Get a REAL flash instead of the onboard thing, then you can bounce it off the ceiling or wall...... much better.
If that is out of the question, try a diffuser like the one I made.... it does help.

if you are using external flash, bounce it off the ceiling
with on camera flash its a little difficult to do that though |

Soften flash will help. Sometimes a simple tissue over the flash will help with harsh shadows.

Moving the subjects further from the background should help, too.

| Many cameras will also let you reduce the power of the flash through a menu setting. |
