Connections are everything in this business. They can either make you or break you. With ELKAphoto reaching two years just around the corner, I have struggled to expand my reach into the Youngstown area. I have slowly but surely trusted the Lord to guide me to the right families, the right brides & grooms, and the right connections. I have had the privilege to make a connection and new relationship with the Columbiana Wine Festival. Jaqueline Shell reached out to me and we sat down to figure out ways to get more exposure for the festival & all that goes with the event. We started with this night. A typical committee meeting full of new ideas, laughter and of course, wine. They are a great group. I had such a blast being “invisible” and capturing the mood of the evening.

The festival will be June 28, 2014 in Columbiana, Ohio. You can find their page on facebook here: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Columbiana-Wine-Festival/199107996898565

Enjoy a few shots, and look forward to many more connections like this one! Look out Ohio! ELKAphoto is a coming!
