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!!)

Oh... for pete's sake!! Time to fess up!! You guys put honey on her nose everyday... right?? Too hilarious! :0)

I think your daughter has a very sweet nose:-) What a wonderful thing to happen and be treasured forever, captured!
mylemonblue
Hehehe. Cool pic. I think the bugs want her to have her picture taken so they keep landing on her nose. :D
jonbg1
Ok, that girl is too sweet for her own good, I think. LOL Fun stuff! :)

How cute is this!!!! Excellent! Can't image why insects love her, but it must be that she's just really sweet! Fantastic photos!
Cullen
It's those beautiful brown eyes the butterfly was attracted to, he just wanted a closer view! Kimmie, keep on finding these wonderful photo ops and sharing the wonder of it all!

Just love her expression with the butterfly on her nose. Just so cute. Excellent shots. Aloha
lemonjim
the shots are incredible - the story and comments make it high entertainment!

Maybe the butterfly is trying to help your Daughter realize how lovely she is. What a great capture. Love it when the odds are taken to the extreme.
gunsan
Sooo Kimmie...no honey??? Well they must feel she is a wonderful girl, and since she has a AOM photographer for a mom, they of course like to pose :-) Just wonderful shots!!
DennisReed
Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww, Kimmers, these expression of Annie are priceless! This capture has made my week! :) Annie, you have nothing to be self-concious of! ;) Mom, maybe it'a a good thing Annie IS shy!
nongo
That last one really cracks me up!!!! It's actually pretty funny that these land on her nose, maybe it's just a phase she's going through??LOL!!!!!!!
Hidinthesierras

Wow pretty butterfly!!! Wow Kimarie what are the odds of a butterfly to land on your daughters nose??? I bet that butterfly tickled her nose!!! These are cool photos and I adore the expressions on all four photos!!! Lucky you had your camera with you, otherwise you would miss these magnificent shots!!! Fantastic photography Kimarie!!! Hugsss Frankie ^_^
helix3d
Another lovely image. Would she be willing to do this with a big, hairy tarantula? Ugh!
Gor111
LOL what a lovely, funny and cute photography series! Love the way how you show her various expressions! How does it comme that all insects love her nose? LOL Thanks for this beautiful posting!!!
redheadgrrl
Kimarie - your girls (and yes, the butterfly too) are beautifully charming kids - and yes, I know, from having a girl (now 24) how self-consious they can be at a certain age. However, that said, this shot of Annie proves that she can come out of her shell (even on camera) and be humoristique and cute despite the shyness. Way to go Annie - and way to go mom for being there to capture it. Great shots - especially love #2 and #4. :-)

I almost can't believe this. Good shots anyway, and I am so glad that it are only small animals like little insects that are attracted by your daughters nose - imagine there would be.... naah, better not.
PeeWee05
I honestly can't believe they just sit on her nose!!! Love the third shot - quirky!
giareg
Another excellent composition and so many compliments to have been chosen artist of the month.
