Trying to decide on a portrait background

Dh isn't nuts about the idea, but I am taking the girls to Walmart to have a portrait done for the family who likes portraits even if dh doesn't. to him. Having a portrait taken is not a comment on his photography skills. It is a comment more on how he never prints out photos than anything else. At any rate, I am trying to pick a background from the choices here: PictureMe Portrait Studios - View All

The girls are both going to be in the photo. I am doing the cheap, one pose method. I thought I would like the tree until I saw the photo with the kid in front of the tree, then I hated it. They will be in matching pink shorts outfits. Pick something other than the tree, because i don't like the tree.

I like the "Pure Light".
I think the busy backgrounds take away from the person in the picture, but that's just me.

I like the plan grass one for that reason. I wish they had more examples of two people in the picture. Some of those backgrounds look fine with one kid, but I don't know how they would look with two.

Enchanted Forest is my favorite (and Ally's I am supposed to tell you). I also like the Wildflowers, Pure Light and Purple Skies. Blue muslin will work for anything, but that is the kind of background schools use. Kinda plain, but it goes with everything.

She asked me if she could do anything she wanted because she had an idea. So, I said okay and the pics turned out fantastic! I am very pleased. I ended up spending way more than I planned, but dh liked the photos too, so he didn't gripe too much. She used the white curtain background.

I liked the white muslin. Is that what she used? I was trying to think about the outfits you said they would wear.

I got them matching bright pink outfits. I already checked the Walmart site. The pics aren't up yet. It may take up to 48 hours. I will post the link here when they are up.

It was very white - like a sheet.
