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!!)

This is the image they will love in years to come because its them.:) I like what you did to the hand, gives a fun image a bit more fun.;)

Guess they will treasure this, as a counterweight to the more serious official wedding photos! As I have said so many times: I love when you go outside the frames :-)

So beautiful Kim!!! Wow! I agree with the others that this will be one of their most favorite photos because it truly shows the spirit and fun of their relationship!! :-) She is a gorgeous bride and I love the lighting that shows the delicate veil and detail on her dress when I enlarge the photo to full size. You did a great job with her hand too... I would never have noticed it was painted in if you hadn't told me. :-) Funny story..and a beautiful wedding photo! hehehe

Great shot! Reminds me of the one I took last year in my gallery called "Happy Bride" Good job on the "finger painting" too! I would not have realized had you not brought it to my attention. (Sorry I have not commented on your other shots lately. My computer crashed. Bought a new one. I the process of getting it "trained" to do my bidding... ...long process). I am squeezing this inbetween calls at work! :) Li Luyi

Such a lively pair ... I doubt they'll see many boring days together. Fantastic photo Kimmers. *****

Oooooh! What a perfectly timed photo Kimmie!!!! So filled with love and joy. BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!! I feel like a nag...but id love for it to be a bit smaller though, so that i dont have to scroll up and down and sideways to see it all. I feel im losing that POW-effect when i have to do that. Another thing to consider is those that view photos compressed within the browser...the bigger the original...the more it gets compressed and the lower the quality. Have a wonderful day my friend. #:o)
