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.”

    Meet Trixie — the very first foster animal to launch The See Hear Love Project™.

    Rescued from Chicago Animal Care & Control and safe today thanks to @darkhorsedogs, Trixie opened her heart during her animal communication session and shared her wish: a forever family to love her gentle spirit.

    Her story begins The See Hear Love Project — a movement that combines fine-art portraiture with animal communication to help foster animals be truly seen, heard, and adopted.

    This October, in honor of National Adopt a Shelter Dog Month, Trixie’s story highlights the countless foster animals still waiting to be adopted.

    Follow along as more animals share their voices — and please share Trixie’s story to help her find her forever home.

    🐾 After Maggie’s first animal communication session, her words surprised us all.
    But what she shared next was just as powerful…
    This famous Chicago dog (@maggieandherdads )reminded us why animals deserve to be seen, heard, and loved.
    Her voice helped inspire The See Hear Love Project™ — a campaign giving foster animals a chance to tell their own stories through communication and fine-art portraiture.

    🐾 What happens when a famous dog finally speaks?
    When Chicago’s beloved Maggie (@maggieandherdads) had her first animal communication session, she surprised us all with a message about her family:
    “They’re my boys too. They don’t belong to everyone.”
    She was talking about her dads — claiming them as her own.
    That moment became the spark for The See Hear Love Project™ — the first campaign to combine animal communication with fine-art portraiture to help foster animals be truly seen, heard, and loved.

    Someone asked who I was celebrating today, and I said, `Myself.` Most people wouldn`t say that, but it`s time we do. This video explores why celebrating yourself is important and why your accomplishments are worth honoring.
    Who are you celebrating today?
