For informal portraits, your subjects don't HAVE to look at the camera. Have them look off to the side a bit, not just with their eyes, but with the whole head. May take a bit of planning as you probably would want everyone in the picture to look at the same thing.

Very good Esther, I have a constant battle with my neice every time I want to shoot her 5 year old he gets a stupid "Goofy" smile as I call it on his face. I tell him don't smile and it upsets his mother till I showed her two different shots, one with him looking off a bit now she never says anything.
