Yes to the first part, and you said it more clearly than I did. I shoot in manual though so I wasn't using any automatic flash compensation. But I did keep the flash's effect more subtle than if I were backlighting with full sun for example. (one more canned good donated to FoodShare.)

Well done for re-planning at short notice! Nice portraits.

When you said this “I just made sure my ambient light was at or just below what the meter was telling me, and used the flash to add emphasis and a little direction to the light.” Did you mean that you stopped down a bit more than your meter indicated (or maybe increased your shutter speed), then used flash exposure compensation to add direction?
