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!!)

Such a sweet family!

Ha ha! I love the myriad of expressions. Hubby looks a little like Dennis Quaid, IMO. (That's a good thing.) Great shot, and whats wrong with the artistic value? It can be artsy fartsy if you say it is! The beautiful neon against the darkening clouds...The city scape beyond the water... Thanks for sharing.

Excellent family portrait!!!

A poignant tableau indeed in this exquisite shot, Ferris wheel and all, Kimmie! But, I ask again, where is Monica, who plays her harmonica down on the pier in Santa Monica?

What a beautiful family you have! So nice of you to share your family with us...

This is a great shot of the family...missing you of course. I always try to do a family portrait about every 10 years - it takes that long to get everyone to stop groaning and agree to do it. :-)

your family is beautiful; and I love the background here.. so colorful and ALIVE!
WarpedHalo
That's a great shot of your family - love the growing evening and the beautiful lights from the ferris wheel in the background ... it has a good feel to it! One picture of many to keep!

A family to love and be very proud of ... and how lucky they are to have you, as a mom and companion, and to capture these precious moments. And to Janel, for getting on the Ferris Wheel ... way to go, girl!! :o) CC

Thank you for sharing your beautiful family with us. A lovely capture to add to your album. That wheel looks very tempting in the back ground too. It's years since I have been on one.

Hey! The beautiful people! Very nice indeed.

This is a family portrait blessed with radiance. I don't know how else to say it. And it's not just your own radiance, but bringing out the radiance in your loved ones. The lighting of the four of them and the clarity & gentle 'symphony' of their hues is just radiant. You find the right place, the right balance, the inner shine...The line from Annemarie through Janel, and Janel's hair flowing into Chrissy produces a kind of heart-meld, how 3 different people come together in unspoken ways (esp. the way the 2 older sisters flow from one to the other), and then how Chrissy continues right through Mike, who stands like an oak. Also, the clarity of the pier supports (if that's what they are) & the ferris wheel add a sparkling background in my opinion, all backed by a sky that seems to have known what was in front of it, and gave you just the right amount of dark blue to set everything off. A portrait from one who truly adores the souls she's portraying, a beautiful shot & beautiful family...I mean, what more could one want...

A nice family picture Kimmers!

Love their expressions, I see the same ones all the time when I say "Time for fotos"--everyone rolls their eyes and lines up!! I also remember the pier, though when I was a kid, it was Pacific Ocean Park (POP) and had a roller coaster at the very end. That first big drop made you feel like you'd go straight down into the water, but it sure was FUN!!
