Meet Candice

Candice C. Cusic is an internationally award-winning Chicago pet photographer and animal communicator with over 40 years of experience capturing the deep, unspoken bond between pets and their people.

Before founding her Chicago pet photography studio, Candice was a Pulitzer Prize-winning photojournalist at the Chicago Tribune, where she honed her ability to tell powerful, authentic stories through photography. Today, she brings that same storytelling approach to Moment-Driven Photography™—a signature style that captures real emotion, connection, and personality in every pet portrait.

Named Best Pet Photographer in Chicago, Candice’s work goes beyond just creating stunning portraits. She believes pets are more than companions—they are family, teachers, and guides.

Through her unique ability to blend pet photography and animal communication, Candice ensures that every session honors the love, spirit, and presence of each pet, creating timeless dog and cat portraits that will be cherished for a lifetime.
