I've subscribed to your RSS but -- I hope you don't mind me saying this -- every time I surf your blog I lose the browser navi, which is terribly irritating. It's your thing but, personally, I'd give users the decision whether to run in marquee or not. Incidentally I have an image which illustrates the tight DoF thing for which we were striving, if you're interested. No great shakes apart from that.

This seems to work most of the time. Also need to think about how much contrast around the focus area - should not have been a problem for this situation. Either way I got a fair few less than perfect shots and I certainly can't claim lack of chance to learn the camera :-) If time / brain allows I normally shoot with a single focus point selected (usually an outer one) so that this is around the eye region when shooting a vertical portrait.

I usually leave comments of what's coming up on the blog; sometimes not as early as I'd like. But you'll notice that March's session is already listed on the end of this month's blog. But I appreciate your comments and will try to be more efficient in the future. The studio facility isn't always the fastest because the newsletter has to go to press so far ahead of time.

Preparation is important. Perhaps you could post details like this on this blog, in future, and specifically direct people to it via the studio publicity?
