Candice C. Cusic Pet Photography - Chicago, IL

Member since Nov 2020

As a passionate pet photographer with over thirty years of experience, I specialize in capturing candid, moment-driven photographs of your beloved pets and family. I believe that photo sessions should be fun and authentic, not stiff and boring. My dedication to my craft has earned me the title of Best Pet Photographer in Chicago, a testament to the joy and creativity I bring to every shoot. Located in the vibrant West Town neighborhood, just 15 minutes from downtown Chicago, I work by appointment only to ensure each session is tailored to your unique needs.

I service a diverse range of animals, including dogs, cats, birds, guinea pigs, rabbits, and even exotic pets like lizards and snakes. My extensive experience with various species allows me to create comfortable environments where your pets can shine. Whether you have a playful puppy or a shy rabbit, I understand how to bring out their personality and capture those precious moments. While I do not offer mobile services, I focus on creating unforgettable experiences in my studio, ensuring a stress-free environment for you and your furry friends.

Ready to create stunning memories that you’ll cherish forever? Let’s celebrate the unique bond you share with your pets through captivating photography. Book me through Petworks today and let’s make your pet’s personality shine!
