My Latest Swimwear Collection

My cousins and I have been camping every summer since we were babies. There have been countless photo shoots and movies made on these vacations. You could say, we have been prepping for this shoot our whole lives!!!!!

Pinecrest 2008

Tahoe Meadows 2005

Bass Lake 2007

Angie, Arin, Kristin and I have been doing this for a long time.

Here we are at Tahoe the summer of 2010 rockin' the hippest swimsuits of the time.
(Back when we shopped at Zumies, Pac Sun and Macy's)

My dad shot these mock magazine covers
at my Grandparent's house in Alamo, CA.
This glamorous shot was taken when we were all in High school.

Now! On to the shoot!

My friend gave me a pair of her old jeans, the rest is History!

I love 60's swimwear so opted for that old school, bombshell, earthy direction when draping this collection.

My cousin Angie floating right off this dock!

My cousin Kristin, gazing into her prosperous future.

This is the most hilarious but also epic photo of this shoot. My brother's hair is naturally coiled to perfection, he's rocking Ashely Cousin Art's beautiful up-cycled vinyl jewelry,
and he agreed to model Casually Uncommon's denim speedo
WITH NO HESITATION!
A fabulous brother indeed!

The youngest of all of us!
Peter Bustamante is 17.
And he modeled so naturally is was frightening!

And the most surprising model of the day.
Our seemingly quiet cousin,
Matt Bustamante unleashed
full force fierceness
upon the entire lake!

Butt Cheek Rant

Alright fine! I did photoshop my left butt cheek to be as full as the right one. I spent a total of 8 hours editing the lighting and then touching us all up on photoshop. I corrected the lighting for these on my dad's computer and exported them too small. So, the larger files were lost and I had to go back and edit it all over again. Meanwhile my laptop has decided it won't read files connected from USB anymore. So we had to put all the filed on a DVD so I could edit them at home. This was very tricky lighting to edit, because our camera was on a setting where it would switch between extremely over, and dramatically under exposed every three photos. Quite challenging indeed.

Anyways! My buns tanned nicely this weekend and my brother and I shot this shoot ourselves, and my gorgeous cousins modeled these designs effortlessly. It has been a blessing to have my family so closely connected to the fruition of my dreams. I can't express my gratitude to them enough. Truly beautiful souls.
