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!!)

OMG kimmers.... She is beautiful.. a beautiful girl.. a beautiful woman.. "I'll be honest I have always been terrified of the teen years I hope I don't lose her kind and loving spirit" You never will.. she may go her way for a very brief time (and that is only a part of growing as we have all experienced).. but she has your morals and values.. she will never stray from that or you... :=) huggz

Hey, sweet thirteen and never been kissed! But if she keeps wearing makeup like that, that shouldn't be a problem for very long. Not long before the young gents start banging on your door. Lovely capture of the beautiful young debutante, Kimmie! Gorgeous tresses, indeed!

Very nice image. Now you have 3 yrs to prepare for her "Sweet 16".

A super shot and she does look so grown up. I'm sure she will still be the same sweetie right through her teens. I hope Nellie has a great birthday now she has made this milestone.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY Janel! You are a real beautiful looking young lady! What a luck mom you have! I wish you all the best for your whole future!!!

Unfortunately daughters come out of their teens with lost innocents, they seem to become more worldly and in a lot of ways more mature. All you can do is cross your fingers and hope that they have listened to you. That doesn't mean that you love them any less and hopefully they don't lose their love for you. By the sounds of things it would seem that you won't have any trouble with either.

Visions of the future? ;) Lovely daughter and I really believe we are "born who we are" so am betting that aside from normal bumps of growing up she will be the wonderful girl she is! :)) (speaking as a Mom, so some experience)

Oh, WOW! She is so grown up! Not the little girl whose photos you first posted at all! sighs.. Sunrise...Sunset...swiftly pass the years...

Well, Nellie is cute, the makup suits her very well, I understand what you say about the teens (my son is 13 years old...), and more of all the way you composed the photo with the reflexion is simply sublime !
