Ryan Allison Nice pics. Definitely can’t tell you’re new. If it helps Barnes and noble has several great portraits books for about $20-35 each. Along with posing, couple posing, lights etc.
Very slight cc, pics with the foliage maybe don’t stand so close to the trees and bushes. Especially with such a fast lens. Bc they were in focus too and takes away from that background separation you want, and the bokeh too.
