Daughter and her fiance were supposed to come over this weekend for some portraits, but they couldn’t make it. Sweetie kindly consented to being my model.
He’s such a good sport!
And then he invited me to join the party . . .

Carissa, I love these they are so good. Ok question time, are you focussing on your sweetie and then setting the timer and joining in on the photo. What aperture? f/5.6? Are you focussing then switching lens from AF to MF to keep the focus?

Yes, focusing on him, setting timer and getting in the shot. Aperture was 8.0 in manual mode.
