The weather is starting to get warmer, and we’ll hit it up some more as BikiniTeam presents the gorgeous Catalina Elena as our April 2022 Model of the Month. Perfectly shot by filmmaker John Neyrot and captured by photographer Mike Prado at scenic Laguna Beach, this olive-skinned beauty is truly a sight to behold. 

“What a beautiful day it was for this shoot. it was a little on the cool side, but once we were in the sun, we all warmed up. Catalina was a joy to work with. She’s always smiling, looking super cute. The water sparkled behind her, which made for some great video,” John said. 

Catalina Elena is Romanian and was adopted from an orphanage in her home country before being raised in the United States. English is actually her second language. Hundreds of thousands of her fans should be thankful she was not left behind in that orphanage, or this voluptuous charmer may not have become the bikini and lingerie model that she is now.

With curves and muscles in all the right places, it is hard to believe that Catalina used to be overweight. With perseverance, hard work and a lot of time spent at the gym, this stunning woman was able to overcome it and become a fit and sexy lady with tons of positive energy. 

“Catalina was just as excited to be shooting with us as we were with her, and her energy definitely showed through in all her photos. It’s models like her that make the shoots so much fun and worth getting up at the crack of dawn for that early morning shoot. The photos turned out and amazing and you can definitely see a lot of her fun and energetic personality come through in them,” Mike shared. 

Admittedly a homebody, Catalina loves to cuddle at home with her rescue dog Lucy. Obviously a proud dog mom, she even created an Instagram account dedicated to Lucy. Catalina was just out for on her usual run when Lucy, who was a homeless stray then, approached her. And the rest, as they say, is history. The beloved pooch even accompanies her on her photoshoots. 

At present, Catalina spends most of her time at the gym while studying to for her certification in physical therapy. Be sure to follow her on her new Instagram account to get updated on what she’s up to and get a peek at her uber sexy photoshoots. 

Be amazed, watch and salivate as this brunette bombshell struts her stuff in barely-there bikinis. Catalina Elena is certainly well-deserving of the title Model of the Month.
