These exclusive Heidi Jo Medina photos were captured in the Caribbean during the Swimsuit USA International model search as part of our CaribTour 2016. Our host venue in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic was the spectacular Hard Rock Hotel & Casino. Heidi Jo was in the Caribbean to compete as a finalist in the Swimsuit USA International model search. We spotted Medina and knew immediately she was the girl for us. This location offered up some of the best photographic backdrops we could ask for. Beautiful beaches, amazing pools and lush gardens made for some really cool settings to shoot this Alabama native.

We asked Heidi Jo to give us some exclusive tidbits of information about herself that we could share exclusively with our followers. We were pleasantly surprised to find out some of what she shared. She’s an avid Star Wars fan who loves to chill with her puppy Chewbacca and have movie marathons. As a cosplayer and on-air host, she had the opportunity to interview Boba Fett which she says was the coolest thing ever.

Medina’s ultimate goal is to launch her website MsFitHeidiJo.com to inspire and motivate women of all ages to lead a healthy, sustainable life. She plans to include healthy but very southern comfort food recipes, plans, workouts, and her own fitness and bikini line.

She tells us “working with BikiniTeam was an amazing experience. I loved working with such awesome professionals that were also a load of fun to be around. Pictures are great but having video of me having a blast at one of the most respected competitions will stay close to my heart. I’m so blessed to have had this opportunity and it will be great to look back at as I age (and no longer look like this)…”
