Chicago Moment-Driven Wedding Photojournalism Workshop

I just returned from Arizona where I was a featured speaker at the Fearless Photographers Conference, an annual gathering of some of the best wedding photographers in the world.  I attend this wedding photographer conference each year and this is the third time I’ve had the honor to speak within this incredible organization.

We aren’t just an online group of photographers, we are truly a family.  Each year I am humbled, surprised and loved when I surround myself with others who share the same passion I do.   I am a better photographer, educator and friend because of my involvement with this wonderful family.

I am honored to invite my fellow Fearless Photographer community a 10% discount to join me in Chicago for one of my upcoming Moment-Driven Photojournalism Workshops or online during a Mentor Session.

The Moment-Driven Workshop regular price is $899. Fearless members only pay $799. With each Fearless member submission, I will donate $45 to the American Cancer Society (in honor of my mother, Carolyn Cusic.)

Please provide your Fearless link when you apply and don’t forget to enter the upcoming wedding photography contest!

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

    "Maybe I`m not a misfit.
    ⠀
    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.

    Some dogs don’t just fit into a family — they become part of its heartbeat.
    ⠀
    Eddie was pure joy to photograph with his two favorite people. The connection between them was effortless, loving, and completely real.
    ⠀
    These are the moments worth remembering.

    Meet Zeno.

    After being surrendered by his owner, Zeno has spent more than a year waiting at Red Door Animal Shelter for someone to choose him.

    And somehow, after all this time, he’s still soft. Still trusting. Still hopeful.

    Cats like Zeno don’t need perfection. They just need someone willing to see them.

    Seen. Heard. Loved.
