Since we just setup this site (thegirards.com), we might as well make use of it! And what better way than sharing a some new pictures? 🙂 Fresh out of the digital darkroom….

OK, to say this is Alice’s first photoshoot is a little misleading. For all of you who know know me even a little, you know I’m a shutter bug and have already taken hundreds of pics of Alice. However…. this evening I decided to put Alice under the lights for the first time. And interrogation? No…. just a “friendly” photoshoot! Using my new Alien Bees B400’s (lights) I recently picked up off eBay, I turned our living room into a photo studio. This certainly won’t be the last shoot of Alice, but it is the first.

Although I wasn’t able to create the images I had in my mind’s eye, these were a great start. But of course, in my mind’s eye… Alice was VERY cooperative. All in all, she was a real trooper and cooperated quite well, even if it took a milk coma to do it. How fitting!

Come back soon for more pics and blog entries about Alice. Enjoy!
