I had the same thought about the catch lights. I think these pics are great so only offer this in the vane of Cc and maybe making them even a little better. I like the concept of easy and packing light, so I get the bare flash and letting mom hold it etc. If you (the replier) want a bigger catch light, you can add something like a Lumiquest foldable soft box to your kit. They go on super quick with an elastic/Velcro strap, are maybe 8 times the size of the bare flash, and will effect exposer by a stop or two (so if you are at 1/8 you may be at 1/4 or a little more). You can also use a foldable 20inch umbrella with one or two flashes to get a nice catch light. They are small enough to transport easy. Again, the manual setting is effected. Finally a small reflector positioned correctly (need mom or a light stand and mini boom with CW) also does the job of catch lights and fill flash. Finally as a last little nit, I would probably lighten the iris of these dark eyed beauties a bit just to make them pop more.
I used to shoot with someone like the OP as kind of a team. Them more creative and better at posing and interacting with subjects, me the super tech. it was great. Need to find that again.
