The faces have no shadows!!! I am not a professional, but love to take tons of pictures of my family (particularly my three grandsons!) Thanks for your great ideas and any lighting help you can give me. I would love to know how you get such beautiful lighting? The faces have no shadows!!!

Great tips, and a funny post, to boot! The hidden tickle for the little babies always gets me some great giggle faces, as do the fake sneezes. I haven't yet mastered getting the 3-6 year olds to quit giving me fake smiles or downright ugly faces, but then again, *sometimes* those pictures themselves are precious.
