One thing that will help is to get the your flash off the camera, it will make the subjects easier to light, and you should be able to avoid the harsh light that you might obtain using the on camera flash,

I took took the liberty to lighten your photos. If you shoot in jpeg format it is far harder to adjust the color balance, which I adjusted a tad than in jpg or jpeg format.

I come here to help others who have problems. That I might have knowledge or solutions. I do not claim to be Scott Kelby, or any of his expert staff. I lightened the two photos just to show that she might lighten them and at least get an image that was dark and very underexposed.

Dun1;

No flame was intended.
Only an observation.
Perhaps lifting the highlights and using less fill light would work better.

Am I mistaken or has the OP not posted with 'save originals'?

Here are two of the pictures that I believe are too dark. Thank all of you for your suggestions and help. Captain C, I think you are right...... Sometimes it just can't be done.



Yes, they are too dark, but easily fixed in Photoshop. if you would have clicked "store in image," I could have worked on a higher resolution image to show you what is attainable.
