As there is no flash socket on the M 100 and the in body flash of this camera is weak and gives a harsh light it is better to make the change.

I gave up shooting my family indoor without flash a long time ago. I`m using a efx 270 on my M6 either with a diffusor or bouncing the flash up to the ceiling. The 32mm won`t help you for closer distance because at 1.4 you might not get enough depth of field.

Just look at the attached image: even on f4 there is not enough DOF to get both kids and the dogs in proper focus.

Your image is front focused and some of your DoF got wasted.  Look at the very bottom of the image and you will see that the platter in front of your daughter is in focus

Try to get a good balance between ambient light and flash.

You did a pretty good job balancing the exposure.  Don't be afraid to take manual control and bump up your ISO quite a bit.  High ISO with flash has dramatically less noise than high ISO with just ambient light.

M6 + 32mm f1.4
