When Katrina Scott first posed for the SI Swimsuit Issue in 2021, she traveled to Tampa, Fla., with photographer Yu Tsai. She made such an incredible impression in the Sunshine State that Scott was then named the magazine’s Rookie of the Year.

The content creator and podcast host returned to the fold the following year, and she became the first visually pregnant woman to pose for the publication in its history. She traveled to St. Croix in the U.S. Virgin Islands, where she was photographed by Derek Kettela while seven months pregnant.

“I hope to make her feel like she is also worthy of her dreams because I’ve been in the position of not feeling worthy. I hope that she smiles and sees herself and my heart in this issue—two hearts,” Scott told us of sharing the experience with her daughter. “I’ve never felt more beautiful than on this trip, in photos, just holding her. I want her to know that. I just feel like this is a total SI baby. She was kicking all day. I think she was really into it. These pictures will be forever part of our family. I am forever grateful for that.”

Today, Scott and her husband, Brian, are the proud parents of two. The couple share daughters Isabelle (Bella) and Colette, the latter of whom they welcomed just after the 2022 SI Swimsuit Issue was released last May.

Below, we’re throwing it back to a few of our favorite snapshots from last year’s feature in St. Croix.
