Ah Worlds 2018 was SO FUN! I love being in Florida so much, and what an adventure this was!

Last year I came to Orlando with a media team and it was a really unique experience to work for someone, and it was cool because 2017 was my first year at Worlds without my sister being in cheer still. I knew this year in 2018 I wanted to come back on my own so I could do shoots on my own with my personal business style and schedule!

It’s hard to describe how much fun this was, ah it’s crazy. If you would have told me when I opened my business that I’d get to experience Worlds shooting action for Everything Cheer Magazine three years then go on to do THIS, I don’t know if I would have believed you, haha. I’m so grateful for everyone who connected these few days in Orlando to let me capture memories from the most exciting competition of the season. It was so fun creating in so many different places, and I’m really proud to have organized all of these shoots! Everything came together so well and it was seriously the most fun time ever. :)

I flew in on Wednesday and got to visit with my friend Jen of Front Row Photos (@frontrowcheerphotos on instagram!) that night which was really awesome. She’s the nicest and she’s shooting action for FloCheer this year at Worlds! Follow @flocheer too for more of her photos :)

The first shoot of Orlando was with these cute sisters on Oregon Dream Teams! My mom owns an apparel company and did bling for their gym way in the beginning. Their mom owns the gym and it was so fun doing pictures together because they’re more like family friends.

It was so fun meeting Mollie! It’s always so awesome to shoot with athletes from big name teams. F5 is one of my all-time favorites, especially after being in the stadium to capture their World Champion award moment in 2016. :) She’s the sweetest and so beautiful!

I got to meet Emma next, and she was seriously so much fun! Her and her mom kept making me laugh and she was the cutest to shoot. I loved her energy.

The next day had some of my favorite shoots! I got to ESPN a bit early to check out the area (with the beautiful new arena!) before everything started. It was really crazy to see it completely empty, I was the first person there that morning aside from the event staff haha.

Peyton cheers with DSE, the gym where my sister cheered! I have known her since she was a little cutie on the prep teams and it’s been really cool to watch her grow into such a beautiful girl and cheerleader :) She’s one of my favorites to watch perform and I was so excited she wanted pictures in Orlando. It’s always so awesome to see Arizona friends in Florida!

Hunter’s shoot was one I was most looking forward to this trip because her mom had all of these fun ideas! She sent me a bunch of Inso before we met in Orlando. It was super styled, and we got to be really creative. Hunter had her mom’s old prom dress and the cuuutest looks. I loved all of the scenery and having such a great time with them. It was so great seeing them after shooting with Hunter here last year! :)

Seeing all of these girls again was just the best! We did a team photoshoot in Dallas this past February, and it was like 30 degrees haha so being in sunny Orlando was definitely a different vibe. It was so fun shooting with all of the colors of the Allstar Sports Resort! They’re all seriously the nicest. :)

Once all of my shoots were done I hung out at the Allstar Sports a bit to watch some of the teams practicing! I love watching everyone on the football field, it is such a feeling of being at Worlds.

Okay, shooting with Inferno from Utah Fusion was the absolute best! I don’t think I have ever worked with a team so appreciative and kind. Every athlete and coach interacted so genuinely with me and I loved meeting all of them. It was really fun too because since Inferno is in the same division as DSE Rage that my sister cheered on, I recognized some of the athletes and got to tell them how happy I was when they got their bid at JAMZ in 2017!

Kenzie was my last shoot of Worlds, and I loved shooting with her! She’s the nicest and Panthers went on to win Worlds 2018!! She’s going to be cheering at Texas Tech next year and I’m super excited her.

Here are some more action shots I got in between shoots! Feel free to repost on instagram :) please tag me @snappedbybeccaclark so I can see your favorites!
