Simplicity Photography bio picture
  • I'm Angie Monson, a portrait photographer located in Salt Lake City, UT. Just a gal trying to make a living while pursuing her dream. I am a mother of three sweet babies that keep me on my toes. I started Simplicity Photography in 2005 and this is my journey, it's all here on this good ol' blog. Hope you enjoy what you see! Pull up a chair and stay a while...

ONE

Milo turned one (without getting my permission).

He is the sweetest, happiest baby around. I will keep him based on those 2 things. We love him SO much!

I have lots of plans for his one year old pics this week, but for now here are a few with yummy light on our street.
*Unfortunately I got locked out of my house with all 3 kids for taking these spontaneous pics… and ripped my pants trying to get back in. Funny now, not so much then.

Cici & Ryann

My great friend Jael DeYoung has started an amazing girls clothing line… Check it out. It’s very whimsical & colorful, just like her pictures. Jael is an amazing photographer
as well & now she has entered the clothing industry with some really amazing, playful designs. Go check them out! Chloe will be wearing these cute get-ups very soon:)

A popular designer collaborates with an acclaimed children’s photographer on a new girls clothing company to create CiCi & Ryann!

Karen Gamble, the designer of Two Monkeys Designs/Indie Clothing Company, and sought-after Dallas, TX-based children’s photographer Jael DeYoung have débuted CiCi & Ryann, a new brand of girls clothing “where sophistication plays with hip.” CiCi & Ryann launches with a Spring 2012 line of four collections for toddlers to tweens. The designers have used a fresh mix of vibrant colors, patterns and textures to create looks that are not only new in the marketplace, but also extremely wearable, fun and fashionable. The signature Lacey Leg is a modern take on the lace legging as a ruffle pant, made of a gorgeous white stretch floral lace and adorned with an adorable ruffled bottom. In addition, Karen and Jael have designed three raincoats made from the contemporary and ultramodern laminate cottons, offering bold, colorful prints with whimsical ruffles and sparkly rhinestone button detailing.

CiCi & Ryann is undoubtedly delivering a unique and distinct look for girls’ apparel consumers. The details and special touches throughout each collection, as well as the quality of each piece, is just superb.

Make sure to check out their website: www.ciciandryann.com
