Good references?

I tried setting up inside tonight with a cheap light that has a reflector bowl around it. It clips onto things and I tried 2 different bulbs, the 'Reveal' and 'Enrich' brands.

This is my first try at using an inside light set up instead of natural. I do not think they are very dramatic, but let me hear your comments on whether they could work.

I need to try moving the light source around more - I did not have much room tonight since I did it at home instead of the studio. I used a piece of foamcore to reflect back into shadows. I could not get rid of that shadow behind them - I do not recall seeing that on other good photos I have seen.

These are not planned portraits, just me grabbing the family to try.

I have a commission with 3 kids that I need to photograph tomorrow.
