New (novice) member, seeking lens advise

As a general rule - NEVER buy people something thats about their hobby. UNLESS you have the same hobby and know at least about as much about it as the person in question (but even that is a gamble), OR you have asked the person what (s)he wants.

This is especially true with something like this. Maybe she'd rather have a Nikon F system, or a Sony FE system, or even a micro four thirds, or wants a 8x10 film camera, or whatever. YOU CANNOT KNOW. What system people prefer in photography depends very much on the person in question.

Personally I have been given insane amounts of crap I never bothered with just because people know I was interested in those fields. Yes I am, but I knew a lot more about these fields than they did, and what I received there was simply crap I was not interested in because I already knew that etc.

Does she have a dslr already can the lenses from that be used with this camera.

I would also say the 135 f/2 is a good portrait lens

For portraits, the Canon Prime 50mm F1.8 is a good lens (not on you list). Then the F2.8 70-200mm would be my choices
