"WOW.. such an amazing experience and piece of art for our home. We brought our dog in for some family photos and they turned out better than we could have ever expected!
Candice was a pleasure to work with and we feel she truly captured our lives in her work. Very professional and most of all FUN to go through the whole process. We highly recommend her services to anyone looking to capture this moment of their lives."

Every foster animal has something to say.
Maggie’s animal communication session inspired the beginning of The See Hear Love Project™—and many more voices will follow.

Dama may be in a wheelchair, but her spirit is unstoppable.
Through The See Hear Love Project™, her voice and her story are shared—so she can be truly seen, heard, and adopted.
Thank you @sayvanimals for giving her the chance she deserves. Thank you @salvageone for welcoming us to photograph Dama in your beautiful space. She was a little nervous Nelly that day, so we finished her session in the studio. We’re so grateful for your support in helping animals like Dama be seen, heard, and adopted. ❤️🐾

This is Nala the cat. 🐾
Her reading wasn’t about adoption — it was about understanding.
Animal communication reveals what our pets are truly feeling.
Would you want to know what your cat is thinking?
Something extraordinary is beginning.
⠀
The See Hear Love Project™ gives foster animals more than a portrait—it gives them a voice. Through animal communication and photography, their stories will finally be shared with the world.

Meet Trixie — the very first foster animal to launch The See Hear Love Project™.
Rescued from Chicago Animal Care & Control and safe today thanks to @darkhorsedogs, Trixie opened her heart during her animal communication session and shared her wish: a forever family to love her gentle spirit.
Her story begins The See Hear Love Project — a movement that combines fine-art portraiture with animal communication to help foster animals be truly seen, heard, and adopted.
This October, in honor of National Adopt a Shelter Dog Month, Trixie’s story highlights the countless foster animals still waiting to be adopted.
Follow along as more animals share their voices — and please share Trixie’s story to help her find her forever home.

🐾 After Maggie’s first animal communication session, her words surprised us all.
But what she shared next was just as powerful…
This famous Chicago dog (@maggieandherdads )reminded us why animals deserve to be seen, heard, and loved.
Her voice helped inspire The See Hear Love Project™ — a campaign giving foster animals a chance to tell their own stories through communication and fine-art portraiture.
Follow along to hear the voices of animals still waiting for a home.

🐾 What happens when a famous dog finally speaks?
When Chicago’s beloved Maggie (@maggieandherdads) had her first animal communication session, she surprised us all with a message about her family:
“They’re my boys too. They don’t belong to everyone.”
She was talking about her dads — claiming them as her own.
That moment became the spark for The See Hear Love Project™ — the first campaign to combine animal communication with fine-art portraiture to help foster animals be truly seen, heard, and loved.
Follow along to hear the voices of animals waiting for a home.
