Default Getting your subject(s) to relax?

I often see really fun portraits where the person is laughing or at the very least really genuinely smiling and I was wondering how you helped them to relax infront of the camera. Or another issue I face is that my mom has her 'camera' smile. It is very annoying that ever single time the camera is pointed in front of her she smiles the exact same way and it looks fake.

How do you invoke reactions/emotions from the subjects your shooting?
