Camera Fickle Julia Decides to Smile…
Getting shots of Susan’s oldest daughter Julia has never been easy. She has a mind of her own! But a few weeks ago, I had my camera at the playground with her and my son Jackson. Julia kept asking me to take her photo and posing for me! It was fabulous — I wish she were always so fond of modeling for me.
Post a photo on your site, link up and find others… Wordless Wednesday is tons of fun. (And I know it says “wordless” but I just can’t bear to not write anything! If I had created it, I probably would have named it something different! LOL)
Here is a fun thumbnail linky…
But if you prefer the old style, you can use this linky:
Thanks to Uisce for creating Wordless Wednesday.

Did you know that Susan and I own two online toy stores where you can find unique toys for Christmas like a pedal car or an inspiring toy kitchen. You know, in case Santa needs any ideas!
Stephanie says
She is BEAUTIFUL (just like her mama!).
Self Sagacity says
She looks a lot like you! My Trinity is not there yet.
Susan says
I love this photo of my Julia because she loves to have her hair messy… this is so her!!!
Lorie Shewbridge says
I love that photo, she looks so beautiful!
I remember trying to get my teen boys trying to smile when I took photos.
Kristie says
Great picture! I love when the kids actually want to get photographed.
Felissa says
Thank you for the link up. I am so glad she let you take a picture of her. She looks like she is having fun on the Jungle Gym and it is a really nice picture.
Lucinda says
What a doll! Looks a bit like her momma.
I have a reluctant model too…but sometimes she will just let loose and be a real poser for me. That’s when the real clown inside her shows through.
Congratulations on the capture Janice!
Lisa says
Oh, she’s GORGEOUS! What a beautiful shot!
Joanna says
I love that casual smile- just beautiful!
Elizabeth says

Isn’t it great when they let you take their picture?! My two turn their heads most of the time they see the camera… so frustrating!

I know what you mean; it’s rare that I can get my son to pose for a shot or let me take a serious picture without him sticking out his tongue or making a goofy face!

Love the moment you captured. My oldest is 7 now and getting to be less willing to pose for me with the camera. I miss my ham who was always willing to help me out.

What a pretty picture. Perfect shot.
Jennifer says
I have a four year old who is still in the “no picture” phase. My older two are a little more agreeable. The posing may never stop now, but at least all of the snapshots will make for great memories.
Mimi says
I love her “I’ve been playing” hair! It’s so great when they start liking their picture being takine!
Diana - Teacher Mom says
Julia’s smile is infectious. By the by, I wish I had your photography skills…
Vanessa (Chefdruck) says
Beautiful shot, love the colors, so fall, yet so girly.

How cool that she finally posed for you! That is a really adorable picture 🙂
Tammi says
My girls do the same thing! I have to butter my daughter up for a smile, “wow, that is one great shirt you are wearing! it’s a nice color! and your hair, it’s perfect today!!….btw, can I take a picture?”
Then, maybe I’ll get a smile.
🙂
She’s a sweetie Jan!

How cute, Janice. She is just darling. My son still (at 9 years old) doesn’t like his photo taken. He can’t sit still long enough… lol!
