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!!)

Although I don't post photographs here, I have been making a living at photography for over thirty years and own a camera shop in the UK. I am often asked to judge photographic competitons and so feel qualified to to comment on this image. It's an excellent piece and yes, probably a lot better than the school photographers would produce. The exposure is spot-on and the colours work well together, overall a really nice portrait. Make the most of her, they really do grow up fast, I have one just turned thirty, another almost twenty and my youngest is seventeen and it doesn't seen five minutes ago that they were toddlers. Keep up the great work. V

Dang! Everybody else already said everything! Oh well, Great shot, Kimmers. She's really beautiful! Oh, and that's FAR better than the crap they take at school. Good job, Mom!
lemonjim
Sooo cute, and what a smile - I can see why you love it!
BBarbs
Really adorable portrait and far better than any school photographer would do. What they do is formulaic. Yours is so sweet and truly shows the lovely personality of your daughter. Excellent work kimmie.
nongo
She sure is a chip off of the old block!!!!!!! excellent work, and glad you saved some $$ doing it yourself!!!!!
hewee
You did real good on this shot Kimmer and it will be a memory for years and years. It's a beautiful portrait of Janel.

How sweet! The flower seems so perfect in this lovely portrait for your daughter is like a rose in bloom. Love how her skin tones and lips match the tones of the petals and her hair just shines. They do grow up so fast but our love grows more every day. This is VERY SPECIAL. V. :O) CC
erskogly
It's a beautiful portrait of a sweet young girl - she's obviously inherited some good genes:)) Excellent work (and, I suspect, way better than any school photographer would have done...)
silverhalide
I can see the family resemblance, and brown eyes RULE! I would certainly rather have this as a school photo than a hurried shot by someone who doesn't really care anymore abt the quality of his/her work!
bentchick
A beautiful portrait! A beautiful daughter! Much better then any school pic I've seen!!! LOL :P
DennisReed
Wonderful Family Portrait; worth a lot more than $100, and you get both! :) What a lovely young Lady Janel is becoming! Just remind her that Peter Pan was 1st played by a young Lady, so it's OK not to grow up in to big of a hurry! ;)
