Shay popped on to my radar a few years ago, and was one of those models I saw and immediately said, “I have to shoot this girl.” The first thing we ever shot together was an awesome Lolita-esque set I did for Babeology’s Valentine’s Day edition. From the moment I snapped my first frame of her, I was in photo love.
You hear the expression “The camera loves her” thrown around a lot, but with Shay, it’s absolutely true. She doesn’t take bad photos and she moves comfortably between sexy, innocent, fun, even goofy, and stays beautiful no matter what she’s doing. She’s got range! I suspect much of it comes from being a dancer, her first passion. She is so comfortable with and aware of her body, it translates into awesome poses and great expressions.
I’m not the first or only person to notice it. Shay has been working nonstop since she came on the scene, appearing in music videos, repping clothing lines and modeling for dozens of photographers. On TV, she’s appeared on everything from Entourage to NCIS to Nip/Tuck. She’s on T-shirts, all over the web, in your dreams. And now on iheartgirls.com, right where she belongs.

Shay “Beautifull” Maria.
This should be her legal name!

We definitely will!
holy moly! nice fotos, good job!

Thank you Hans! Appreciate the compliments!
Permission to be the dog Cherie?
Haha… well, I think Shay would have to be the one to permit that. After all, she’d be the one cuddling her puppy.
looking good love
Amazing what a difference a good pair of stockings make.
I do love hosiery… just not a lot of opportunity to shoot them.
Definitely the best set since Sara Brinsfield. Nice work.
Thank you! We should do a Sara x Shay collaboration. But some heads might explode so maybe not.
Cherie, what makes you think I haven’t tried those already. Lets just say, the outcomes were not pleasant.
Damn, I always dream about having a women like that in my bed. Unfortunately, it’s always only a dream. At least I’ll always have these pics.
You and me both XD
Thats actually not a bad idea
