Hrm...I'm not trying to limit you or anything...but it's only the 3rd or 4th time you've used the camera and you're trying to shoot Senior Portraits? No offense but I don't really think you're qualified to do that type of work with your experience level.
For one, you'll either need some good Flash equipment or you need to move to a better part of the day (best time is just after sunrise or just before sunset -- positioned so the sun is hitting the person with the angle you want it). Then you'll need a tripod, use Center-point focus, and focus on the eyes.
I get what you're saying. It was a family friend. Not for $.
It was horribly rainy that day, but I live about 2 hrs from them and we were both working on a limited time schedule so we had to get it done. Circumstances were definitely not the best to take pictures, BUT neither was I. Like I said, still learning.
