Project Socialite

Written by Ingrid Feder

We would like to present to you  our newest addition to Project Captured, the Project Inspire series,  debuting with a very special feature: Project Socialite. Each month, the Project Inspire column will feature a person, or group of persons, from various walks of life; these are individuals who have attained success by pursuing their dreams and who we feel are of inspirational character. The features will also be accompanied by an editorial photo spread shot by Christopher Free. By capturing and sharing the stories of such individuals, we hope to inspire others as they go about their own journey towards attaining success and personal fulfillment.

For the first installment, we are proud to share with you four of Chicago’s most influential and successful women: Candace Jordan, Lynn McMahan, Trevian Kutti and Kristina McGrath. These women are not only key players in the Chicago social-scene and leaders within their communities, but they are ideal examples of strong women with strong characters that have worked hard for all that they have accomplished. At the same time, they have remained humble and grounded, with big hearts and lively personalities, and beautiful both inside and out.

All of the women graciously opened their homes to us for the photo shoots. In the process, we had an intimate glimpse into the lives and personalities of each woman, into who they really are, and we had the opportunity to learn more about how they got to be the successful individuals that they are today. We would now like to share with you these glimpses, captured in Christopher’s photographs, along with their unique, inspirational stories.
