April 2011 in the United States Virgin Islands
Below are a bunch of photos from our April 2nd to 10th project on ST Thomas, U. S. Virgin Islands. Overall the trip was a ton of fun. We got lots of work done the first few days and had the last 3 days to play around and have some fun times.We rented a great water front house for the week. 5 bedrooms, pool, hot tub, right on the water with an awesome view. Take a look at all the fun we had. Hopefully you'll be able to join us next time!

I love this photo -- On the left is the 1st TrueTeenBabes model Jennifer Mondial from Colorado and the 171st TrueTeenBabes model Tessa Nicole from Florida. Jennifer's first photo shoot was 10 years ago at our Colorado studio (January 2001). Tessa's first shoot was in October 2010 at our Florida studio. It was cool to have the first model with us all week.
Some of the work started the very first night. A video production guy was along on the trip to produce a Blu-ray and DVD of the project. This is them practicing an interview with Tessa while Jennifer watches.
Here are a few images of us working with Tessa. Work started at sunrise. Look at the 1st shot and you'll see the video guy already recording as they get her ready.
Here are a couple of photos from that long day of photo and video work.
Right after that long day Tessa was chatting live online with fans from all over the USA. The event was broadcast from poolside to all over the world. Fans can see her and get to type questions that she answers from the laptop.
We also had two brand new models with us. Brooke and Danielle are both from Florida and it was their first trip to ST Thomas, and first time working with us.
After the work was done in the first few days the girls spent the rest of our time on ST. Thomas playing around. Thursday included a 3 hour kayak and snorkle tour around a local nature sanctuary. They took off in kayaks, paddle across the bay to a small island, then walk around it a bit, before snorkling with cool fish and even stingrays! Its both fun and educational. Here are a bunch of photos.
From left to right this group is make-up girl Danielle, Tessa Nicole (16), Kara Hart (25th TrueTeenBabes model), new model Danielle (16), Jennifer (very first TrueTeenBabes model) and new model Brooke (13). The next photo is the same group later on the tour while being splashed!
Next it was time for some snorkling with cool fish and a stingray!
The next day the girls all went out on a boat to the next island of ST John to explorer the beaches. You'll notice Spring Ann in these photos. She was the 159th TrueTeenBabes model and came down from Florida after class Thursday to hang out with the girls for the last 3 days of the trip. The guy in the white shirt was the guide and I'm told they pretty much drove him nuts all day!
The last full day ended with us all at this cool place called "Latitude 18". Great food, people and music right on the water. One of the funnest parts is the iguanas! No kidding -- there are iguanas walking around like cats and eating out of your hands. Its scary for the first minute or two but then starts to seem normal. Notice the one on the ground nibbling on Tessa's knee.
