Soft Side Lighting
You can use soft side lighting. Consider this nice photograph of a child taken by Sylvan. The shadows are not harsh but you can tell that the light is coming from one side.
This image and the previous one are both examples of side lighting. Side lighting adds depth and texture to the subject. The shadows can be dramatic and interesting. Even lighting that leaves little shadow is called soft lighting.
