I have a canon t6i and only have the lens that came with it.
I’m shooting more portraits and family shoots now. Any lens recommendations?

The EF-S 18-135 is a very sharp and good all around lens for a crop frame camera.

What has your research recommended? What is the lens that came with this thing.

Take a real good look at the results you are getting. Are they sharp? How is the exposure? Do others like the images you are capturing? If yes to all of these a new lens will not improve your shooting.
If the answer is no, then you need to look at your technique and/or take a photo course.

A lens with a larger aperture would allow perhaps greater bokeh and shallower DOF for your portraits. I would consider the 50 or 85mm primes at f/1.8 or f/1.4 depending on the money you might spend. Personally I love the 85mm f/1.8 as it is very sharp, fast focusing and relatively inexpensive. But I use it on FF and 1.3 crop body cameras.

I have a 50mm f 1.8 for my t2i. It cost me $125 from Canon Refurb, great lens for closeups and portraits - sharp focus.

On an APC camera (T6i) your best bet is the EF 50mm f/1.8.
To our OP: Take this suggestion for the 50 f/1.8 ^^^^^

I also have the Canon T6i. Have a Canon EF-S 10-18 MM for wide angle, a Sigma 18-250 macro that I keep on the camera most all the time, and a and Tamron EF 60 mm f:2 macro for portraits.I find these combinations cover most all of my photograph needs.
Also have a Panasonic DC-ZS70 with a Leica lens that I use for travel.

Yes, the 50mm f1.8 lens should serve you well...and I am not a Canon shooter.
