I love this lighting! I have tried this many times with some of my portraiture photography but I can never get it right. I have a Canon Rebel XSi and many lenses along with neutral density filters and reflectors. Is there a certain time of day I should be waiting till or is there just a lighting trick or filter I can use?

Hey Charlie,
thanks for the nice comment
I have to say that it also was my first outdoor only
shooting ...
I first tried it with ND filters and speedlites (tried to get
that Emily Soto look 
But these pictures were made in the golden hour without any filter
or fill light. I put the camera into manual mode and tried to
expose for her face. And I knew that I wanted to get this shallow
depth of field, so I started with f2.8 (f2.8 because I had slight
focusing problems with the backlight :/)
Hope that helps you

At this moment, I am entirely thankful for the schooling I have had because I completely understood that!! What camera and lens do you use? I have a canon EOS XS right now but I am saving up for a Canon 5D Mark III!!!

Nice to hear ^^
I'm using a Canon 550D (I think that's a Rebel T2i in the US).
For my portrait stuff I mostly use the Canon 50mm 1.8 or the
Canon 85mm 1.8. I absolutely love the sharpness of those lenses
For a shallow depth of field I sometimes also use a 3 stop ND filter
in the studio.

I have all of those lenses and the ND filters! What about lighting?

For studio stuff?
Normally I tend to use 2 flashes in the front (Beauty Dish and Softbox, google
for Clamshell lighting). For the latest shootings I first added
2 flashes in the back for rim light and for the last shooting another one
for the spot in the back

So lovely! I really like the soft lighting, muted colors and the soft fabric of the dress. It all comes together really well.
