Trying to make my 2 yr old smile.

My lil girl wanted to dress up like Tinkerbell, so I tried to get some pics. It was pretty difficult to get her to smile at the camera.
I tried some different stuff with the PP, let me know what you think.

Thanks.

Love no 5, very nice set, i like your pp

I like these shots and the post-production. Getting the little rascals to smile is always a challenge though!

Getting two year olds to smile IS always a challenge, but when they aren't going for it, why push it? I'd rather get "wide eyed innocent" than a forced smile, so I prefer to work with what they are willing to give me. I find that when I have a kid that is serious, I tailor the poses to fit the mood. Your daughter is adorable! I miss having kids that age. Two of my grandkids are teenagers now, but they are girls, so smiles come much easier!

Thanks for the advice. It is easier to go with the flow than to waste time forcing a smile.
