I haven't invested in flashes or lights simply because I like how natural light looks the best. Unfortunately that leaves me in a bind when it comes to snapping pictures of my kids. They never turned put right. Too dark, too blurry, too blown out and shadowed.
I needed something that wasn't a huge investment and was simple to use for these types of pictures.
I recently discovered a reflector for my built in flash. I purchased mine from Photojojo and as soon as I received the package, I began to play around with my new toy. The contrast between photos with the reflector and without the reflector are strong enough that even my children could see it.
Here's two photos of my daughter. One with the built in flash, one with the reflector attached. My husband marvels at how the one without the reflector males her hair look unwashed while the other looks more like she does in person.
