It looks like she was laying on a mattress. Were you standing on the mattress as well to take the shot using the flash on the camera?

If you were standing on the mattress, it would cause an increase in camera shake since it's not firm. Try a ladder instead and bounce the flash off the wall or ceiling to soften the light up.
