Without the flash, there won't be a shadow. (The flash is causing the shadows.) With the flash on a flip bracket (flipped when you go vertical), there will be a shadow but it will be behind the subject and not visible - just like a horizontal shot.

Don't have the child too close to whatever you're using as a background. And yes, you must have the flash above the camera, not directly from the side. Sorry, but having a flash on the camera and turning it on its side is bad photography. To help you along, either take a class or pick up a good portrait lighting book to learn how to light a subject, both with studio lighting and outdoor lighting. It's quite involved, but there are simple setups that work fine.

My thinking is that your "shadow" may be a ghost image of your subject,...a by-product of using flash with a slow shutter speed. Can you post an example?
