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!!)

What a lovely model for first shot with new camera. Beautiful portrait!

The learning curve on your new toy is easy, it wont take you very long to master all of the features. You'll just have to stand further away for a while (he he he). Lenses will help down the road. Great shot and tack sharp, thats whats important. Great work as always.

Adorable!!

What a beautiful daughter you have and such gorgeous eyes! I'm sure she will be a heart-breaker. Hope you like your Canon camera, I have two and think the quality if superb, especially when you see a printed version. Please tell Chrissy that freckles are a sign of English beauty - I know what little girls are like about their freckles!!

She's a very adorable girl! Now for me since this my first visit to your page what sort of Canon did you get. Unfortunately I only have a point and shoot digital - Canon PowerShot A610 - what ever it is looks like it does a beautiful job ;)

I have been missing a couple of your images as it seems so had to go through your gallery again to see what I've missed - This image is just so precious - I'm so jealous of her fabulous freckles!!!! laugh she's a real cute girl :) And happy belated birthday, Kimarie - and naughty naughty for being impatient grin Wonderful picture, beautiful lighting - although I see that you're bothered how the hair is cropped out a bit - but I like how this picture is - cropped hair and all :) Cheers :) Tina
