2026 Esperanza Cheer Photo Day

One from the beginning of the year. I don’t know how many girls are still on the team from when I shot them in 2024, but this was a much different vibe. Archie and I arrived at Peralta Park and we found a good spot with plenty of shade that the sun wouldn’t change much from the time we set up to the time we actually took the first team photo. The girls took a little while to get powdered and ready, but we were good with that. We did Varsity then a program shot followed by JV. After the group shots I set up just to the side of that spot and took individuals. The girls nailed the poses and it was a lot less structured than 2024 and I feel we got much better (genuine) smiles this time around. We did a few buddy poses and then shut it down. I’m shooting the football team all season so there will be plenty of these girls in action as we go forward. Here is the 2026 Esperanza Cheer Gallery (CLICK). B
