new photographer who pops up. Au contraire, we should be befriending new photographers! Photographers love to complain about how everyone and their dog is buying a camera and trying to be a photographer, and they love to say that all those nice people and their dogs should not do that. But really? How do any of us start? The simultaneous beauty and pitfall of this art is that anyone (even dogs?) can pick up a camera. But professionals have their ducks in a row: business ducks, style ducks, philosophy and ideology ducks–professionals aren’t worried by New Photographer down the street because he is cheaper and has a nicer camera, because they know that’s only the tip of the iceberg.

AND, if we as photographers are not all in this together, the industry will just slide further and further down the tube.

4. The choice to hire me includes a whole lot of things that others don’t have.

Nobody else has the exact same combination of my style, my philosophy, my creative process, my brand, my particular flavor of goodness. Again, this goes back to confidence in the experience you’re offering clients. Is it actually unique? So quick: list 10 standout elements of your business. Time for some soul searching. (Up next: soul mating! Awesome!)

5. We may all be photographers, but we have different goals.

My ideal client is not the same as Photographer X, Y, or Z’s ideal client–and that’s the way it should be! It’s a wide world full of unique people who need photographer soulmates just the same as they need marriage soulmates. (Okay. I’m a little dramatic sometimes. But I feel strongly about the connection that should exist between a photographer and her clients. That’s why we have consultations!)

There are a lot of photographers who just aren’t sure who their ideal client is. Uhh, the one with the most money? Wrongo bongo. (I had an elementary teacher who said Wrongo Bongo. I secretly loved it.) Uhh, the one who books me? Kind of. Thing is, you’ve got to be sure what kind of clients you want because you’re creating art, and clients are equal partners in creating that art. You’ve got to be style soulmates, but you’ve also got to be philosophy soulmates. (Gosh, there’s a lot of soul-mating going on here today…) Not every person who needs photographs of their life is wild, creative, and passionate. But mine are. Not every potential client is smitten by unique things, spontaneity, modern class, world travel. But mine are.

In addition to the kinds of clients we adore working with, success looks different to every photographer. Some photographers love shooting a ton of weddings per year, others just want a few, or destination weddings, or they also love shooting families and take breathtaking shots of fingernails. Some love working out of a studio, some from their garage, some from a cardboard box. Your business plan should be tailored to your dreams, and in knowing what your unique flavor of success is, you free yourself from competition.

6. Artists competing make no sense.

Let’s just give it a rest, please? Can’t we be friends? We should be nurturing each other, drawing on each other’s strengths, not competing with each other or bossing each other around or scolding each other (99% of forums, anyone?) We’re artists. Let’s be sure enough of our vision, voice, goals, and individuality to be assets to each other.

 

Brooke Schultz is a soulful Utah wedding photographer who loves unique, non-traditional weddings full of pizzazz and class. She is mad for rose gold, memoirs, and hearty helpings of sunshine and fresh fruit with just a pinch of cinnamon. She is appalled by reality TV, plastic surgery, and Crocs. She squeals when couples ooze love and if you are such a couple and want to participate in such squealing, drop her a line.

 

Kendra: Black + White

April 4, 2012 •

I love shooting personal work–it’s such a gorgeous opportunity for me to hone my art, refine my vision and experiment. While I’ve been editing these photos, I’ve just felt there was too much here to share in one post; too much to be said with these frames. I would hate for these gems to be scrolled through mindlessly–a sad downfall of the masses of information and photos we consume all the time.

So, here’s me, scaling back in hopes you’ll digest these images for what they are: a representation of beauty, femininity, and life force–without airbrushing. With soul.

Meet Kendra. She has gorgeous hair and a beautiful soul.

More from this project to come, soon, my lovelies.

And oh? You want in on projects like this in the coming months? I’m cooking up some friggin’ awesome things, and I want you.

We Belong Together

March 21, 2012 •

We belong together if you have embraced being wild.

We belong together if you’ve got soul.

We belong together if you are thinking, right now, is she really referencing that totally lame Mariah Carey song by the same name? (And I am not. Although we all have to have a moment of silence for the incredible voice that is that woman’s, and shed a tear over all the wonderful music she didn’t make with it.)

