Okay, say cheese.
Can you stand still?
Stand still.
You have to stand still.
Smile.
Look at me.
Look at me!
You have to stand still.
Not so close to the camera.
Now you’re too far away.
A little bit closer.
Way too close.
There.
Perfect.
Put your tongue in your mouth.
Your tongue is still out.
Okay, now smile.
A real smile, please.
Please?
You have to stop moving.
Stop.
Smile.
That’s not a smile!
Stand still.
Like you’re playing freeze dance.
Freeze!
Move your hands. They’re covering your face.
They’re still covering your face.
Stop moving your hands.
Freeze!
Okay, smile.
Come on, please.
One real picture and then you can do a silly face picture.
No, the real one first.
Freeze.
Stand still.
You’re not looking at the camera.
Look at me.
Look. At. Me.
Why is this so hard?
Say cheese!
Say cheese!
You’re not looking at me!
Look at Mommy!
Over here!
Put your hands down.
Freeze.
Please!
I’m begging you.
Just one picture and then we’re done.
This is impossible!
Okay, that’s good.
Say cheese!!
Dear God.
Close enough.

LOL! Had the same issue this weekend for Zoe’s last day of baseball. Ended in tears. I won’t say whose.
