Making children smile for photos can be difficult. Provoking a natural smile can make a picture look excellent. You can try being silly in order to get them laughing. Playing a game can garner the child’s attention and get them smiling. Tell the child to play in order to get them happier. A simple trick is to tell children to jump before the picture. When all else fails, you can simply bribe them with things such as candy.

Key Takeaways:
