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!!)

Yay! my comment is on the first page :-) This is top notch postwork, excellent lighting, and pose. The wings fit right on, and the crown is such a pefect touch. I can see her quite proud of mom's talent :-) Kudos to you on this one. I am not going to send hugs or kisses like all these people do, but here are my two thumbs up and 5+!!

If your daughter is the little fairy queen, does that makes you the queen mother?!!!? LOL!!! Sorry, it just got me to thinking... I'll bet she WAS the life of the party too!!!!! excellent postwork Kimmers, I'm glad your liking your new home too!!!!

Oooh I know the anxious worried feeling too well grin You did really capture that very well - poor wee girl but am pleased that they did turn up ;) This is lovely - I love everything about this :) Her costume is just wonderful she did a good job putting it together :) Cheers, Tina

A beautiful shot, and she did an excellent job on the costume. When I was that age, my costume creativity would have been limited to a paper bag and a pair of scissors. :P

Aww, beautiful!

What a sweet costume Janel! You would have thought Mom would have used a bit of her magic to to put a smile on your face. ;) You will learn there is nothing one can do to change the situation at any given moment, but a happy-go-lucky attitude passes to time better! Congrats on the successful Portrait Photo session Kimmers!

I do not enjoy waiting on someone to give me a ride so I know how she feels. she did a wonderful job on her costume, but I bet mom thinks she looks more like an angel!!!
artgum

jonbg1
Oh what an expression! You just know she was all worried that she had suddenly become unpopular. lol She did a great job on the costume, perhaps a future clothes designer? :)
gingerlou

This little fairy is beautiful. She puts all my fairies to shame. It almost looks like you pasted her on the lawn,,, Are you going to share your photo shoot with us???
Georgy

Her waiting for her friends sure adds a lot to this shot. Love her expression. She is beautiful. Aloha
st_fish
She does look a little worried... She did great with her costume! So rich colours and it fits her perfectly!! Lovely portrait - good luck with all the postwork! 8;o)

This Alice dressed up very well and made up holds an installation nonchalante which contrasts well with the legendary character of girl curious about the novel. This portrait of one of your children is a success, since independamment subject you took in your field, this large tree which gives the impression of depth. CHEER.
