Taken at a local public golf course at about 6:15 pm. Had planned to use a reflector mounted on a light stand, but nixed that plan because it was too windy and we were losing light fast. Big tip to pass on. When working with kids, try to have an assistant to tend to the reflector, engage the kids and most importantly to make minor positional changes while you work the camera. I had several "oh that would have been a good shot if ..." situations arise whereby the kids needed to be moved or held in a position for a little bit longer, but by the time my daughter or I made the adjustment and I would run back behind the camera, the moment had been lost. I would best equate working with small kids to shooting a sports event - you have to be prepared and waiting, because your best opportunity shots pass very quickly.
