Photos from a photo documentary
by Jennifer Keenan Giliberto
Earlier this year, Jennifer Keenan Giliberto, a professional photographer, focused her lens on a cancer journey. She captured gut-wrenchingly powerful moments inside a hospital as well as tender moments at home where a husband and wife hold hands and sip tea.
Giliberto felt a deep connection to the project with Josh and Jenna Buehler of Atlanta even before she snapped the first photograph. Giliberto was diagnosed with a brain tumor in 2007 and underwent surgery a year later.
