meet your photographer

Behind the Lens

about me

I'm kailah

Two years ago I lost my grandma. It wasn't exactly sudden - but just months before she'd been told she was in remission. That summer before, we went camping with her - her favorite thing to do.

The joy and relief we all felt on that day was so palpable. My grandma never let on when she was scared, or worried - but I knew that after this second battle with breast cancer she felt so strong.

And then the holidays came, but instead of joy we were met with an unbelievable revelation.

Within weeks, I watched that beautiful light inside her fade. But on one of her last days, she asked for us all for one thing: a photo. With all of us. Together.

It was the hardest thing I've ever done, but I am so grateful for that photo. And now I get to be the keeper of your memories, too.

sometimes pictures are all we have

we were celebrating the end of her cancer journey.

the cancer had spread and we had to accept it.
