As a very small country the Turks and Caicos has seen quite an impressive number of famous visitors from both past and present eras. The islands have also served as a backdrop to national and international films and photo shoots.

This week the unparalleled beaches of the Turks and Caicos Islands attracted Miss Bikini USA: Natalie Romano.

She is gorgeous, no doubt, What truly impressed me is her dedication, passion and commitment to achieve her goals. She is unstoppable! The Caribbean sun may have burned her perfect skin, but she never took a break, showed a sign a fatigue or looked less spectacular at any given moment. Even after having her hair washed by the waves and covered in sand, Miss Bikini USA looked like she just came out of the hairdresser!

“The beach suits me“, Natalie said, and we completely agree.

On board of Island Vibes catamaran, we cruised the crystal clear water of Grace Bay heading to Little Water Cay, also known as Iguana Island.

The first swimsuit chosen by Miss Bikini USA could not have been more appropriate: a sexy boho shell crochet triangle bikini set. The local mermaids have competition!

The indigenous rock iguanas spotted our presence and came by for a visit. “Miss Bikini USA is the house! Let’s get a picture together!” 🙂

Beautiful inside and out may sound cliqué but it perfectly describes Natalie. Every time she smiles (and what a smile!) her warm personality embraces you.

A quick change of swimwear (this is my favourite) and Miss Bikini USA is ready to rock, modeling on top of the boat.

Natalie is hoping that her title will open a few doors in the modeling and cinematographic world. As I type this words, her beautiful face and fantastic body is featured on the cover of Maxime New Zealand, You go girl! This is just the beginning.

I feel so privileged to have had the opportunity to photograph this stunning girl and I truly hope to welcome Natalie back to the Turks and Caicos soon. Perhaps for the next Victoria Secret photoshoot? Or Sport Illustrated’s?

No matter the brand let’s make sure the model picks the photographer, me 😉
