Welcome to TP :)

If you've got a kit lens, then using that around 50mm is just about perfect. Sorted :thumbs:

If portraiture is really your thing, then the nifty-fifty, ie 50mm f/1.8 lens is a good idea. They are cheap, sharp, and good for portraits as you can use f/1.8 which gives very shallow depth of field and is a great portrait technique.
