And only the 122nd photo on the camera...

The difference between an experienced photographer and a beginner is that the experienced one looks at the background before looking at the subject.

The other difference is that the experienced one knows to not use the built-in flash (or put a heavy diffuser over it). Otherwise you get nasty reflections on skin (foreheads, cheeks, and nose, and worst of all, bald spots). So, to remove these.

1. Add a layer, set it to "saturation" mode
   
2. Use a soft round brush with paint brush (or the airbrush)
   
3. Sample the skin color near the reflexion
   
4. Paint over the reflection
   
5. If the effect is too strong, reduce the layer opacity.
