Kadence | Senior

We’ve known Kadence since she was a little girl, and it was such a gift to capture her senior portraits. She is gracious, gentle, and truly beautiful inside and out, and was willing to float in freezing water in her dress without hesitation 🤍

Desperada - Photography & Design was honored to capture history in the making as Galena unveils its breathtaking new arch over Route 66!
Standing 100 feet across, this one-of-a-kind landmark shines as the road prepares for a century of stories.
A special thank you to former Galena Mayor Dale Oglesby for the vision that made this possible, and for letting us be part of this moment!
