In the hustle and bustle of daily life, it’s easy to forget to pause and celebrate the special moments we share with our loved ones. At Candice C. Cusic Photography, we believe that every moment with your family—whether human or furry—deserves to be cherished and remembered. This belief was beautifully illustrated in our recent session with Vivian, a charming Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, and her loving owner, Debra. Their bond is a testament to the joy and companionship that our pets bring into our lives, reminding us of the importance of capturing these memories now.

Meet Vivian: A Cavalier King Charles Spaniel Full of Love

Vivian is an adorable Cavalier King Charles Spaniel with a heart full of love and a personality that lights up the room. With her soft, expressive eyes and silky coat, she is the epitome of grace and charm. Her playful nature and affectionate demeanor make her the perfect companion, always eager to cuddle and share in life’s simple joys. Vivian’s gentle spirit and loyalty have made her an irreplaceable member of Debra’s family.

Debra and Vivian: A Bond Beyond Words

Debra’s love for Vivian is evident in every interaction. From gentle hugs to quiet moments spent together, their bond is deep and profound. Debra treasures Vivian’s companionship, finding comfort in her dog’s presence and unconditional love. For Debra, capturing their relationship through photography was a way to celebrate and honor the special connection they share.

The Importance of Celebrating Family Moments

Life is fleeting, and the time we have with our loved ones, including our pets, is precious. This is why it’s so important to celebrate and document these moments now. Professional pet photography allows us to freeze time, capturing the unique personalities and relationships that define our families. In Debra and Vivian’s case, the photos not only showcase Vivian’s adorable features but also capture the warmth and love they share.

Why You Shouldn’t Wait

Debra’s session with Vivian serves as a beautiful reminder of the importance of celebrating your family with photographs. Whether it’s a candid moment of playfulness or a quiet embrace, these photos become treasured keepsakes that you can look back on for years to come. They are a celebration of love, companionship, and the simple yet profound joy of having a furry friend by your side.

    Did you know your animal can have their own SEE HEAR LOVE Experience?
⠀
I photograph your animal and connect with them intuitively to learn what they want you to know. Later that same day, you see their portraits and hear their words together at a private reveal.
⠀
The Experience is $500 at Candice C. Cusic Photography in Chicago. Finished artwork is purchased separately.

    “I’m small but mighty. I have feelings too. I’m important too.” — Peanut
⠀
Before Peanut met his foster, he says he felt alone and unneeded.
⠀
Then Michelle took a chance on him.
⠀
“I feel so much healthier. It doesn’t hurt every day. I have a new life now and I’m forever grateful. I won’t take this life for granted.”
⠀
🐾 Peanut is available for adoption through SAYv Animal Organization. If Peanut feels like your kind of little guy, reach out to SAYv to learn more about adopting him.
⠀
Peanut is part of THE SEE HEAR LOVE PROJECT™.

SEEN · HEARD · LOVED.

    THE FIRST FULL-LENGTH FILM FROM THE SEE HEAR LOVE PROJECT™ IS HERE. ❤️
⠀
Meet Nori and Wasabi, a bonded mother and son looking for their forever home together.
⠀
I connected with them telepathically to hear their thoughts, feelings and what they wanted people to know.
⠀
During his communication, Wasabi told me he would give Gabriella, the woman caring for him, 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.
⠀
And Nori had her own story to tell.
⠀
This is what The See Hear Love Project™ was created to do: combine animal communication, portraiture and documentary film so animals can participate in telling their own stories.
⠀
We don't simply tell a story about an animal.
⠀
We tell it with them.
⠀
Nori and Wasabi are available for adoption through SAYv Animal Organization. If their story speaks to you, please share it. Somewhere out there is the person who is supposed to find them.
⠀
One animal. One story. One film created to help them find a home.
⠀
SEEN. HEARD. LOVED.

    “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:

    The See Hear Love Project™ is the world’s only documentary project told from the animal’s perspective—combining animal communication, portrait photography and film to help animals be seen, heard and loved.
⠀
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.
⠀
Seen. Heard. Loved.

    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.
