No More CHEESE! 3 Way to get Natural Smiles

If your kids are anything like mine, they tend to act like a crazy person when I whip out the camera and ask them to give me a nice smile. In fact, I gave up on that many years ago! I have literally told my kids 'Don't even smile- just stand there so I can take a quick photo'.  Otherwise, I have photos like this one of John who looks super creepy with his smile.

Or I get photos like Matthew's school picture. Does this look familiar?? Maybe your child's school photos looks similar to mine- a very odd smile and lifeless eyes. I only buy school photos for nostalgia...and because my husband insists on buying them. However, these never make it out of a box of photos in my cabinet. 

Normally, I take candid photos of the boys so they have learned to ignore me and the camera while they are playing. They are used to me always having the camera around so it doesn't bother them. I have hundreds of beautiful photos of them and my walls are covered in candid, documentary photos. However, there are still times I want to take a photo of them with a nice smile. I am sure you do too! So, I am giving a way a FREE copy of '3 Ways to Get Natural Smiles from your Children'! .
