I'm working today on taking the 3-month pictures of my daughter, I showed my wife one of the pictures and she said that she didn't like the use of the purple seamless paper background. What do you think? Should I change it?

Cute expression!! I agree, they are very stark. I would soften them a bit...I like the black background...

I think the purple or the white work best...the blue, pink, and yellow have that dark line around the top of the head that make it seem too photoshopped in my opinion.

Yeah, they were just quickly photoshopped to show a couple of the different color seamless paper backgrounds that I could use on a re-shoot. I wasn't planning on using this picture with a changed (photoshopped) background. Make sense?

Hmmm, maybe nice freshly mowed St. Augustine grass in front of a colorful playset, or pool? Blue sky and green grass, the colors of life to go with the fresh little people look ;)

Just a thought.

Love every minute of it!

If I had to choose it would be the purple, but I agree that it would help if the colours werent so vibrant.
