Freeze: Softball players channel ‘Frozen’ with Disney-inspired team photo

Usually, team photos involve wearing the uniform and smiling for the camera, but one team took a whole new approach on the traditional group shot.

A girls’ softball team in Oklahoma has attracted a lot of attention with their Disney-inspired team picture. Earlier this week, mom and photographer Betsy Gregory posted her photo on Facebook and it was instantly shared by thousands across the Internet, including celebrities like Zooey Deschanel.

The team is made up of four and five-year-old girls who dressed as Elsa from the Disney movie Frozen for their picture. In the cute photo, captured by Gregory, the girls are seen sporting blue dresses and making some serious tough girl faces. Gregory’s daughter is the catcher on the team, standing in the middle of the photo.

“What started as a little spark of imagination has turned into something much greater,” Gregory told The Huffington Post. “What a great memory this will be for these girls many years down the road!”

As a way for the girls to get excited about the sport, the moms came up with the idea of a Frozen-themed team. Originally they called themselves “Sparkling Elsas” but ended up changing the name to “Freeze” instead to make their softball team sound more intimidating, the online news outlet reports.

Besides all of the cuteness going on in the team photo, there’s also a strong meaning behind it. Gregory wanted to send a positive message for girls everywhere with her picture.

“We want the girls to be proud of who they are and feel empowered to take on this crazy world,” the photographer told The Huffington Post. As for the little girls, it’s clear they love their photo, too.
