Short Bio:
Hi, I’m Phill Monson. I was born in Idaho Falls, ID, lived in Portland Oregon and Ireland for a few years, but call Utah home. I got started in photography in 2008 by getting a dSLR camera in anticipation for a trip to Europe, and have been hooked ever since. Once I got into photography, I thought I would dabble in weddings and portraits. However, I soon realized that mountains and buildings don’t blink or complain, and decided to focus on those subjects.
I focus mainly on my own backyard of the amazing landscapes in Utah and the Colorado Plateau. Southern Utah has so much to offer it would take me a life time to explore. While Utah is easily accessible for me, I live for traveling to new places- especially Europe- and photographing amazing scenes.
I am husband to an amazing wife, and father of a beautiful 6 month old girl. If I may be so self indulgent, I’m much like Billy Zane; a pretty cool dude.

Short Bio: I got my first camera in 7th grade, circa 1977, not really mine, just a vacation lend from my Dad. He set up a darkroom in our only bathroom and took so many pictures of me that they fill 11 albums.
I loved yearbook staff so much in high school that I chose to study and graduate from BYU with a BFA in photography and minor in communications. My first job was at the Provo Daily Herald with the amazing Jason Olson and Trent Nelson. I worked part-time after our first child, then freelanced, then had three children, then interned with the Deseret News during the 2002 Olympics.
My rekindling of my wedding photography business started when I traded in my Nikon f4 for a Nikon D70 in 2004. The digital bug bit me and here I am. I shoot families, weddings and some public relations work. I would love to shoot 50 weddings a year, but for now. I shoot less than 10, with about that many other clients as well.
My kids have busy social lives filled with friends, creek walking and music and sports. My husband is a web designer who loves his job, family and church.

Short Bio - Word from the Photographer:
I am a big dork. I like to make faces and weird noises at random times. I am pretty up front and open and those who know me can pretty much tell you that if you ask me something, I will tell you the truth. I have no shame and tend to blog personal things that many may not have even thought of knowing...but this is who I am. I can be random, I like..no LOVE ice cream and will take it any day of the week in any weather. I love photographing people because it allows me to see inside their lives for a little bit and really makes me appreciate the love and spirit for life even more. I consider myself really lucky and really blessed.
