the easiest way is to use a reflector, if you don't have a reflector with you (cause really what Mom carries one with her everywhere) you can use a white shirt, a light coloured building, tin fold.

as I stated[i think],,the shadows showing is what brings out the pic--early morn/cold/I see you mommie/I'm safe/wish I were in my warm bed/brrrrr--...only thing I can think of,would be sharper focus on the eyes[not possible without manual focus{you were using a P&S,right?}]..otherwise I feel it is a beautiful pic.. thanks--joe

Yeah, the histogram dies off well before the right/bright edge. It's underexposed.

To use a white shirt, et.al., to lighten up your shadows, hold it like a flag on the side of the face opposite the light source. Believe it or not it will reflect some of the light to the side of the face where the shadows are "landing". If the shadows are lighter, they will be there to give the face "dimension", but not so dark to overwhelm the subject.
Experiment with it on your "off" time...most moms have tons of that!! LOL

Try it with a mirror, or a piece of tinfoil first, just to get the idea, then switch to the shirt/towel/pillow case, etc. But use the mirror to exaggerate the effect so it's easy for you to see how it's working before you switch to the white.
Have fun!
Have fun!

white shirt if someone is wearing it, you can have them stand just off to the side to bounce some light back.
Ohh don't get me started on trying to learn photography with a growing herd, it's a challenge and a nightmare at times, but then so is almost anything you coulple with motherhood. :)
