Alyssa Miller was photographed by James Macari in Desroches Island, Seychelles.

Three-time SI Swimsuit model Alyssa Miller is the queen of rocking the perfect summery sun-kissed glow. She looked absolutely stunning and sculpted in each of her features with the brand, beginning with her debut in 2011, when she starred in three separate photo shoots. 

Miller posed on the beaches of Fiji and Maui, Hawai’i, where she was captured by Walter Iooss Jr. and Bjorn Iooss, respectively, and also participated in a marvelous New York City in-studio bodypainting project with Stewart Shining and artist Joanne Gair.

The California native returned to the fold in 2012, when she traveled to Desroches Island, Seychelles, with James Macari. She reunited with the very same photographer again the following year, this time in Hayman Island, Australia.

“Self-love for me has to do with acceptance. I have to accept everything about myself and if there is anything I can’t, I change it. If you change the internal conversation, you start to change the way you feel about yourself very quickly,” Miller said about learning to appreciate her body while navigating the tricky modeling industry. “I hear so many women talk so negatively about their bodies and it’s so useless. We tell ourselves and everyone who will listen how much we dislike ourselves. Don’t get me wrong, there have been and will be many more shoots where I feel anxious about my body or my skin not being perfect, and I would look at myself in the mirror with love and acceptance and tell myself I looked great and it would actually make me feel better. I would step onto set with that much more confidence, because nothing is more empowering than accepting where you are and loving it.”

Below are six beautiful pics from Miller’s sophomore SI Swimsuit photo shoot from Desroches Island, Seychelles.
