Maybe it was just luck than but I always seem to get the aniamls with little or no problems it's just the people that don't seem to look as good after.

It's more them not relaxing. They just look posed and unnatural. The kids I have taken turned out pretty good but the adults not so good.

You have to create a relaxed mood.....even if it is as simple as telling a corny joke......with kids it 's good to have a few props to get their attention.Baby shots I have someone stand behind me with a flashlight and blink it on and off to get their attention
