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!

  4. I love that photo, she looks so beautiful!
    I remember trying to get my teen boys trying to smile when I took photos.

  6. 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.

  7. 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!

  18. 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!

  23. 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!

  28. 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.

  29. I love those moments with my kids! Granted, they don’t happen very often….I love that picture of Julia. So natural and happy.

  35. 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.

  40. 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!

  48. I love getting shots of my boys at the playground too. I think that are just so happy to be there that it makes getting good photos easy. Great shot!

  50. 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!
