The Hulet family is near and dear to my heart. I've been able to get to know them over the years as they have welcomed my little sis into their family. I love them and I feel kinda bad for the times when we jokingly decided to monopolize my sister's family when they were in town so we wouldn't have to share them with the Hulets.
This amazing family invited me into their home to photograph them for a day. And I can see why my sister didn't want us to monopolize her time. Being around them feels like home and like my own family, just not as loud and obnoxious. As in many families, it is clear the heart of the Hulet family is Mom, Grandma, and Wife, Renon, and the reason for my being asked to photograph the Hulets. Renon was diagnosed with cancer last year. It's hard to put words to all of my feelings about Renon at the moment... I have seen her touch so many lives beyond just my sister's and I want to share all of the things about her... But that is just too much. So here is my short sweet version. She is charismatic, outgoing, fun, caring, artistic, creative, talented, confident, generous, and loving. And I am in awe by her strength and courage and the positive attitude and faith she has maintained through all she has faced and endured. She has loved my sister like her own daughter. I loved watching her embrace each of her grandchildren with open arms and heart. And her own children are an extension of all that is good in her. It was such an honor to photograph her and her beautiful family.
