Lighting a subject
My approach is to walk around the chosen environment with the sitter, looking for the best window light (if indoors). I fill with a white or gold reflector in the shadow area if necessary. If it's truly low light, I use a tripod. My film is 400asa. This has worked 99% of the time.
For fidgety kids, I shoot a roll of 800asa.
The one time I needed additional light for a Mary Cassatt-type scenario (on the bed w/child) I used my floodlight (pretty basic I know). It worked just fine.
