What we’ve been up to! Puppy Yoga and the Rainbow Rescue Project- Chicago Pet Photography Studio

This summer has been flying by! Now that the Dog Days have officially arrived for all of us lovely Chicagoans, we wanted to take a minute to look back at the last month- its been a busy one!

We started out the month with a Pride inspired idea:

The Rainbow Rescue Project.

Chicago pet photographer rescue dogs in pride outfits

In June of 2023, the team at Candice C. Cusic Photography came together to celebrate Pride month and support the LGBTQIA+ community. Our aim was to increase visibility and recognition for our LGBTQIA+ friends, family, and loved ones in a unique and impactful way. Thus, we embarked on a project that had never been done before.

Working in collaboration with Chicago Canine Rescue and Perfectly Posh Paws, we photographed over twenty adoptable dogs. These photos served as the foundation for a Pride flag, and we titled this special endeavor the Rainbow Rescue Project.

Check out our behind the scenes video from the project on our Instagram

 

To follow that up we tried something else completely new…

 

Puppy Yoga!

Our most recent event, Puppy Yoga, was an absolute delight for both yogis and pet lovers alike. Participants enjoyed a rejuvenating yoga session while surrounded by adorable adoptable puppies. It was a truly heartwarming experience witnessing the joy and relaxation that unfolded as these furry yogis joined us on the mats. We would like to express our sincere gratitude to all who attended and made this event a resounding success.

We partnered with @Chicago Canine Rescue and held our first Puppy Yoga with adoptable puppies!!! Stay tuned to see more and how you can join in the next one! #chicago

    From the shoot to the moment it comes together.

    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. 🐷❤️
