Photography with Purpose - Michael Airhart & Taste For The Homeless

Michael Airhart & Taste for the Homeless / 2021

Photography should always serve a purpose. And when you are blessed to find that purpose, it is truly inspiring.

Earlier this year, I had the amazing opportunity to photograph an amazing portrait session with Michael Airhart of Taste for the Homeless and Social Works. In late 2020, Michael invited me out to document his Taste for the Homeless mission in Uptown Chicago. I wasn’t sure what to expect but after photographing the session I can honestly say that I was blessed on many levels to see and document the pure love that Michael and his group have for the homeless community of Chicago. During our time, I witnessed someone who from his heart gave to those who were in need the most basic human necessities and treated them with dignity.

When Michael reached out and wanted to photograph his new product line, I was honored to have the opportunity! It was an amazing session and we created so great images for his mission.

Having the chance to photography passion and purpose is so special. Being able to freeze the amazing moments in time is something I cherish.
