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!!)

kimariehere
No they both were quite alive and i didnt glue them on they landed on her nose ... I promise i have more pics to prove it and 4 eyewitnesses .... hehehe... thank you though....
goodoleboy
Aw c'mon Kimmie, Annie must rub some kind of pheromone or pollen attar or cream on her nose to attract these little critters. Either that or she's another Snow White, who bonded easily with birds and land animals. Anyway, great captures of your daughter and her various expressions, and the butterfly, of course.

Kimarie, your good faith cannot be questioned. Your daughter makes up herself, and in its make-up, fatally perfumes in very small quantity are, but which exist, carried by a support, more or less fatty or more or less also, scented to him. Butterflies, like the bees, like the ants, being very sensitive to the odors, it little that this one takes the nose of the girl for a plant. Our nose is it should be recognized the least sensitive of the olfactive equipment of planet. For the series of stereotypes, being in situation of exploration, considering the quality of the catch of sight, here can tele 80-200, be seen little depth of field, one cannot question the good faith of the artist. In ZOOM-IN you will see, band of sceptiic, that the butterfly moves its two wings, it more or less opens the airfoil which is to him nessairev to fly. The victim being ecologist kind, did not want to frighten the butterfly, the time of the photograph, this is why on 4th, the wings are completely replis. The doubt dear friends, is not always synonymous with wisdom!
kimariehere
no photomanipulation creams or pheramons were used i am amazed as you are that this happened ...but it did... like i said i have more untouched pictures to prove it ..."O)
erskogly
What are the odds? She's a veritable bug-magnet:) Dragonflies and butterflies - and for some strange reason they think that the nose of your daughter is a safe place to land (and I suppose it actually is...:) Beautiful - both of them!
brycek

Sekadhar

Beautiful Monarch Butterfly. I believe that butterflies taste though the bottom of their feet. Nice shots, I love the expression of the 3rd one the best.
Blush
Oh sis I love how you put all these together like that:) You tell Annie she is beautiful and shouldn't be self-conscious about getting her pic taken.... Beautiful Talented Mom and Beautiful Daughter Also mom finds the neatest pics and gets right into the smack of things Love this sis Hugs Susan~
Biffowitz
hahahaha.... well if that don't beat all, life is at times really strange huh? cool shots!
Buffalo1
I think the butterfly is attracted to a kindred spirit. There is nothing like a chance capture of your daughter with a new friend.
Richardphotos
like I said yesterday she has something that attracts beautiful insects,like a good heart.like you have instilled in her. beautiful monarch and,well your daughter's good looks speak for their self!!outstanding macros
BorisB
Yes, that's really unbelievable, a magic story, but very funny and well done!
drawbridgephoto
FAKE!!! IMPOSTER!!!! There is no way on earth that can be true! I just refuse to accept that you can possibly have a 15 year old daughter!!! Hey, nice photo of a nose under that insect. Makes me wonder what would happen if it were not such a beautiful bug. If a cicada, for example, landed on her nose, I doubt you'ld be fast enough to get a shot then. :-)
2Loose2Trek
Love the shots of the insects landing and posing on your daughter's nose. Incredible and very well done. Excellent!!!
girsempa
Maybe Annie can get a career as a photo model..? Specialization: insects on the nose... Bet she could make a lot of money, LOL. Super shots, Kimmers! I want a daughter like that!!!
