I am so glad I took the advice from several people in my DIY lighting thread to connect my flash units and use a larger light source.
This shoot was a little challenging. I only had one background choice due to the neighbors building a REALLY ugly fence in the yard that I hadn't realized had gone up when I agreed to do the shoot there, and I needed to be far enough from the road to avoid it in the frame, and then I was constantly shifting the lighting setup with the shade as the sun moved. Add to that, a dog running in an out of every shot, as well as a 2 year old doing the same, I was so happy to have the foam core to bounce on, instead of messing with my modifiers that may or may not have hit my subjects as a group. I really only got one chance as the little one was done before we even started.
I should have paid more attention to the ambient light as I wish the background was a little darker in a few of them. However even with 2 flash heads at 1/2 power, my recycle times were not up to par with a toddler.
Anyways! C&C is always welcome, along with tips and trick for the next go around.
