Nope I have two boys...

Why do you ask?

Kinda one of those multifunctional reasons pending answer but...

I was curious because a girl I am frequently working with runs for the hills when a camera comes out.


the Christmas portraits for her mom did not go over too well due to this reasent camerashyness she developed.

Hmm odd... I have nieces who also love posing for the camera.

Yeah, this is becomming somewhat problematic for me, her older brother...I can get him to stop and get a desent face shot just about anywhere any time but with her it's a arguement and a half to get her to even look at the camera, and even if I do get her to face me she turns away and/or buries her face as the last second.

Sounds like you need to talk to her and find out why. There might be an issue there..

I've tried that, She won't answer....well she will...a half chuckled "I Don't Know" but there is more to it than that, I know it

Yeah I've learned beating them into submission doesn't work... (I am just kidding (it works most of the time (still just kidding)) A good talk usually does help.

Well it sounds like you need to figure out how to make her comfortable with the camera...
Like hold it on your lap for awhile, and let her get used to it. and then move it around, and let her get used to that.. put it up to chest level, and start clicking the camera (only if it is digital) all the while helping her to get used to it.
Or you can get an el cheapo camera and let her take pictures of you and other kids. That would help her get used to the camera.

Being as I am primarily film option one is out along with a couple other facets, but she is old enough I could prolly get her a camera to play with, perhaps it may be helpful. My sister lets my neice play with her digi all the time and she does not do any of that running stuff, it's worth a try.
