The only interruption in our photoshoot was Destiny. A while back, she was nervous about being watched while taking pictures. At age 6, when your dad tells you to stand on a busy street and stare at the fence a half block away, you're definitely a little self-conscious.
I don't remember how we arrived at this solution, but when Destiny is feeling watched by someone, she smiles and waves at whoever is present. Who can resist smiling and waving back? If you're doing something silly and strangers smile and wave at you, it's nearly impossible to feel dumb. Our photoshoot was interrupted by little bursts of Destiny friendliness, needing me to wait only a fraction of a second on pressing the shutter.
