Portrait of my youngest....

Shot with my Nikkor 105mm VR Micro, quickly becoming my "go to" portrait lens- this shot shows why....


DSC_2828ww by Matt Francosky, on Flickr

Natural light, nothing setup. I did have to clean some boogers out of her nose in PP. Also, gave the shot an aged look- I like it.

She is beautiful. Do you know the comparable lens for the Nikon D3100. I am a newbie. Bought my camera yesterday to capture my daughters life

You can get that same lens, Nikkor is the name Nikon uses for its lenses. The lens he uses would work just fine with your camera.

The price tag on the 105 VR might be a bit of a shock to a first time shooter, they go for just under $1k (worth every penny for sure). A good first lens purchase is the 35mm 1.8 AF-S, it can be had for around $200 and would be great for low light photos of your daughter.

If the 105mm is in your budget, I highly recommend it.

A SB-600 is another item I have found to be invaluable for photographing children of any age.
