RedBridge Photo is hosting Holiday studio portraits
Red Bridge Photography is hosting In-studio Holiday Mini sessions at their Apex studio on November 29 and December 6! While there will not be a Santa in the studio this year, we will still bring all the holiday cheer you could imagine for these holiday studio sessions! With many Santa sessions and holiday portraits in commercialized spaces like malls won't be offered this year, we are offering a SAFE and holiday filled alternative.
- Up to 20 (TWENTY) minutes custom photography for Apex commercial studio session (time for family, kids and parents portraits - more groupings as time allows)
- Sessions booked every 30 minutes to allow time to clean high touch areas and space out each group so you aren't in the studio at the same time as the next group.
- Each session is for up to 6 (SIX) people and that is the max capacity for the studio/office with photographer and helper.
- Studio staff will wear masks. You do not need to wear a mask unless you feel more comfortable doing so.
- Sessions are $200 and include 3 (THREE) digital images delivered via Dropbox (both high resolution for print and low resolution watermarked for web).
- Online password protected gallery of the best images from the session for you to view images from the session within 7 (SEVEN) business days of the session. You have 10 (TEN) business days from gallery delivery to select your 3 (THREE) images included in the session for digital delivery. You have the option upon booking or after gallery delivery to purchase the full collection of digital images as seen in the online gallery for an additional $200 plus tax.

The Catering Company has opened up a sister company - Ghost Kitchen Eats!
“Long-standing members in the Triangle catering community, The Catering Company of Chapel Hill recently opened a sister company: Ghost Kitchen Eats, Chapel Hill’s first locally owned, delivery-only restaurant group. Ghost Kitchen Eats is a web based operation that features two distinct menus available for online ordering with immediate delivery; Bistro 501 and The BBQ Co. of Chapel Hill.
The Ghost Kitchen materialized as a response to an emerging market need for delivery-friendly, restaurant-quality meals. The seasoned entrepreneurs and co-owners of The Catering Company took their time crafting a thoughtful business pivot in response to the rapidly changing environment, a pivot that would utilize both existing infrastructure, and a highly loyal employee base.
Ghost Kitchen Eats is the Triangle area frontrunner in the emerging industry of ghost, or virtual kitchens. The company currently offers delivery to South Durham, most of the Chapel Hill and Carrboro Area, and has expansion plans for the future. In the meantime, local residents can experience a much-needed alternative to corporate third-party delivery platforms, like GrubHub or Postmates
The Ghost Kitchen and Delivery Co. is open for delivery Tuesday through Saturday, 11:00am to 9:00pm.
More information available at the website: www.ghostkitcheneats.com.
Upcoming Event

As we get back to in-person events, we have a few things we are doing to ensure that we keep everyone safe.
- Mask Wearing - everyone will be required to wear a mask unless they are seated at their table.
- Networking - typically this is the first hour and has food and drinks. We will keep networking, but it will not have any food or drinks to make sure everyone keeps their masks on.
- Seating - each meeting we will ask who you will be sitting with. We want to be sure that you are around those that you feel comfortable taking off your mask and eating and drinking.
As a reminder, meetings may look a little different right now as we want to be respectful of what sponsors are able to donate. Each meeting ticket prices will reflect the actual cost of the event. Some of our sponsors are able to donate and some we are paying in full for their product, time, and services. We do not want to tax anyone anymore than they already have been. We are trying our best to keep costs as low as possible, but you may see varying prices in the next few months.
We look forward to seeing you all on November 10th!
