The light looks rather harsh (especially in the last)...try bouncing the flash perhaps? I'm definitely not a lighting expert. I recommend going to Small Flash and Studio Lighting. Post your images there and ask how you can improve your lighting. Good luck w/ your maternity shoot. Photo Gear: Canon 60D, 85mm f1.8, Tamron 17-50mm f2.8 OS, 18-55mm kit lens, 580EX II

If so, and you are able, try moving it a little ways off the camera...

. Wouldn't it be great if you could move the in-camera flash, though?
