The Glow-Up of a Portrait Studio

In August of 2021 I moved a “penthouse” photo studio above my old location of Hubbard Lofts.

The space needed tons of work when we first moved but like they say, it was “love at first sight.” Dozens of construction workers helped fix the floors, doors, windows, and so many other spots that needed attention and care. After a few months of constant renovation, we had an amazing grand opening party at the end of October.

This studio is everything I have ever dreamed of with one-hundred year old floors, beautiful views of the Chicago Skyline, and all of the space for fluffy pets to run around! Check out our studio space, design consultation area, and client meeting area here!

It has been a privilege to be able to continue my journey as Candice C. Cusic Photography with my wonderful team. As we continue to grow, I want to thank you all for your support through this exciting journey. Stay tuned for a few exciting announcements in the upcoming weeks!
