Any advice re. taking pics indoors with flash would be appreciated muchly.xx
 
These are excellent images of these women. I think a tighter crop might be useful though… Just my .02.
 
I think they're great. I do know and understand the lighting you're describing and showing here and in my experience it's hard to get. Sometimes, mainly by mistake, I get it right on. Lol, so sorry, I have no idea how to achieve it because I also have no idea how to get it!
Especially love the expression on the first gal. She has a very experienced look on her face.
 
WOW these are great.. The lighting is like perfect!! Awesome job! I agree. Id crop some too... Way to go!!
 
Wow! Great shots! I love the lighting too!
Their skin color is so natural, and by the way, they are gorgeous! :hugs:
Makes me miss my nana...

Thanks for sharing! :heart:
 
Jemmy! wow! Your clarity and focus are rock solid. I love the way your wide open lens clearly separates the subject from the background. Simply stunning portraiture!
 
I think they're really nice, except that you cut the top lady's head a bit.... I hate it when that happens, its such a bummer!
