Eli

So a week ago I photographed my dear friend Eli and her husband Felix. I had previously photographed them both for their wedding back in October. It had been awhile since I last saw them, so I wanted to photograph them both as a wedding gift to them. (I also took them out for some amazing pizza)

To see more of Felix's pictures and pictures of them together, check out my Fan Page on Facebook.

Here I wanted to show case some of my favorite photos I did of Eli. She was my main focus of the night and I had a great time photographing her. We did some experimenting as well with make-up, which I will be posting sometime down the line on facebook.

I want to say how grateful I am for Eli being such a close friend of mine. She is so supportive of my photography and she always makes me feel like a star. Im very lucky to know her and have her be my friend. I'm looking forward to future photo shoots, especially when her bundle of joy comes. She is going to be a great mommy and Felix is gonna be a great daddy. Both are such kind hearted, honest, and loving people.

Don't forget to become a fan of Maria Silva Photography on Facebook.

Hiya Chuck!

So over the holiday weeks of last year (can't believe how fast time has just flown by) I was house and dog sitting for family while they were away on vacation in Nicaragua.

Now chuck is a beagle. And who is the most famous beagle we know... Joe Cool a.k.a. Snoopy.

My little niece loves Charlie Brown and the cool and classic Snoopy (you can always find her watching "Its the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown") Surprisingly they didn't name their new puppy Snoopy, instead they named him after good old Charlie Brown. Or at least they named him after his nickname that Peppermint Patty gave him.

Chuck for being a six month old puppy was a really good doggy! He only messed up twice in the house out of the two and half weeks I was there watching the house. He had lots and lots of energy. He also had a lot of "love" to give...lets just say he loved to love my leg. At Christmas I brought him over my house and he got along great with my two dogs Maxwell and Jude.

Here are just a few shots I took of him. He did very good in front of the camera... he was curious and a bit scared at times, but over all, a natural in front of the camera.

I miss his floppy ears.
