1) background is key. 
2) Use both auto and manual focus

I love these two photos because the first one is simple and beautiful! The second one is goofy yet serious. 


Planning ahead-
 I plan to take a simple cute portrait, with either a plan white background. Maybe in front of a wall, or in the green courtyard. I'll use auto and even manual focus as well.
