This is something I run into a lot when trying to photograph my daughter. I haven't had her sit for a portrait or anything like that, but trying to get a 'natural' look out of her is maddening if she knows there is a camera pointed that way. She is seven.
What I try to do is basically set the aperature, and then get in focus with the shutter button half down and wait until she isn't expecting or ready. Then I say something to make her look my way and then click.
Or take a lot of shots in hope of catching 'that moment'...times like that I think of how much I'm not spending on film...or using my film cameras for that.
