Sprouting Photographer Podcast and Workshop Info!

I’m so honored to be featured on the incredibly informative podcast for photographers, the Sprouting Photographer.  The Sprouting Photographer podcast is a weekly podcast interviewing industry experts and business specialists who share high-value, no-fluff, concrete business ideas for professional photographers, and it was named the Best of iTunes, so being a part of it is so rewarding!  After teaching photojournalism for over a decade, I can talk about photography all day, so with host, Bryan Caporicci, we truly had a great discussion on how photographers can stand out in their field and market themselves to their perfect clients.  Here is some of what we talked about!

Sprouting Photographer Podcast Discussion with Candice C. Cusic:

  • Focus on capturing moments instead of obsessively posing your clients like you may see in popular blogs
  • Remember that your responsibility it to photograph real people in big moments of their lives while still making it a fun process for you
  • Make yourself stand out among the sea of photographers and differentiate your work.
  • Delegate the key shots to someone you trust so you can get more creative in the field.
  • Be wary of “creative suicide” and get inspired by your unique surroundings whenever possible.
  • Utilize your best and favorite work on your website so you attract the ideal clients.
  • Educate your clients prior to their big event so they know they don’t have to smile to the camera all the time.
  • Create experiences that will produce the best shots for your clients.
  • Making your clients comfortable so they are able to let you be a fly on the wall.
  • The best way to make money quickly is to produce standout photography.

    Chicago Pet Photographer

    Get ready with me—Chicago pet photographer & animal communicator edition.

My mornings start with movement, intention—and coffee.Because every day, I show up for animals.The ones waiting for a home.And the ones already part of your family.

This is how I begin.With purpose. With heart.And a whole lot of love for the animals who trust me to tell their story.

Giving animals a voice—through connection and story.

    “Did she wait for me before she passed?”
It’s one of the most heart-wrenching questions I receive.
And often, the answer brings unexpected peace.
As an animal communicator in Chicago, I help grieving pet parents reconnect—because love doesn’t disappear. It evolves.

    No fake smiles. No awkward posing. Just real moments, beautifully captured.
At Candice C. Cusic Photography, we believe your family portraits should feel like you—not like a chore. Let your kids be kids, laugh out loud, and make memories while I quietly capture the love in between.

    The shoot ➡️ the shot. 🎬✨
Behind every perfect pet portrait is a little chaos, a lot of love, and some serious magic.

    It’s not bad behavior. It’s communication.
Hiding, biting, avoiding affection—your cat might be trying to tell you something.
In a session, I translate the “why” behind their actions so you can respond with confidence and compassion.
