Our next honoree comes from Yokohama, Japan and she specifically came to the United States to cheer for the Atlanta Falcons.  So let’s meet Rie, our latest P-R-O Convention All Star.

We are not finished yet…we still have a few more talented cheerleaders to recognize.

If memory serves correct, it has been a few years since our next honoree was last at P-R-O. Back then, she caught my eye…the good ones do. And though the years may have passed, this year was like before…another memorable appearance. So let me introduce our next 2014 P-R-O Convention All Star, Minnesota Vikings Cheerleader Mollie.

The Wizard Girls brought nearly their entire squad, which was quite an accomplishment because their season had ended and their auditions were upcoming soon (actually, they’re going on right now!). I guess that’s the problem with the NBA team and the P-R-O convention…the timing can be an issue.

But the Wizard Girls always make a splash and it doesn’t hurt their their director, Derric Whitfield, is one of the most popular instructors. That means great dance routines and their squad members always help out with the instruction. And one of Derric’s Wizard Girl instructions caught my eye for her beauty, dance ability and emotion. She is our next 2014 P-R-O Convention All Star and her name is Emily T.

The Washington Redskins Cheerleaders are one of the squads that I look forward to photographing every year. They have some of the most beautiful cheerleaders in the NFL. They wear some of the sexiest uniforms in professional cheerleading. And they always bring some amazing dancers.

This year, I made it point to photograph their Captains and I think they brought three of them…at least there were three of them there when I asked for all the Captains to come up and be recognized. So, let me introduce our third WRC Captain, Charo…our next 2014 P-R-O Convention All Star.

Did I mention that the Tennessee Titans Cheerleaders brought a lot of girls?  And did I mention that they wore their game day uniforms?  And that I took advantage of this rarity and photographed as many of them as I could?

Well, I did and our next honoree was featured in one of our lead images for the 2012 P-R-O Convention coverage.

So this year, I got a chance to photograph her up close and personal. Introducing Tennessee Titans Cheerleader Anne P., our next 2014 P-R-O convention All Star.

The Seattle Sea Gals are one of my favorite squads to shoot at P-R-O and I usually make it a priority to get some quality time with their squad for these features. But this year, I was only able to shoot two of them…there’s just not enough time to shoot them everyone I want to, with all the sessions and events going on. I shall endeavor to better next year.

So let’s introduce our next Sea Gal…a third year veteran from my part of the woods, Southern California. Introducing Palos Verdes’ own Melissa, a 2014 P-R-O Convention All Star.

We still have a few more to go, so keep watching to see the best of the best.

The past couple of years, the Atlanta Falcons Cheerleaders have caught my eye. They’re kind of low key at P-R-O, hanging off to the side and trying to keep it on the down low. Stealth cheerleaders…hanging out in the shadows and wearing black. I mean there are other squads that gravitate to the center of the room for the group activities and there are some girls that naturally find their way towards the front…and they’re usually the most outgoing, confident and talented cheerleaders…just my observation. But the ones that like to hang back get my attention too. Its just that they’re harder to shoot…and nothing escapes my attention at P-R-O.

So our next 2014 P-R-O Convention All Star caught my eye last year and I got a couple of good shots of her. And this year, she caught my eye again and so I decide that I should feature her here. And I think its no coincidence because she is, from what I understand, a Captain this year. So without further ado, introducing Atlanta Falcons Cheerleader Alice, our next 2014 P-R-O Convention All Star.

See who joins Alice on this year’s list of P-R-O Convention All Stars!

I have been going to the Arizona Cardinals Cheerleaders auditions for several years now and its been a fun gig to shoot.  And since I’ve been going to P-R-O, they’ve been there as well.  So every time I go to Atlanta, I see them there and its like seeing a group of old friends.

I first saw our next honoree at their auditions and she was one of a group of three girls from Utah that tried out for the Cardinals Cheerleaders.  They were all former Utah Jazz dancers and they decided to come south and try their hand with the NFL.  Well they all made the squad, but only one of them was here in Atlanta.

And like in Phoenix at their auditions, our next honoree left a lasting impression.  So let us introduce rookie Arizona Cardinals Cheerleader Erica, our next 2014 P-R-O Convention All Star.

Each year, James and I meet so many beautiful and talented cheerleaders at P-R-O and it is our pleasure to recognize them here.  We have a few more to recognize, so please keep an eye out for our next 2014 P-R-O Convention All Star.

Our next honoree comes from the Lone Star state and she was one of many gorgeous Texans cheerleaders.  Many gorgeous Texans cheerleaders?  Yep…many…and you can hang your hat on it.   In fact, our next 2014 P-R-O Convention All Star is so pretty she’d make a man plow through a stump.  But enough of these colorful Texas sayings.  Let’s get on with the photos…introducing Libby, a 2014 P-R-O Convention All Star.
