I TOTALLY had school pictures with this background

I mean come on - of COURSE I needed a background like that to coordinate with my crimped hair in a side ponytail

I have submitted the laser pics of my human kittens to Lindsey Jaye's site.

I remember as a teacher having to line kids up for the various backgrounds so the photographer wouldn't have to keep messing with them...

Oh Chris you take us all back to simpler place in time... It's no wonder the CULT loves you so! CCL Carm

In dumb ass private school we don't get to pick our backgrounds.

We have to sit infront of a stupid grey-blue sheet and have that so ALL THE PICTURES ARE THE SAME!

I HATE not being able to be an individual. DAMN YOU! DAMN YOU BLUE-GRAY SHEET!

I personally miss the splattered paint backgrounds

Wow...do any of you guys get choices these days? At my kids' school they are stuck with whatever theme or whatever is chosen for them :(

I had the laser background! Like what's going on? Where are we suppose to be? Smile before one of the colored lasers get you! I remember my mom was not thrilled about the background when I chose it.

and why would we so soon forget the sideways ponytail? aaah classic

God, I miss the 90s. :(

I remember lasers being an option, but my mom wouldn't spring for them. I was kind of jealous of my classmates who did get lasers.

And for the record, I went to a private school too. We had the same photographer every year who was this creeper with long blond hair who would always say "Now say 'cheeseburger'!" Everybody else thought he was funny.
