Chicago Animal Communication Sessions
Your Pet Has a Voice—Are You Ready to Listen?
As the only Chicago-based professional offering both award-winning pet and family photography and intuitive animal communication, Candice C. Cusic helps you understand your pet’s emotions, needs, and personality on a deeper level.
Whether your animal is living or has crossed over, their message still matters—and Candice is here to help you receive it with clarity, respect, and care.
60-Minute Signature Session: The Ultimate Connection $500
Your pet has a voice. Are you ready to listen?
Whether your animal is living or has crossed over, an animal communication session gives you the opportunity to hear what they have to say.
Before your session, simply send me a photograph of your animal. During our 60 minutes together, I’ll connect with them and share what I receive—their feelings, memories, preferences, questions and anything they want you to know. You’ll also have time to ask your own questions.
Sessions are available in person at my West Town Chicago studio or worldwide via Zoom.
60 minutes · $500.
Animal communication is also at the heart of The See Hear Love Project™, my documentary project combining animal communication, portraiture and film to help shelter and rescue animals share their own stories and be seen, heard and adopted.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
"Candice is amazing! She did an animal communication session with our cat, Meg, which was so insightful! Candice could tell me things about Meg that made so much sense. She gave ideas to help us give Meg everything she needed and to deepen our relationship."
"Within a few days of our session, just from making a few tiny changes, Meg joined me upstairs while I worked, and she's often been sleeping in our bed at night. I'm so happy we did this, and I highly recommend working with Candice!"
-Jessica
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
"Candice’s ability to connect with animals telepathically is deeply apparent. My aging mixed-breed girl has a lot of feelings, and I have been concerned about her wellness for a while. Candice gave me great insights grounded in my dog’s history—details I didn’t share in advance or that could be guessed from a photograph."
"If you’re looking to connect with your furry friend, past or present,
Candice is the real deal!" 🐾💖
-Jamie
READY TO HEAR WHAT YOUR ANIMAL HAS TO SAY?
Every animal is different, and every conversation is different. Your session is private, personal and centered on the questions you have and whatever your animal wants to share.
Sessions are 60 minutes · $500 and are available at my West Town Chicago studio or worldwide via Zoom.
To request a session, email Candice@cusicphoto.com

“Does she need a ribbon or a string? Because that cheers me up.” ❤️
⠀
During his animal communication session, Wasabi told me he would give Gabriella all of his toys to make her smile. Then he wondered if she needed a ribbon or a string—because those are the things that cheer him up.
⠀
Wasabi came to the studio with his mom, Nori, for The See Hear Love Project™, where animals participate in telling their own stories through animal communication, portraiture and film.
⠀
Nori and Wasabi are available for adoption through SAYv Animal Organization. If their story speaks to you, maybe their forever home is with you. ❤️
⠀
Sometimes love sounds like something enormous.
⠀
And sometimes it sounds like:
⠀
“I would give you all of my toys.”
⠀
Seen. Heard. Loved.

This is pretty exciting.
**Bored Panda just featured The See Hear Love Project.**
The See Hear Love Project is the world’s only documentary storytelling project told from the animal’s perspective.
Through animal communication, shelter and rescue animals share their own stories, and we create fine-art portraits and documentary films to help them be seen, heard, and adopted.
I’m incredibly grateful to the rescues who trusted us with their animals and their stories:

⠀
George wandered into Owen’s backyard one winter.
⠀
And stayed. ❤️
⠀
During George’s animal communication session, I asked him about his life with Owen.
⠀
Then George told me something wonderfully specific:
⠀
“Cookies in bed make Owen happy.”
⠀
Owen’s reaction says everything. 😂
⠀
These are some of my favorite moments in animal communication. Sometimes what an animal shares is profound. Sometimes it’s heartbreaking.
⠀
And sometimes a cat who wandered into your backyard knows exactly what makes you happy.

The See Hear Love Project™ wouldn`t exist without the incredible rescue organizations that trusted me with the stories of the animals in their care.
Thank you for believing in an idea that was a little different, for opening your doors, and for introducing me to some truly unforgettable animals.
I`m so excited to share the latest sizzle reel for The See Hear Love Project™.
Every featured animal received a documentary film, fine-art portraiture, and an animal communication session designed to help people connect with the individual behind the adoption profile.
My hope has always been simple: to tell stories that help more animals find forever homes.
Thank you to every rescue, foster, volunteer, adopter, and supporter who has been part of this journey. This is only the beginning.
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 just have more to love."

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.
⠀
Please visit my page to see Blanca`s full story.
⠀
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.
