Very lovely, as others have said, Lisa.
When you do a shoot like this, do you bracket aperture, that is to say bracket depth of field? I ask because as one who shoots in very much this type of setting, and with the same lenses you do, I somewhat often find I've missed a better shot by not closing the aperture to some modest degree. In my mind, your series above would be stronger with a greater field depth - as many of my own images would have been if I had not worked at, or near, the maximum aperture. The point of bracketing is, of course, that you can decide which is best later, or occasionally even create composites.
But the fear that ones gives of the magic of a 1.2 or 2.0 lens by stopping down to the 2.5 to 4 range, depending on subject distance, I have learned (the hard way), is generally unfounded in scenes like this.
Just my thoughts.
