Candice C. Cusic Photography Studio

 

Chicago-based Pulitzer-Prize winning photojournalist and former Chicago Tribune staffer Candice C. Cusic is an established wedding photojournalist and an international photography educator. Aimed at families, pets, weddings and portraiture, Cusic specializes in Moment-Driven Photography™ by capturing strong moments without posing.

Cusic’s studio, located at 1431 W. Chicago Ave, provides a remarkable experience for people who want to celebrate their family. Additionally, beyond just standard photos and albums, the studio offers customized wall art that tells the story of the people in the photographs.

“I believe that the best images are Moment-Driven and that you don’t need a hundred photographs of you and your pets smiling for the camera. Instead, we focus on capturing moments between you and your family in locations that are meaningful to you as a family. When you see your photographs on your walls they will show you who you are, not just what you look like. This is our goal.”

    Riley isn’t just part of the family—he’s part of the home.
His parents hired me to create portraits that would celebrate his spirit and live on their walls, forever.
📸 Because when a dog means this much, they deserve more than a phone pic.
They deserve to be seen, remembered, and cherished—every single day.

    Layla was used as a bait dog.
Now she’s safe, loved, and finally home.

Her parents hired me to honor her story—because she’s not broken. She’s brave.

📸 This is what love after survival looks like.

    Get ready with me—Chicago pet photographer & animal communicator edition.

My mornings start with movement, intention—and coffee.Because every day, I show up for animals.The ones waiting for a home.And the ones already part of your family.

This is how I begin.With purpose. With heart.And a whole lot of love for the animals who trust me to tell their story.

Giving animals a voice—through connection and story.
