The phrase “say cheese” for photos appears in newspaper articles starting in the 1940s. In 1943, the Oxford English Dictionary cites the phrase being repeated by Joseph E. Davies, who was the United States ambassador (1936-1938) to the Soviet Union and appointed by President Franklin D. Roosevelt. Prior to “saying cheese” other words such as prunes, whiskey, and cheese with crackers were used by photographers to get you to smile.
