28-70 2.8L (yes the older one) at 1/100 f 3.5 ISO 400 with 580ex omnibounce by STO-FEN.
85 1.8 at 1/100 f 4.5 ISO 800 via natural light from window. I'd like your feedback please on the lighting used in these two shots. Is the lighting in the first too harsh? My usual images are like the second. Thanks for any input! Jon

It is tuff to photograph babies with parents since most adults skin in darker. I adjust the light to the babies skin then adjust in PS if parents skin is too dark. Shawn

Look into the lumiquest softbox and you can get a more direct flash that is diffused quite well.
