Silvana’s a glowing beauty in her beach maternity session

Nearing the 8-month mark, Silvana looked more radiant during her maternity session at Hollywood beach than I’ve seen her.  Some call it “the glow,” and I see why. She was simply radiant, the energy of love and confidence emanating from her like rays from the sun.

A friend of a friend, I’ve had the pleasure of getting to know this lovely lady over the last few years through various events, one of them being the wedding of our dear friend Augustina Diez Sierra in her home town of Salta, Argentina. It was so wonderful and special to be able to take in this far away land through the eyes of these two Saltanos.  No matter how far Silvana or Augustina is from home, they embrace their Latin roots.  For example, I’ve heard dozens of times just how glamorous the “ladies of Salta” are, and during her maternity session, Sil lived up to this notion.  She embraced her femininity fully, moving with poise and grace (in heels) over sand, concrete steps, and even into the cool waters (without the heels) of lake Michigan.

It was beautiful to watch Silvana connect with her baby boy. Though I have no children of my own, I can tell this is an intensely emotional time, an experience that happens for many only a few instances in life. I could feel the love flowing toward her unborn son as she forgot about my camera and turned her attention inward.

Thank you, Sil for being so open with such an intimate experience.  I can’t wait to meet your little one!
