Talk to me about "regular clothes"
When our kids are little it is easy to put them in an adorable outfit from ON, TCP, or GAP...and they look all preppy and cute like little models in our photo shoots...
But then they grow up and want to wear t-shirts with goofy sayings and stuff on them...So normally I still try to shove Nathan in a cute fleece or something if I know we're going to do a photo shoot...but then there are days like today. It was Naomi's birthday so I didn't figure Nathan would have a photo shoot...but when I saw how cute he looked by the barn, I took some photos. I love the photos but I hate that he's wearing a t-shirt. Do you think it detracts from the photo or draws your attention to the wrong thing (as in, away from his face?) What is your stance on everyday clothes in pictures? YKWIM...if anyone would know what I mean, it's you girls. Obviously I'll scrap this photo but I still wish he had on a button up or a hoodie or something without a screenprint. Oddly enough he HAD on a hoodie but it got too warm LOL!

I think it's alright to have some pics in tees! lol, I used to always try to dress my girls for the occasion, or only take pics on days they're even dressed
 , but I gave up. Heck, if they run around in panties all day, I'm still gonna snap some shots of it(not necessarily to scrap, lol). Although, I do get disappointed too when I get that really great shot, then realize you can see up their skirts, or they're not wearing pants!!! And of course I love those pics I look back on and think "omg, her diaper is seriously drooping!!! How did I not notice?"But really, that is a great pic, and him being in a tee doesn't take away from it at all!!

Avery's always in regular clothes lol..unless we're going to church or somewhere nice. My mama always made us change out of our "good clothes" as soon as we walked in the door so I guess it's carried over into my life too lol...Most of the pics I scrap of him he's in a t-shirt and shorts or jeans and he's only 3

"Regular clothes" = regular life. Life isn't a photo shoot!
Scrap it!

Well, I said in my original post that I was going to scrap it...that was never a question...I guess I was just wondering if I was the only one who thinks about stuff like that. Apparently I am.

Nope, you aren't the only person that thinks like that. I am obsessive with what my DS wears. People think I am nuts. I'd def scrp that picture but I would also obsess over the fact that "If only he was wearing this..." KWIM? It is a great pic, don't get me wrong, but I am with you, I always dress for photoshoots. And, since I take pics of everything, DS is almost always "overdressed" by most people's standards lol.

we only own regular clothes. but I do still think about where we are going & what they are wearing if I know I am going to take photos. they pick their own clothes so in the end all I can do is say "How about something other than bright blue or grey today when we visit the pumpkin patch? How about nothing with dinosaurs on it? How about something brown? Maybe this with the gold stripe on the front?"
I never really succeed though. DS1 wore his grey & red dino shirt and DS2 his blue Star Wars shirt to the pumpkin festival last week.

I wish that I could get my older boys to dress in something other than jeans and a t-shirt. Heck - I wish I could get my DH to dress in something other than jeans and a t-shirt. But, boys will be boys and that is all that they ever want to wear. DH just laughs at me because I "play dress up" with Avery (our 8 month old) because he is too young to object.
I do think like you, however, and look at many of my pics thinking it would be perfect if only they were wearing something different. I wish photoshop came with an option to change their clothes with the click of a button. If it's not the clothes, I am stressing about the fact that you can see the mess in our house in the background.
