"Mary, Mary"

The lovely and fun Mary. I photographed her a couple a weeks ago during the Sol Beso shoot.

I'll be working with her in the future to do some more modeling shots. Mary was extremely easy going and easy to work with. A natural in front of the camera.

On another note I have to mention that whenever I say the name Mary or think about the photo shoot I had with Mary I automatically start singing the lyrics "Mary, Mary...why ya buggin? Mary, Mary...I need ya huggin" (hope one gets the reference) Music really is the soundtrack to our lives.

Sol Beso

Its been awhile since I last posted something and I've been looking forward to post my new work I've done for Sol Beso.

Sol Beso is a mobile spray tanning business. I've been asked to take some beachy looking shots, as well as before and after shots of the amazing spray tanning. I'm also helping in the designing of the website that should be up and running in a couple of weeks. All very exciting.

These are a few of my favorite shots I did for Sol Beso. Both Julie and Mary were great to work with and so was the owner Lisa. I did another shoot with both Julie and Mary of which I will be posting in the next coming weeks. To see more of my favorite shots check out my fanpage on facebook.

I'll of course will announce when the Sol Beso website is up so you can see the final outcome. So if you don't want to look pasty white and instead you wanna look like you've been "sun kissed" check out Sol Beso.

Music Artist

This is someone wise beyond his years. A fellow artist who loves to create and appreciates those who create and share any love for art. This was someone who started out as a client and became a very good friend of mine.

A couple of weeks ago I photographed Louis a.ka. Lou a.k.a Sylo a.k.a SY Stone. He is an up and coming Hip Hop artist who needed promotional photos for his website, myspace, etc. There are more shoots to come which Im very excited about, especially going into the recording studio. Here are some of my favorite shots from that day. To view more please visit and become a fan on Facebook.

I've heard some of his music and am psyched to hear the finished album due to come out late in June. I'm extremely proud of my friend and I can't wait to continue working with him.

AMADO

So awhile ago, but not so long ago, but once a upon a time ago, when there was some snow on the ground, I photographed Amado.

Amado is here visiting our planet earth. Along with his fun and quirky personality he brings us some great music that will make us smile and dance.

This of course is a character. A unique, different and out of this world kind of character. Photographing a character like Amado for his fun music was extremely enjoyable. I heard a cut of his song "kiss and tell" and I for sure was bouncing in my seat. I'm looking forward to hearing more of his music and working together with him again.

Here are just a few of my favorite shots and to view more silly photos check out my fanpage on Facebook.

Carolina for Kasachi

A couple of weeks ago I photographed Carolina for Kasachi. She was a lot of fun to photograph. A natural in front of the camera and very easy to work with.

Here she is wearing the "I am Fashion" t-shirt and a shirt from the "chains and roses collection"

Im proud to say I am the owner of the "I am Fashion" t-shirt in black. Looks great with jeans. To see more from Kasachi visit the site here.

Vaughan and Olivia

About two weeks ago I had the pleasure of photographing two beautiful sisters. I had photographed Vaughan last year for the fashion line Kasachi. This time around I photographed both her and her gorgeous sister Olivia to help update their modeling portfolio.

It was a laid back shoot that was lots of fun. Both are so great and easy to work with. Both are stunning and extremely talented. Both are amazing violin players. I was lucky enough to hear them play.

Here are just a few of my favorite photographs from that day. To see some more check out the Maria Silva Photography fanpage on Facebook and become a fan.

I want to say thanks to both Olivia and Vaughan for a wonderful time and for the pretty music you played. Hope to work with you both again.
