Athlete and influencer Olivia Dunne traveled to Puerto Rico in January for her forthcoming SI Swimsuit Issue feature, where she was photographed by Ben Watts.

On Thursday, the shutterbug shared a few behind the scenes photos from Dunne’s editorial debut on Instagram. In the first snap, the 20-year-old LSU gymnast grinned for the camera while wearing a strappy black swimsuit.

She embraced her mom, Katherine, in one photo and was captured while wrapped up in a towel and grinning ear-to-ear in another. Watts also included a group snapshot with the Swim Team, and Dunne modeled a one-shouldered bikini in the final photo as she threw a fist out toward the camera lens.

“Bts story from @livvydunne x @si_swimsuit in new @people check it ….. here’s some snaps plus the crew,” the photographer wrote in his caption. He also shouted out the creative team, including SI Swimsuit editor in chief MJ Day and fashion editor Margot Zamet, as well as producer Cindi Blair, makeup artist Bryan Zaragoza and hairstylist Anthony Cristiano.
