Excellent images for sure! I agree that the D750 and 85 f/1.8 G make a great pair for portraits.

I used to shoot with the 85 F1.8G on D610 and my older D5100, but didn't use much on the D750 as I was in love with the 70-200 2.8.

Recently, I restarted shooting with the 85F1.8G and loving it as a fantastic budget portrait lens.

Here is a set of shots I took with the D750 + 85 1.8G combination. Models were my little 6-year-old daughter and my friend's 2-year-old daughter.

The combo works really well and after fine tuning, it is producing images I really like.

Hope you like the images

I would encourage you to proactively pick out less distracting, more complimentary backgrounds instead of just relying on extremely shallow dof to turn them into mottled blobs of blurriness.

Especially like the diagonal cropping of the B&W shots.

The quality of this lens wide open is amazing,

Love the way the two year old looks she has been caught doing something she shouldn't

Agree with Suntan regarding the "busy" backgrounds on some.

Regards

Mike

Did you use a flash for these or just natural light?
