Growing up in the digital age

I remember when I was growing up I didn’t particularly like having my photo taken. For one thing you didn’t know how it would turn out until a few days/weeks later and for another, you keep getting yelled at to smile more or smile less or whatever cos film was limited and nobody wanted to take 6-7 shots of the same thing “just to be sure”.
Now however, my daughter loves having her photo taken, simply because she knows that she can see herself in the LCD playback instantaneously. What this also means is that it’s impossible to catch her in a candid moment since she will insist on seeing her picture once she hears the shutter snap and she start posing after that. I wonder what will happen if I shoot her with a film camera