We belong together if you’ve ever dreamt of running away into the forest to find yourself,

or taking a vacation by yourself to soul-search.

We belong together if you think the ocean is magical,

dance in front of the bathroom mirror to Florence and the Machine, sing along to Duffy, kind of worship Coeur de Pirate, love Bon Iver,

believe in documenting and preserving your life on not an iPhone,

are haunted by unique art, even if you’re not sure if you hate it or adore it

love the unexpected turns your life takes–

surprises, you love them.

You hate the word hubby. Okay, I can accept that it might just be me that hates that word. Also, chevron. Is that okay? Can I say I hate chevron?

We belong together if creativity is an essential part of you–you’re an artist of sorts,

a musician, food stylist, writer, or general free spirit extraordinaire.

You live life authentically, and you keep it real above all else.

You, you’re unique. You have a wild soul and hair to match.

I want to photograph you.

Wanna?

The Gifts of Imperfection

March 5, 2012 •

Hello, photographers? Can we just collectively agree on a few things?

Your photos don’t need a hundred actions to make your photos great.

They probably don’t even need one, unless that’s your love and you choose it independent of everyone else.

You don’t need seventeen lenses to document a story well.

Because what’s happening in the nineteen time you’re frantically changing lenses? Reality. Relationships. Beautiful moments.

Can we please stop with the oversaturated, high contrast, plastic skin and alien eyes? Can we stop gaussian blurring and vignetting the guts out of our photographs? Can we stop retouching every photo for twenty minutes, HDRing and sharpening and filtering until the thing is unrecognizable? I just feel like it’s a bad sign when we’re doing all. that. junk. to photos of people who were originally real, having a real moment in a real relationship. And then we have the audacity to flatten it into a piece of wannabe airbrushed plastic. It’s just a shame. If you do that kind of work and people are hiring you, I just feel sad. Because that is not art. That is not a reflection of life. It cries out to me as insecurity: my photos are not good enough the way they are, so I gotta doctor them up until they are transformed. Let’s stop trying to host Extreme Makeover on each of our photos. (You know? There’s always those gaudy before and after photos, where they apply an unholy amount of lip gloss to the once-human in question? Maybe that show isn’t even on the air anymore. Gosh, I am out of touch.)

I want to talk about being out of touch. Apparently I have a lot to say right now. Being out of touch is actually really beneficial for your art. You’re more likely to make truly unique work when you don’t spend 2 hours every day on other wedding photographers’ blogs. Important to know trends in the industry, and what it will handle? Yes. More important to get of your butt and go shoot more? Double yes. Of course I am guilty of this. Of course I pin and pretend it’s work. I go through blogs and feel (ridiculously so) that I’ve accomplished something. At some point you have to jump into the wide world and make beautiful things. Things you really believe are beautiful–not because current wedding magazines say so, or your grandma, or even your clients. If those just so happen to match, great. (And you should be attracting clients that adore your work, not creating work solely to please your clients, by the way.)

Let’s go back to the basics, where yellow is not the new white and creamy skin tones means film, not an orange cast over your photograph. Let’s go back to reality.

I want to see the wind and the sun and the smiles that were there.

I want to see the story, the real story, un-upstaged by your insecurity.

I want to see the beauty in imperfection, the beauty you find and capture.

And I shouldn’t care what everyone else is doing, right? I just feel sad that people are going to look back at your photos and laugh at how silly it was that you gave them alien eyes and smoothed their skin into plastic. I feel sad that those photos are going to get trashed and their memories that they probably paid you a lot of money to capture are buried behind 24 layers of filters. I feel sad that people are shelling out for that kind of stuff when it’s just a little bit horrifying. But you know? I can accept that it’s possible that people really do think ultra-photoshopped photos are beautiful and they will for a long time. But I gotta be real to me, and tell you that it makes me feel a little barfy.

I just want to tell you. People don’t want badly airbrushed fakeness of themselves. (And, I guess, if you do, you know where not to find that. Right here, sweetheart.)

People want the most artistic, gorgeous version of reality–and that is what they should be paying you for: your vision, not your camera or your lenses or your actions–because somebody else always gon’ have more and better.

