From what I've heard, you already have a "bag of primes" in the 16-55. For outdoor portraits the 90mm is amazing IF you have enough space. Need about 10m to fit a 6ft human and works well for 1m high mini-persons at 4-5m distance so you don't interfere in their play space.

Haha very true on the 90, as great of a lens as it is... I struggle sometimes to be able to back up enough outdoors even using the 60mm...Being outdoors doesn't always mean in an open field...it could mean backing up into a street, around a tree, on side of a cliff, through dense grass, or a bunch of ant beds if you're shooting in somewhat "wild" locations.
