Liz is brand new to modeling but very photogenic. Her complexion is nearly flawless. She takes direction extremely well and the lens loves her, as you can see from the photos. Her husband Jesse came along too and I promptly put him to work holding the flash and taking meter readings!
Every one of them was shot with my "go to" portrait lens, the 180mm f/2.8 ED AIS Nikkor, except the 4th one, which was shot with the 105mm f/1.8 AIS Nikkor, but only because we were on a small deck and I did not have enough room to use the 180mm. It is needle sharp, with a good, but not great, bokeh and at f/4 the depth of field is nil so it does a really great job of separating model from background.
This one is the "money shot" for the whole shoot:
