I always tell guests that if you want your photo taken with the castle, the hat, the tree, spaceship earth, have more than one photographer do it. Our photographers come in all ability levels and personalities. Watch them with another family. Do they have energy, personality, enthusiasm; or do they say "ok, everyone smile."? Have your picture taken three times with the castle in different locations. Then you have a choice. Also, don't take a photo if you are all looking into the sun. Do as the family above did: wait till the sun isn't in your eyes and take a nice photo with no sunglasses. OK, Dad could have smiled, but Dad's almost never do, so ... whatever. Also, if you have strollers, take your children out of the strollers and don't have the stoller in the photo. And if you can teach your kids to giggle rather than smile, you generally get a more natural looking smile. Then it involves the whole face, not just the mouth.
