The camera phenomenon

I'm sure you have noticed in most pictures that Bella does not often smile for the camera. It's not that she doesn't smile, she actually smiles quite often. It's just that our camera has this red light that comes on and stays on, regardless of the light in the room, which immediately grabs her attention and makes her intently stare at it. And most times she is sensitive to the flash, so often we catch the picture, after she has reacted to the flash. So we try really hard to get her to still look at the camera, but not directly at the light, and maybe once in a while....actually smile!

Staring at the red light........

Oh wait....we got the tail end of a smile....right after the flashAhh success, we caught a smile!!!
