Hannah Jeter is no stranger to the set of an SI Swimsuit photoshoot. In fact, between 2013 and ’17, she was what we might call a regular for the brand, posing for five consecutive years in that half a decade span.

In 2016, she made her fourth appearance in the annual issue, traveling to the Islands of Tahiti with photographer Yu Tsai for the feature. Having started modeling at the age of 14, she had a lot of experience under her belt by the time she took to the SI Swimsuit set. She was particularly fluent at the experience of it all when she headed to Tahiti, having graced the cover of the issue only the year before, in 2015.

And her talent in front of the lens was apparent. Nothing that the team or Yu Tsai asked of her was too big. The model even agreed to don a pair of black flippers and go snorkeling off of a boat.

Not only was the now 33-year-old a skilled model, but she was intimately familiar with the tropics and used to a life on the coast. Jeter was born and raised in St. Thomas, where she played competitive tennis on the Caribbean circuit, she told the team prior to her 2013 debut. She eventually gave up the sport to pursue modeling full-time, and has made the most of her career in the almost 20 years since being discovered.

Like all of her SI Swimsuit appearances, Jeter’s trip to Tahiti was certainly one for the books. Here are a few of her stunning photos from the tropical destination.
