Wow love your work!!!! I am an aspiring photographer...I left my teaching career to persue my love for photography. I also use Canon...haven't upgraded to a bigger camera I currently use a Canon Rebel XSI. I love it!!! I also use a 50mm 1.4 lens. What other lens is great for portrait photography? I love to photograph children..that is my main love. Because I love children and their true spirit. I was thinking about a 85mm 1.8. But, it's pretty close to a 50mm right. I always shoot outside. I do not have a studio yet. I would love it if you could give me some input about lenses. Thank you so much!!!
