Cheer · Dance · Competition photography
Every athlete. Every routine. Free photos.
While you watch the action, we capture the moments.
We photograph cheer and dance competitions across the country and give every photo to athletes and families at no cost. Most teams see their web-ready photos within a couple of hours of competing.
Continuing our partnership
For over 15 years, Action Moments has been the photography partner with the International Cheerleading Union and with The Cheerleading WORLDS and The Dance WORLDS. In 2027 we continue both partnerships: at The Cheerleading Worlds and The Dance Worlds, and at the ICU’s Junior World & World Cheerleading Championships, IASF Worlds and the International Cheerleading Cup.
