A few weeks back, I had the pleasure of driving over to Phillipsburg Montana to photograph her family portrait photographic experience. 

Months back while traveling en route to Mexico, I met and struck up a conversation with Robi in the Missoula airport. 

We talked about her life, what she loved about each of her children and how fast they seemed to grow up. She wanted to celebrate each of them in this time of their lives. 

While they live in Washington, as it turns out, she grew up spending her summers in MT and wanted to celebrate her upcoming family vacation with her two kids to the family ranch in Phillipsburg, Montana. 

We explored the rolling grass hills of her ranch making fun portraits and candid photos of her kids being themselves. Despite both of them not feeling well, I was able to tease out some smiles and create some great, meaningful photographs for them.

Here are some of my favorite photographs from our Phillipsburg Montana family portrait photographic experience together. -M
