Skip the big "say cheese"
Instead of asking for a big smile, ask for a soft smile or a tiny grin. Kids relax faster with smaller prompts.
Use a tiny joke
A short, silly line can break the tension. Keep it quick so the smile stays genuine.
Count down from three
A short countdown helps kids focus. Take the photo on one, not zero.
Praise the effort
A simple "That looks great" keeps the mood positive and reduces stress for the next shot.
