Kimarie Chartier here- 43. I live in Canyon Country /Newhall area , Southern California. I have always been an artist . I started drawing at age two. My Mother said when I was a child I always had something to draw with in hand and I would cry when the paper ran out (LOL) ..I went to art school for a short while and have taught art to elementry school kids. I have done many oil paintings , pastels and watercolors , but recently , have been intrigued with digital photography and computer photo art in paint shop pro. now, I mainly work in Paint shop pro 7 and 11. I now also just beginning to work in ADobe photoshop cs2 ! I also am a full time Mom with three girls ( who are all over my gallery) Annie 16, Janel 13, and Christina 10. Between my parenting, photoshoots, Renderosity and playing in paint shop/ photoshop I keep very busy ! I also have a sweet, loving cocker spaniel named Candi who is very needy of much love and attention lol She goes with me on photoshoots-oh- 'cept when I am shooting birds haha cause she is a bird hunter by nature!!
 I LOVE any kind of art .like to draw and paint with basically anything I can get my hands on (LOL)!
I have fallen in love with photography
opening up light and dark and seeing the limitless possiblities! But I do still love to paint too!!  Works like Nightfears , came from nothing but my immagination -drawing/ painting with only a mouse paint and smudge tools from a blank page in paintshop 7. I started out with a Nikon 7900 pocket cam and am at the moment working in photography..now also have two other canon pocket cams a sl900
and sx 100is - mainly all my work in my gallery is done with my little pocket cams - they go with me everywhere and is an an extention of my right hand!! I have a canon rebel as well but it isnt working all that great so manly using the pocket cams for now . Learning..growing and sharing on here is the best!! I don't know what I would do without this site it has helped me learn so much..( this site motivates me so much ) I love it here ! yeah so I got the photography bug ..and I also love to do photo art...!! I, every now and then I will do a painting or a smudging as I call it.( you can see most of my smudge painting works hand done with a mouse on the first two pages of my gallery!!)

Terrific shot and story! I liked the little details, like the fact the his mother combed his hair. Was this bride really running away? If so she was probably right in following her heart.

Wow, what a story to go with this magical image...you have such a talent for writing and putting in the exact image to convey the story...Well done Kimmers!
Mikan
it is magical because of the light; the bride has some kind of aura that brings her out of the dark - the blurry image is good to hide her emotions and keep a little mystery about her face - if she has tears in her eyes, if she smiles, if she's angry or if she's going to another wedding! :)) Reading you story made me say at a moment: "come on, girl, don't you ever stop telling the story? are you on black coffee??? I must sleeeppp!" kiddin', of course...An incredible-realistic story that grabs you attention and you really forget that you're just behind a monitor and read - someone could think that the bride is here and tell her lifestory! all apreciations, my dear kimmie! hugs [4 days untill your birthday; partyyy!! :D]
