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 an excellent portrait! The lighting is perfect and their poses are fantastic! Both girls are beautiful, and Nellie does look grown up with the makeup on! The teen years aren't that bad -- I had always heard they were awful. But, both my son and daughter were great kids. My daughter stayed sweet and now has her own daughter to raise. :^)

I hope she doesn't become the same kinda teen I was, that's all I can say. I was a little hellraiser. LOL, I'm sure she won't. Happy Birthday to your daughter :) - Matt

That was my first thought, how grown up she looks. I remember what I looked like at 13, it was very different from the youth of today. I am hoping with you Kimmers. Beautiful daughter, beautiful shot. Happy Birthday Janel! Hugs, Suzanne

One year for Halloween, and when my eldest grand daughter lived with me, she was a genie. She had the gauzy outfit and then we put make up on her. She looked like a Little Person... A very mature, miniature adult lady! And she was only 5 years old. It was beautiful and unnerving at the same time. Your princess is indeed gorgeous and it may be a bumpy ride from her to adulthood, but I can see in her face a cherub and she will always have a warm heart.

Beautiful photo of a beautiful daughter. Excellent work!

Happy Birthday Nellie!! Kimmers, it is a little scary to see a thirteen year girl looking grown-up, I can understand your wishes for her to be your little sweetie still. But, admit...she is a beauty in your make-up!! Hope her teenage will pass without those "big scenes", but I smile a little when I think of my little princess Emma,growing up to a real Drama Queen, BIG ROLLER COSTER!!! Anyway,a birthday hug to your little fairy!! PS My daughter Lena, 42, still have her baby blanket at the bottom of one of her drawers LOL
