Hey Renee and Elisha, this is your first-ever photo shoot for us. Why did you decide to do MAXIM?

ELISHA: We have been talking with MAXIM for over a year now and have been building the excitement up!

RENEE: When MAXIM sent us the mood board for the shoot it got us so excited because of how much it suited us. We absolutely love MAXIM and we are in our bikinis 24/7, so it definitely fits our vibe.

Well, you both look stunning. When do you feel your sexiest?

E: It’s hard to think of yourself as sexy most of the time but I think when you really let go of all the self-consciousness and feel more confident in yourself it just flows and you build it up more and more. It helps a lot to have amazing makeup artists, photographers, and creative directors helping you feel your absolute best. So, I guess I’d feel my “sexist” on a shoot where I’m all done up and coming out of my comfort zone.

R: Yeah, I feel most sexy when I’m in front of the camera. I’m just totally feeling myself and it’s like I’m being my most confident self. Then as soon as the cameras are off I’m back to being normal.

What is your best asset?

E: It’s hard to decide what your best asset is — I guess if I asked people around me they’d all say different things but I think it would probably be my everyday passion for life and to live impulsively.

R: My best asset would probably be how easygoing I am.
