Thanks for the comments!

UBSeng - I used 3 AB's - 2 800's on the b/g and 1 400 with a shoot-thru umbrella. Started off with the umbrella to camera right but was also shooting a 3-year old, so the camera had to come off the tripod! I think photo #1, I was to the right of the umbrella.

Shuttermom - I see what you mean about too muc of the top of the head - hadn't really noticed it before, but is something I will watch out for in the future. There were dozens of pics that got trashed because her head looked enormous! Her mom loved it though, as it captured the stage she's at - tries to latch on to anything in sight! Some pp was done - converted from raw in Lightroom, adjusted wb and sharpened, minor adjustment on levels (I believe the red needed adjusting) in Elements, and ran it through Imagenomic Portraiture taken down to 50%, then sharpened the eyes.

I have a question about the wb adjustments in Lightroom though. I chose daylight which set it at 5500 plus added 10 on tint. If I'd chosen flash wb, the preset on Lightroom is to add no tint. Which is the correct selection? Or is it just personal preference?
