My two smallest ones are like that. They just try so hard to get away. My secret to getting pictures of them is to be quick. Another thing I will do is just let them tire themselves out before trying to get pictures. Mine either run up my arm and I grab them before they to my shoulder or they like to jump out of my hands onto my bed. I don't really recommend this, but I have gently held their tails before to get a good picture too. I don't do it often and I don't recommend it because I would hate to see a gecko lose it's tail from handling.

I learned pretty fast the that little ones will try to make any jump even if your hand is a foot from what they are trying to jump too. Sitting on my bed is the best way for me to handle mine since I usually sit in the center and I can reach pretty much anywhere they jump to easily.
