I use my 70-200 f2.8 alot. Letts me getaway from the subject and get good depth of field.

Then let the back ground be further behind the subject so you can get good depth of field. I do not do a lot of portraits. I do several senior shoots all outside.

If this is an outside shoot watch the shadows!

Bring a reflector! anything white will do or crumple up tinfoil and tape it to cardboard.
