Moment-Driven Testimonials
Candice is a natural born teacher. If you’re a new photographer, you’ll learn many launching-off points. If you’re already experienced, she’ll help you with creating even more emotion and moments in your photographs. Plus, she’s really funny and easy to listen to.
Right away I was drawn in by her positive energy. When she shared her work I was blown away by images that are both emotional and captivating. I quickly learned that she is one of the most approachable photographers I have ever met.
-Josh Hartman
Candice has the uncanny ability to deliver her points in a way that makes them instantly part of your inner photographic psyche, without you really realizing it’s happened. Since our Mentor Session, it’s Candice’s voice I hear nudging me to be better every time I shoot, for that I am eternally grateful.
-Pip Raud, UK
I couldn’t help but be moved by the power of the images and stories from her days as a photojournalist, she brings this same passion to her wedding photography and to her teaching. Over the last several years I have turned to Candice for help with editing, website content and photography. I have benefitted greatly from her wisdom and experience. I have grown as a photographer as a result of her guidance and recommend her workshop to anybody looking to do the same.
-Joe Appel
When I heard Candice speak at the Fearless Conference in Bucharest, I was already an experienced photographer, but something had been preventing me from being the photographer I wanted to be. I knew it. There was something about Candice’s approach… She made me see things with fresh eyes and fall in love with photography again. Candice is an excellent teacher.
-Irina Groza, UK
Candice gave me tons of helpful advice and tips that I’ve been able to incorporate immediately. The examples she presented were also incredibly helpful in illustrating her points. I would highly recommend Candice’s class to anyone who is looking to improve their photojournalism skills. She is a very kind and warm person on top of being an excellent teacher!

What has your animal been trying to tell you?
⠀
The $500 SEE HEAR LOVE Experience brings together portraits and animal communication at Candice C. Cusic Photography in Chicago. Artwork is purchased separately.
⠀
I photograph your animal and connect with them telepathically, then share their portraits and what I received during their reading at your private reveal.
⠀
This experience is part of The SEE HEAR LOVE Project™, which explores the bond between animals and their people. Participating animals are also considered for the upcoming book; selection is editorial and not guaranteed.
⠀
Tell me about your animal and what you’d love to hear from them:

Tootsie has been adopted! ❤️
⠀
When I met her through Hinsdale Humane Society, she was waiting for a home. During her animal communication reading, I received this message:
⠀
“The past isn’t a mirror. It’s not our future.”
⠀
Her reading held humor, hope, and an appreciation for something simple: “I have a bed and a blanket now!”
⠀
Watch Tootsie’s full SEE HEAR LOVE story—from her portrait session to the conversation about what I received during her reading.

Happy World Vegetarian Day! 💚🐐
⠀
I haven’t eaten animals in 38 years.
⠀
By one U.S. estimate, that’s the equivalent of sparing roughly 14,000–22,000 animals, including fish and shellfish. It’s an estimate, but a reminder that our everyday choices add up.
⠀
Animals have always mattered to me. These days, I photograph them and listen to what they want to share.
⠀
And occasionally take selfies with goats.
Meet Peanut. 🐾
⠀
Michelle is fostering Peanut through @sayvanimalorg. When I photographed him and listened to what he wanted to share, Peanut told me what it felt like to be alone and what changed when Michelle took a chance on him.
⠀
He also shared his love of green grass, frothy ice cream, and warm hands on his back. And he explained what he means when he licks someone’s ankles.
⠀
This is Peanut’s full SEE HEAR LOVE film: his portrait, his words, and his story. Which part stayed with you?

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™.

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.
