I love being a stay at home mom. Sure there are some days that I feel like I'm really going to lose it and wish I had the luxury of adult conversation, mental stimulation beyond Moo-Baa-La-La-La, grown up clothes and lunches out. But then one of my children does somthing so sweet or gives me a look that just melts my heart. And then I know I made the right decision to stay home and be with them. Today was one of those days.
I get
very little good natural light in my house so I've been practicing with my flash. Wish I could get better at it and get some nice catch lights. Suggestions??? All shot in manual mode with flash & cloudy lightsphere (angled at about 45 degrees). Ap & SS varied (and I'm too lazy to go back and look up what they were!).

OH that is so sweet. I love her little face. I"m struggling with inside lights also, so no help here.

oh and i have great light in my house and still struggle with indoor LOL!
Catchlights are tough with a flash...a lot of it is placement. Experiement with different bouncing and diffusing, but they really look good...nice and clear/crisp. BTW...I like being a SAHM too.
You did a great job on these!!! I love the color shots. They are so bright.

those pictures came out wonderful. Love the goggles, and the last one melted my heart.
I just love those pictures... I can't pick a favorite. As for suggestions with the flash, I'm no help. I'm still trying to figure mine out.
sorry no help with inside shots. she sure is cute.
Such a cute little face she is making. I like the b/w here.
Oh she is so precious!! Just love these
How adorable! It's those moments that make it all worth it!
As for flash, I think you did a great job. For better catchlights try bouncing off a wall.
Love the third shot, so beautiful!
Being a SAHM is the best!!!! I love being home for my kids when they get off the bus.
She couldn't be any cuter! Great shots, I think you did really well with the flash.
Those first two crack me up and the second two are just beautiful!
Oh my word! I just love these so much. You did such a fantastic job with that flash girl! Holy smokes.
I know what you mean about being a stay at home mom. Sometimes it is tough, but the rewards are many for sure.
You are so lucky to stay home! Great shots :)
that first one just cracks me up!!
Great job with the flash. I wouldnt have known it wasn't natural light. great job
I think these look great. She is so cute with those goggles.
I think you're doing great with your flash!! SOmetimes if it is too bright for my taste, even with bouncing, I decrease the flash exposure compensation on the flash itself. HTH!
What an absolute doll!!! I think you did a great job with flash! Your conversions are beautiful!
Too cute!! Shes adorable, love her eyes!! I bet its a real treat to stay home and watch them grow.
These are great! Love the mask!
Sooo cute!!
Goggle shot #2 is SO precious. (( can't access italics for this comment!) Wow. I think that would look so cool as a large print. That is a shot a grandma would love. Great color; great work! ML
