I am very limited at this time as to my selection of lenses and know that neither of the ones I currently have are best for shooting portraits. I do realize that an 85mm f/1.8 would be a much better lens for this type of photography, however, until that oportunity comes through, I will be doing the best I can with what I have.

I think in your position, if you are a member of a local photography club, I'd ask along one of the members who has done well in the portrait section to assist and advise. If you are not a member of a local club maybe this is a good reason to join. I've found being a member of my local club to be invaluable in improving my phototgraphy and thereby making it more enjoyable. Good Luck with your shoot.
