I would also consider the 100mm f/2.8 Macro. Excellent bokeh, RAZOR sharp, great DOF control. Even though the focal length may be a little long, it will come in handy for the candid and individual shots. + the lens is built like a tank - you definitely get your moneys worth, the AF is also amazingly quick and the MF has a great feel.
