"Being silly can often bring the sweetest photos that allow you to capture natural smiles," said Gerulat. (Nicole Hill Gerulat)

"If your child will not smile, try having them "race" or run towards you," said Gerulat.  "Jumping up and down sometimes works, too." (Nicole Hill Gerulat)

"Remember that not every family photo needs to be smiling at the camera," said<a target="_blank" href="http://WWW.nicolesclasses.com/"> Nicole Hill Gerulat</a>, commercial kids photographer and owner of Nicole's Classes.
