This is my 10th year covering the annual P-R-O Convention in Atlanta. It is my favorite event of the year to cover because I get to photograph professional cheerleaders from all over the country and some from outside the US. It’s a wonderful experience and every year I get some memorable photographs.
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, minor league sports, and several college dance teams gathered in Atlanta for a fun filled weekend of dance, team building and networking.
