Smiles are overrated. Well... sometimes anyway. Typically the smile is a key ingredient in good portraits, but sometimes good portraits don't need them. Some of my favorite portraits depict a very natural, un-smiley face.
I find that most subjects really appreciate when I tell them they don't need to smile. When they get to stop smiling they get very relaxed... And when they get very relaxed they look very natural.
