Show me your teeth!!

It had been so crazy busy around here the last few weeks!  We are getting ready to head out for another family adventure this week but this one will be full of relaxation, mai tai's & my feet in the sand!  And I'm going to want to take a million pictures of Ashlyn on the beach but she is totally on to me & refuses to smile for a picture anymore! ugh!!  She hates getting her picture taken!  SO I had to get creative to get her to take a few pics.  I hope this little trick lasts! lol

Do any of your littles hate getting their pictures taken too?  Ashlyn is so over it!  I usually have to hide the camera and sneak a picture in when she's not paying attention.  But if she sees that camera, oh gosh!!  Her little adorable face instantly changed to one of totally annoyed!  

I have a camera full of pictures of her grimacing at me for "one more photo".  All in a attempt to capture that moment when she is doing something totally adorable!!  

Then one day I remembered a trick one of our friends used on their little one.  "Show me your teeth"!!!  Ashlyn is obsessed with her teeth right now.  Loves to brush them & show them off!!  And if I ask her to show them, she suddenly doesn't care about the camera anymore & it kinda looks like she smiling!!  WIN!!!  

Here are a few of my successful photos using the "show me your teeth" method :)

Wish me luck that this will continue to work for a few more years!  lol!!!  What tricks do you have to get cute photos with your little ones?
