Ultimate Cheerleaders

Our next 2018 P-R-O Convention All Star is from San Diego and a two year member of the Arizona Cardinals Cheerleaders.   When I first saw her a couple years ago at the Arizona Cardinals Cheerleaders auditions, she reminded me of a young, blonde Demi Moore.  She is another one of those cheerleaders who is beautiful, talented and photogenic…aren’t they all!  Introducing Arizona Cardinals Cheerleader Coley…our newest 2018 P-R-O Convention All Star.

“To dance is to be out of yourself. Larger, more beautiful, more powerful.. This is power, it is glory on earth and it is yours for the taking”― Agnes De Mille

This is the fifteenth year that the P-R-O Convention has been providing usable choreography to professional cheerleaders and dancers.  Few such business endeavors endure that test of time and that is testament to the people behind this effort and the nature of the service they provide.  I think it is because of their love of dance and their passion that this convention has endured so long.

I have been coming to this event since 2010 and every year, I challenge myself to get the best images that I am able and to capture the spirit of the dancers and choreographers that make this event special.  It is grueling work, but it is my passion that makes me strive to be the best I can be with respect to documenting this wonderful event and it is this desire that keeps me coming back each year for more…nine years and counting.

The P-R-O Convention is the premier professional cheerleading convention and over 250 dancers from all over the country gathered in Atlanta, Georgia for two days of intensive dance training and team building.  This year, we celebrate the 15th year anniversary of the P-R-O Convention.  And if you weren’t in Atlanta, keep on reading to see what it is like to be a part of this wonderful event.

One of my absolute favorite dance teams to photograph at P-R-O is the Charlotte Honey Bees. There are, as I have said before, arguably the hottest dance team in all of professional sports and this year, they have some amazingly beautiful and photogenic dancers. And our next 2018 P-R-O Convention All Star is a veteran Honey Bee and a former Charlotte Panther TopCat named Lauren. She is a great dancer and remarkably photogenic. So without further ado, introducing Honey Bee Lauren, a 2018 P-R-O Convention All Star.

The Tennessee Titans Cheerleaders are one of my favorite squads to photograph and this year they brought an impressive contingent of girls.  And one of the freshest faces at this year’s convention was a second year Titans Cheerleader named JoJo, our next 2018 P-R-O Convention All Star.  She kind of reminds me of the actress, Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio, who played Gina, the sister of Tony Montana in the 1983 movie Scarface.  Needless to say, that movie was a little bit before her time and we had to look it up on the internet so I could convey to her the resemblance, but it is a point well taken.  JoJo is quite photogenic and I appreciated that she changed into her game day uniform skirt for this photo session…something that made her session more special.

So let’s take a closer look at our next 2018 P-R-O Convention All Star…Tennessee Titans Cheerleader JoJo.
