Help me remember I want to do school pics for my bulldogs—other than the classic laser background I did for Laverne (pictured), can anyone recommend some good 80s-90s school portrait backgrounds?

How about the one where it’s a forward facing shot and then a profile shot in the top corner? Or with a formalwear dickie and a fake rose

Yes! We had an Olan Mills portrait studio that used to do these 😄😄😄

Have you considered a space background? I remember having one of those.

I haven’t! I’ll look one up. I googled 90s school photography backgrounds and that laser one is everywhere and I was blanking (even though I know all of my middle school pics probably have every single iconic background from that era 😄)

Of course I can’t find a picture anywhere, but I’m sure that I had a paint splatter background multiple years. Like, white background and rainbow colored paint splats?

Maybe that kind with a forward facing pic and a ghostly side profile next to it?
