Celesa - Stephanie. This was a great post! It is so helpful to see what your settings are with the pictures. You are amazing at what you do. Do you shoot most of your portraits with your 50mm 1.2 lens? I love shooting wide open, but when I have more than one subject I get a little confused at where to place my focal point. What is your mode set at for that? I think some one else asked this question too.

Denise Saucedo - Whoohooo!!! Being that I live in Arizona I find it amazing that I am still always afraid to shoot in the sun. It's scary. Ha! But 4 months out of the year that's just what you gotta do. So I have been practicing. Thanks for this post! I always wondered how your photos looked so gorgeous even in our harsh sunlight. I HAVE to know where the location is of the trees that you took of your brother and his beautiful family was taken. Dreamy. You are awesome girl!

Shannon - Stephanie! Thanks so much for doing this! All this information is awesome!
If you don't mind me asking, what type of AF-Area mode do you use (i'm shooting nikon). I often use single so i can move my focus point around but then have trouble getting both people or all people in focus, even with a higher f-stop. I'm confused by this part in my own shooting. :) Well, again, thanks so much! What a great tut!

Dennis Bullock - Fantastic information Stephanie! This is a huge help for me. You mentioned Lightroom is that what you do your editing in besides sharpening and then use Kubota Magic Sharp?
