Matthews Chamber Holiday Gala 2019

Clint and I always have an amazing time at the Matthews Chamber Holiday Gala and this year was no different. I had the honor of photographing the even this year and it was pretty clear that everyone had a great time.

This year it was held at the Hilton Garden Inn at Waverly and was Sponsored by Novant Health Matthews Medical Center and Dessi Dufresne of Edward Jones.

Feel free to scroll through and see just how much fun everyone had at the event recognizing some of Matthew’s amazing local businesses.

Monika's Headshots - Matthews, NC

Monika is almost always down for a photo adventure so when she came over looking super beautiful and with the news that she had just got hired for a new job we figured it was the perfect time to snap some new headshots for her.  Confession:  One of my favorite parts about shoots is when people drive by clearly wondering why the crazy photographer girl is in such a weird position on the ground or standing on a rock or walking backwards perilously close to the road.  You guys get the idea.

Matthews Free Medical Clinic

On Monday, I had the pleasure of hanging out with some lovely people of Matthews Free Medical Clinic and taking photos of their annual golf tournament.  This year it was at Raintree Country Club and we had fun zooming between holes on our four-seater golf cart and greeting everyone.  We were also able to eat food from some of the sponsors, including Chik-fil-a and Papa Murphy's Pizza, and do beer tastings with some of the others!

Many different companies and people sponsored the event, and everyone had a fun time coming together to support the clinic. 

You could buy a skirt (donations going to the clinic) and wear it to be able to hit the ball from the women's starting point.  That's probably not the correct terminology at all, but we're going to go with it since I know next to nothing about golf. 

I didn't get to stay till the end of the tournament, but we had fun right up until I had to run off for my next appointment. They had a dinner after I left where the winners of the silent auction was announced.  

 On a different note, I'm so glad I wore sunscreen.

Teal Film - Charlotte, NC

I did a fun experiment with some teal film I found at the PhotoPlus Expo a few years back.  Finally got to shoot and send it off.  It's definitely interesting.  Everyone came out as smurfs!  Lots of family beach photos and the color shift definitely came out kind of eery in those.

Saint Patrick's Day

Had so much fun last weekend with everyone in downtown Matthews for Saint Patrick's Day!  Met some new people and spent some good time with friends. 

Like this gorgeous woman. 

Had some fun and amazing drinks with the lovely people at Stumptown Station.I love hanging out in Matthews, not only because you see so many people you know, but there's a great atmosphere throughout the whole town.  No one gets shwasted (generally) and you're not dealing with crazy, drunk, bros. 

Then we headed down to Temple Mojo and sat outside in the beautiful weather (where'd that go by the way)!

We paused to take a few photos in front of the Planet Ballroom's cool green door, where Ace got a new dog girlfriend. 

After that we bebopped on down to Seaboard (one of my favorite places in all of Matthews) and sat on the patio where Lori and Laura were trying to teach Ace to balance a goldfish on his nose.... 

Seaboard just opened their brewery! It's awesome and they already make some kick-ass beers! You should check them out!

It was so great to get all of these people together and hang out, even if we were missing my Hubby (he had a bachelor party to be at and he missed out on all our fun).
