Capturing Smiles, Taking better pictures

When I try to take a picture of Ila smiling, I end up with a lot of pictures that look like this:IMG_8427-1 Not only does she stare at the camera instead of me, but when the camera flashes she seems a little startled by it and I end up with pictures that have what I like to refer to as ‘Crazy Eyes.’  If I turn the flash off, it slows the shutter speed and the pictures turn out blurry.IMG_8482 The solution is to take the pictures outside (or in highly lighted places).  Since the camera doesn’t need the flash, I don’t end up with crazy eyes and I can capture more natural facial expressions.IMG_8499
