Today I transform myself into a plus size swimsuit model inspired by the infamous Sports Illustrated Swim magazine. Come with me as I fly to LA, shoot with one of Sports Illustrated's own photographers, all in order to get the perfect plus size bikini model shot. We'll take you behind the scenes of the photo shoot and you'll get to see my genuine reaction to seeing the photos for the first time. Along the way I'm sharing tips and tricks on how to get the perfect beach photo. Whether you're pursuing Sports Illustrated or just want some fire vacation photos- I got you! It's a little bit of a plus size look book and a little bit of an adventure. Enjoy!
