Stick to Canon or nikon lenses pending on what she has. Sigma and tamron are good third party lense as well.
As for the distance themselves. You'll need to judge that. 100mm-300mm is a very reasonable distance for most shooting.
The other thing to look at is the f stop. Lower the number, the more blurry the surrounding will be that you're not focused on.
