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.

You can see more photos from my photo shoot with Carolina on Facebook and become a fan.

I wanna thank Kasachi and Carolina for the many laughs during the shoot. Both of you were lovely and great to work with.

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.

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.

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.
