Subject Mark isn't working

So, I started playing with Sims 2, and I've FINALLY become a full member, yay!

I'm encountering an issue with my freelance photographer. I've got a photo studio room with two straight backdrops, some lights, my tripod and camera, and a subject mark in front of the backdrops. When I try to photograph a model, I click on the subject mark and select for the model to pose. The model walks to the mark and I immediate select the tripod and select to take a picture of the model. My sim then stands there not doing anything for several seconds before trying to take the picture. In the mean time, the model has wandered off, usually to the opposite side of the tripod.

I tried to anticipate, and selected to photograph the model as soon as she started walking to the mark. Again she wandered off before my sim started, but only a couple of steps which put her right in front of the camera, too close to take a good photo. Any suggestions, besides trying a different career?
  • It took about 7 game hours for 3 Sims and a cameraman to successfully lineup for a photo.

    So just about as long as it takes them to eat breakfast. ?
