Don't. He is gorgeous just the way he is. Candid/natural photos are the best ones, even when taken at a professional photographers........let him be. He may decide to do that 'say cheese' thing as he gets older.

I had an afterthought ...you say he "is not a natural in front of a camera"...and yet you define this as being "put into a formal pose and asked to smile"....which is about as unnatural as it gets for a kid. I bet he is 'natural' for those special candid shots...and feels like a fake for the formal ones. He IS gorgeous! Inside and out......

you need him to say something funny after a countdown of 3, like monkeys. then take the photo at the end of the word while he is naturally smiling. that's how we take kids portraits.
