Fearless Conference, Bucharest, Romania

I recently taught two Master Classes and was a guest speaker at the amazing Fearless Conference in Bucharest, Romania.  I carried an Olympus OMD EM1 with me and used it to immerse myself in Romania and its beauty.  The vintage architecture inspired me daily, and the incredibly sweet and warm people I met truly made this a memorable experience.

Our conference featured some of the best wedding photographers in the world, both on stage as speakers and in the audience as students.  Everyone was in love with the same thing, documenting love.  Gathering with a large group of people who love the same things you do is invigorating and a must for everyone at least once in their lifetime.

I didn’t have a lot of time for photography, but I am happy to share what I captured that magical week here.  I am also so incredibly thankful to my friends, old and new, for opening their arms and hearts to me.   Thank you and I can’t wait to visit Romania again!

During their animal communication reading, Sam and Frodo thanked their foster, Hilary, for saving their life. They also shared something about their past and their hope for the future: no more cages.

This video is part of The See Hear Love Project — the only project that combines animal communication with fine-art photography to help adoptable animals be truly seen and heard.

These bonded bunnies are ready for a safe, loving home where they can stay together.

Sam and Frodo are available for adoption through @onetailatatime.

SEEN. HEARD. LOVED.

Seen. Heard. Loved.

Candice C. Cusic has launched a powerful new project, The See Hear Love Project™, to spotlight the rising number of animals in Chicago shelters. In collaboration with local rescue groups, she’s giving a voice to animals who deserve a second chance and a loving home.

This one-of-a-kind initiative combines the art of animal communication with Cusic’s renowned photography to help each animal be seen, heard, and ultimately adopted. Follow along to meet them and discover their stories.

Since the filming of this video, Ramona has officially become a proud foster fail—aka ADOPTED! She now spends her days living her best life with her mom April, her dad, and five pig siblings, soaking up all the love, snacks, and belly rubs she could ever dream of. 🐷❤️

Last year, 3,380 dogs and cats were euthanized in Chicago.
During his animal communication session, Tater shared something quietly heartbreaking:
“Sometimes I worry people won’t like me. I worry if I’m good enough.”
His foster mom couldn’t hold back tears — because he is good enough. Every dog waiting for a home is.
October is Adopt a Shelter Dog Month, and Chicago’s shelters are beyond capacity.
The See Hear Love Project™ unites animal communication and fine-art photography to give foster animals a voice — so they can finally be seen, heard, and adopted.
