"camera e boseyo" - look at the camera
"usau boseyo: - please smile
"camera e usau boseyo" - please smile at the camera
Used between close friends, siblings, cosins, and your sweetheart:
"camera e usau ba" - smile at the camera
"usau ba" - smile
"camera ba" - look at the camera
"yaugi ba" - look here
"kimchi" is used by person in the picture - beofre a picture is taken because as you say "kimcheeeeee", you automatiocally simle.

Just say "Kimchi" and point the camera. In all likelyhood you will get a smile and a peace sign. Everyone seems to think the peace sign is a necessary part of a picture here.

Well, I haven't actually heard anyone use that exact sentence when taking a photo...
As the person above mentioned, 'Kimchi' is a common phrase... the Korean equivalent of us saying 'Cheese'..
Another way could be 'Yogi boseyo' (Look here), or if you want to put the sweetheart part, 'Chagiya, Yogi boseyo'...

Ahh...the simple charm a single English sentence creates...
There's no way you can convey that English charm in one fluent Korean sentence. The possible wording sounds too formal, not the casual remark in the way you intend.
You can do the "Hana, dool, set, Kimchi~"
Kimchi is not a charming dish but I guess that's the way to get the meaning across...
You can also try "Yepugay ooseobwah-yo!" (meaning...smile prettily please!)
