I get comments all of the time asking how I get the kids to pose for me like they do. I don't do a thing. I don't pose them. I don't ask them to do anything. Usually I have something different in mind than what they give me. How could I possibly convince a 3 year old to point her toes straight out? :) In fact, I wanted her to sit up and talk to me. She wanted to do this. I like her idea better.
