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!!)

When I first saw the image, I thought it was your other daughter, did not know you had two daughters. Your kids are adorable. The incent look in her eyes and the fact that she is trying hard to pose for you to get a good picture is awsome. The shot is absolutly beautiful BTW. I can almost see you in the reflection of her eyes
BBarbs

Portraits of children may well be you strongest area of photography. You manage to capture the essence of them with clarity, love, and skill. Bravo!! The new cam will be a joy but you have the greatest asset needed already. A marvelous eye and sense of subject.

A sown face of freckles. A very beautiful development, because one can have fun to count the spots on this pretty frimousse. Large eyes open on the world reflections of mom in the pupil of Nellie. That precise details on this butterfly small butterfly, you do not fear anything, it will not devour you. Very very beautiful stereotype. Framing corresponds to what must be emphasized the eyes of the child watch for our approval. A smile is outlined on the face of Nellie. A little marvel that this small portrait!!!

I too am glad you posted it. Both subjects, Nelly and the butterfly, are very pretty. I must admit at first glance I thought the butterfly was on her nose. :)

goodoleboy
What a poignant tabeau.....the butterfly, in conjunction with those freckles and great big guileless eyes, along with the beautifully delineated eyebrows! And a nice variation of browns here, what with the butterfly, your daughter's freckles, hair and eyebrows. As I've often said before, Kimsee, your work is superb!!!
Onslow
Ha what a great idea with the pollen. Well done to you for a splendid capture and well done to Nellie for posing without going cross eyed :)

O U T S T A N D I N G !!! What a darling! A beautiful young lady and a magnificent photograph!! The lighting and clarity are amazing, not to mention the compostion and the fact that you caught this at just the right moment before it flew away! I especially love the blue reflection in her eyes. Just amazing! My compliments, ma'am!!!
