hello Katiee, I do portraits all the time. im still in the learning process as well been shooting about a year or so. I think you are straight with what you have. I shoot 90% of my portraits with my 50mm 2.8 and get great results. if you have that 70-200mm 2.8 that is an awesome lens and is good for head shots and 3/4 body shots and will really blow out the background and really look great! I also don't use any lighting...I like natural light. you will be good with what you got. you have a good camera its all good. just work with the natural light and find nice lightly shaded areas. |

Might be too late now but I would highly recommend the 85mm 1.8g. I know many are not all too fond of that focal length for DX crop but I personally love it for an affordable way of getting portraits where you can blow the background out completely. It's closer to your price range as well in comparison to the 70-200 2.8 in case you might not be able to borrow one day

Sorry if I'm a little late on replying but I think you should try different things. I say this because unlike ac12basis, I like using my big 200mm when doing family pics...not all the time, but in some cases I love it. |

Each to their own but I would continue to learn via books, tutorial videos, looking at other work for inspiration. I personally use a 50mm or 17-50mm depending on how many people, the set up etc. |