………………………………….

If you find yourself nodding your head right now, and you love the book with the same title as this post, we might just be a match made in heaven. And I want to photograph you and your big bad awesome authenticity. So let’s talk, mm?

 

Q & A January: The Answers

February 7, 2012 •

Thanks to those who submitted questions for Q & A January! I love giving back to the photography community with the things I’ve learned about photography. Of course and obviously and I’m jus’ gon’ say it, these answers are just one photographer’s opinion, and are by no means gospel truth. Unless you decide they are.
Do you ever use actions in photoshop? Yes and no. I make actions myself to make workflow go faster, but I’ve never purchased actions. I may experiment with them in the future, but my philosophy is all about what’s natural and real, and I think that’s artistic–so I keep my editing to a minimum and preserve the natural, raw elements of the photo.
Do you use light room or photoshop for work flow? Photoshop entirely–I’m open to learning lightroom, but right now Photoshop meets my post-processing needs. =)
What do you like most about photography? Capturing the beauty and authenticity of people and relationships as they really are, in their natural environment.
What do you like least? Going to the post office. Serious. I don’t know what it is, but logistical places like that give me the heebie jeebies.
What is “retouching” when you edit or retouch an image. . . what do you typically do?
I keep it simple. Since I shoot in raw (holy guacamole, if you are not shooting in raw–go change the settings on your camera this instant. Will change your life.) I do a lot of adjustments in camera raw–basic stuff like exposure, fill light, etc. When I open the image in Photoshop I sharpen with unsharp mask, usually just the eyes/face, maybe add a bit of contrast, fix little things like random sun flare, minimal blemishes, and I’m DONE. Life is far too short to spend twenty minutes editing one photo, or even ten! I love shooting, not editing. So I do my best to keep it that way. =)
Do you take your camera everywhere? =) I actually don’t, and I think it oddly keeps me more fresh as an artist. There are definitely times when my adventures take me somewhere unexpected and I wish I had my camera, but I firmly believe in finding balance between just living life and documenting it–something I’m still trying to work out. I do take my camera to unexpected places to challenge myself, and definitely recommend doing that.
Do you share locations? Where is the one of the engagement session for Kirstina & Camon? That is beautiful!!! You did so awesome catching their love and the fall colors!!! I loved the pictures of them standing in the water . .. the light in the trees is great and the yellow reflects in the water! And of course they look so natural together and not posed!
Thanks so much! OF COURSE I share locations. It is absolutely ridiculous not to share locations, in my opinion–if your business is hinging on one great location, you’re toast. We did their engagements in Provo Canyon, at the second park in as you’re coming in–although I can’t for the life of me remember the name!
Why do you like your ice cream a little melty? Hahah. Because it is the only way to really enjoy the flavor instead of gettin yo tongue froze off.
What are some tips for posing people when you are out of ideas?
This is such a good question, and something I think all photographers deal with often. When I find myself drawing a blank in the moment, I either stop and talk to the clients (usually moving them to a new location) or I just take a second. I put down my camera and take a deep breath and encourage my clients to do the same. We shake it out, refresh our smiles, and remember why we’re there. By the time I’ve done that, I’m usually fresh and creative again.
What do you do to get clients to relax? This is closely linked to my philosophy–you know, providing clients with an entire experience rather than just images. I spend time talking to them, getting to know them, and taking breaks like I talked about above. If I find clients are particularly stiff, I let them get wrapped up in each other and go far away so they can forget I’m there. It makes for some great shots, besides.
I have a Nikon d70 and I can’t figure out how to shoot manually so the white balance is right! I always seem to be getting really red/yellow pictures and I don’t know what to do! First of all, forget about the preset “settings”–even if you’re in incandescent light, sometimes the fluorescent setting will work better, etc. Keep playing around and don’t be afraid to turn dials and wheels. Also, read your camera’s manual! You can usually find them online for free and search for the issue you’re dealing with.
Love your work! I love how you get cool sun flare in your pictures! How do you do that?! I experiment! I usually use a tree or building or some other element to slightly obscure the sun and see what comes out. I love beautiful light, and sun flare can be so unique to the setting and time of day, I really feel like it tells the story.
