One of the largest advantages to owning a DSLR camera as opposed to a point and shoot is the ability to control the depth of a picture you are taking. The main trick is to get your aperture as small as possible. If your lens shoots from f/4.0-5.6, you want it to be on 4.0. The faster the lens the better. One of our best depth of field lenses is our 50mm f/1.8 lens. It really gets in there and blurs the rest. Another thing is to try and get some space between the light source in the background and your subject. That will make it easier to pull your subject out into focus. I like to use our telephoto lens, but that can be a little trickier because when zoomed in, your lens slows down. That means your are going to have to hold it steady to get that shot without any camera shake. The best lens I have ever used for this purpose is the Canon 70-200mm IS L series. It really made it easy.
