There are some tricks... like holding the camera down at your side. Angle it up and just snap away hoping you catch a good one. I've been known to hold the camera over my shoulder etc. ANYTHING but putting the camera up to my eye which is a sure fire way to send the kids running!

I'm not sure they are as good as posed photos, but so far, no one has gotten sick of me and the camera.

Yep......bribing works rather well. (most of the time) As a matter of fact, Anna owes me a 20 shot photo shoot complete with beautiful smiles and no whining. (I must have said yes to something wonderful) :o) I have pictures from the butterfly house at the Science Center from just the other day too.

I LOVE seeing the pictures of my beautiful nieces and nephews and hope they never end!
