Had fun and my husband got a kick out of my giddy giggling every now and then.

Well, this was on the camera...

OCF? does that mean of camera flash? lol hehe I find some images having really prominent cast shadows.. flash maybe placed really low or in the same level of the subject.. thats why some images shows cast shadows.. place the flash a little bit higher than the subject to eliminate the harsh shadow... a bigger defuser maybe to help you eliminate shadows.. defuser dome or bounce it on a white cardboard faster shutter speed to eliminate blured image.. I find it nice shooting soft for kids so i suggest a bigger opening.. maybe a f2.8? anyway, that is just my opinion I hope it helped.. keep on clicking

If you really want to experiment, cut down all the ambient light.

Which means, put the camera and speedlight in manual modes.

Shutter speed will then control the ambient light exposure and the lens aperture will control the strobed light exposure. Just don't exceed the camera's shutter flash sync speed (1/200 or 1/250) and set the flash sync to the rear/second shutter curtain.

Her trigger won't be able to do rear curtain flash Keith.

i experienced my first real shooting with ocf this wednesday looks like you did better then mine. i left iso in auto and do to low ambient lighting it was boosting my iso up to 3200 on my d3000 and we got grainy city lol. i realised this after we were done of course.
