Chicago Dog Photographer: Shiloh & Lewis

Capturing Canine Bliss: A Heartwarming Dog Photography Session with Shiloh and Lewis

Shiloh and Lewis, the dynamic duo, completely stole my heart! When their paw-rents reached out, we swiftly scheduled a studio tour to ensure a stress-free shoot day for both pups. From the moment I met them, I couldn’t help but fall head over heels for this wonderful family.

Their attentive paw-rents made the experience even more special. Shiloh and Lewis, the epitome of happiness and calmness, soaked up every bit of attention (and, of course, treats!) during the session. The connection and love within this family were palpable.

Opting for timeless elegance, the paw-rents chose our Italian wall art in classic matte metal. The five-photo collection now graces the space above their bed, creating a stunning visual ode to their cherished fur-babies.

Every day, they can gaze into the eyes of Shiloh and Lewis, feeling the warmth and love that defines their fortunate family. It was an absolute joy capturing these moments, and I’m grateful to have played a part in creating lasting memories for such a pawsitively delightful family.

Because every wag and woof deserves to be immortalized in art.

 

We received  a 5-star review from Shiloh and Lewis’s parents!

“I feel so lucky that I stumbled onto an article about Candice in Block Club and impulsively called her. The photos we wound up purchasing are totally amazing, and I will cherish them forever. Three months after our session, they still make me smile every day.

Just as important as the product, the entire process was wonderful. Our dogs, one of whom is quite timid in new environments, got to come to the studio for a meet and greet before our session so they were familiar with the space. During our session, Candice and her assistant were absolute saints with boundless patience for our very stimulated pups. Finally, an hour after our session was complete – and with the doggos back home napping – we got to go right back to the studio to see the photos, drink some Prosecco, and decide on what art we wanted to purchase. When one of our pieces didn’t come out exactly right it was replaced promptly and with zero questions.

Overall, I cannot recommend Candice highly enough. If professional dog/family photos are something you’ve been thinking about, working with Candice is a totally worth it splurge :)”

    Avalanche wasn't interested in being the center of attention.

He just wanted to be close.

    Dama arrived at the studio in a wheelchair.
⠀
That was the first thing I noticed.
⠀
It was also the least interesting thing about her.
⠀
What I remember is her determination.
⠀
Her curiosity.
⠀
Her joy.

    I created The See Hear Love Project to help animals like Blanca.
⠀
Painfully shy. Dumped on a road before the rain came. Nervous around strangers. Ears down. Tail tucked.
⠀
For those new to the project, these are not carefree, well-adjusted animals. Many have experienced neglect, abandonment, fear, or loss.
⠀
Sometimes we only get one photograph when they truly relax.
⠀
Thankfully, we only need one.
⠀

Special thanks to @sayvanimalorg for bringing Blanca to The See Hear Love Project.

"All I want
⠀
is to feel loved and safe."

    One of the best things about photographing Ramona is watching everyone react to a pig in the building.

People stopped.

They smiled.

They took selfies.

One gentleman asked if I could wait so he could FaceTime his girlfriend because she loves pigs.

The hardest thing about photographing a pig is that pigs don't stop moving.

Ever.

This portrait worked because Ramona kept walking in circles, allowing us to see her body and face at the same time.

Not shown: Ramona chewed up the paper backdrop on set. Her pig squeal echoed through the studio—loud, proud, and impossible to ignore, just like Ramona herself.

"Thank you

for saving my life."

— Ramona

The See Hear Love Project combines professional photography and animal communication. Each portrait is paired with one of the most powerful messages the animal shared during their communication session.

Seen. Heard. Loved.

    Some dogs don’t just fit into a family — they become part of its heartbeat.
⠀
Eddie was pure joy to photograph with his two favorite people. The connection between them was effortless, loving, and completely real.
⠀
These are the moments worth remembering.
    Meet Zeno.

After being surrendered by his owner, Zeno has spent more than a year waiting at Red Door Animal Shelter for someone to choose him.

And somehow, after all this time, he’s still soft. Still trusting. Still hopeful.

Cats like Zeno don’t need perfection. They just need someone willing to see them.
