The Charlotte Honey Bees have an amazing squad of beautiful and talented dancers…perhaps the most beautiful squad in professional sports. And I always try to avail myself of the opportunity to photograph as many of them as possible. So let me introduce our first Honey Bee Kat, a 2016 P-R-O Convention All Star.

Our next 2016 P-R-O Convention All Star hails from the Houston Texans Cheerleaders. They brought their usual large contingent of cheerleaders to P-R-O and I made it a point to feature as many of them as I could. And one of them that caught my attention was a perky blonde named Megan. She was amenable to posing for a few photos and, in fact, she was my first cheerleader that I asked to pose at this year’s convention. So without further ado, presenting our newest 2016 P-R-O Convention All Star…Megan.

The P-R-O Convention in Atlanta is the premier professional cheerleading convention and attracts the very best professional cheerleaders and choreographers in the nation.  Squads from the NFL, NBA, NHL, and minor league baseball gathered in Atlanta for a fun filled weekend of dance, team building and networking.

One of my favorite squads to photograph at P-R-O is the Washington Redskins Cheerleaders. They have some of the most beautiful girls in the NFL and they wear the most glamorous and sexy uniforms in all of professional cheerleading. Our next 2016 P-R-O Convention All Star is from Kobe, Japan and a four year veteran of the First Ladies of Football, introducing Masako.

More amazing cheerleaders from the 2016 P-R-O Convention coming soon!

2016 marked the return of the Seattle Sea Gals to the P-R-O Convention after a one year absence and every time I see them, I make a point of photographing these girls.  The Sea Gals have a unique look and they provide a nice compliment to the many eastern dance teams that attend this convention.  So let’s take a closer look as we feature Sea Gal Christian, our next 2016 P-R-O Convention All Star.

Autumn is my favorite time of the year.  The hot temperatures of summer give way to the cool, crisp air of fall.  My favorite non-Christmas holiday, Halloween, occurs during this time.  Fall also marks the return of football and basketball and, correspondingly, the return of NFL and NBA cheerleaders, those lovely ladies who provide a bit of beauty and glamour at these mostly masculine  sporting events.

And if fall is “showtime” for these beautiful and talented performers, it is summertime that dance routines are learned, teams bond and performances are refined. Individuals mesh together for a common purpose to form those perfectly synchronized, beautifully presented professional dance teams that we have come to love.  They will entertain us, captivate us, and mesmerize us.  And they will become Legends of the Fall.

One of the best things about covering this event is that I get to meet a lot of new dance talent and one of the new girls that left a lasting impression was a San Antonio Spurs Silver Dancer named Erika. She’s a great dancer to be sure, but when I got her in front of the camera, she really sizzled. She was one of the most photogenic cheerleaders at P-R-O and she is our next 2016 P-R-O Convention All Star.

Our next 2016 P-R-O Convention All Star is a cheerleader that I first met a few years ago while covering the Arizona Cardinals Cheerleaders auditions and she was one of a group of former Utah Jazz dancers who made their way to Phoenix to try out for the Cardinals. As it would happen, all of them would make the team and one of them stood out for her girl next door looks and amazing dance talent. Her name is Alexandria and she is our next 2016 P-R-O Convention All Star.

The Houston Texans brought a large number of cheerleaders to the 2016 P-R-O Convention in Atlanta and I wanted to feature as many of them as I could because they are an amazing squad. And one of these girls was one who I have featured in the prior years. Tall, statuesque and gorgeous, our next 2016 P-R-O Convention All Star is Houston Texans Cheerleader Lesha.
