    #2 is beautiful, well they all are, but 2 is my favorite. Care to share your lighting setup for it? Was it natural?

    Thank you very much! All the lighting is natural.. and I mainly used a Canon 50mm 1.4. For #'s 5 & 6, I used a Canon 70-200mm 2.8L. Let me know if there is anything else you'd like to know

    I'd have to agree with #2 and #5 as well. #6 is good as well but suffers from the car in the background.

    These are nice and yes the fifty is a great choice for portraits on a DX or FX body.

    There are some things that should be considered for the next shoot though.
    First off, I would take a little more time selecting the areas in which to shoot or be a little more aware of what's viewable in the background.
    Things like horizontal lines as in #1, the AC unit in #4, the car in #5 and the array of items in #6.
    These are things that can be a bit distracting to the portrait and even more so if there is not a strong "pull" towards your models eyes.
    A few steps to the right or left could have changed some of these, others would have benefited from a different location all together.

    Also, I would watch "static center" as in #1 and 3 as well as cropping for headroom and of limbs taking care not get too close to the joints.

    I like the color temps you chose for these and the skin tones are pleasant.

    Two is my fave but I would have preferred a crop or change to eliminate the vertical band on the left. I like that she is making eye contact with you :-)

    #5 is my fave.

    And the weather cooperating is ALWAYS a plus, it was chilly enough to see our breaths this morning at the bus stop in south Louisiana this morning. I love every second of it!!
