It's not really as simple as telling you. It's takes years of practice to become a good portrait photographer.

I'm not there yet, but this is what I think would work:
1. Start by reading the hundreds (thousands) of posts here and elsewhere to get an understanding of the basics;
2. Practice for thousands of shots;
3. If you need it sooner, hire someone who has already completed the first two steps.

Good luck.

People skills, technical skills, composition skills, business skills, lighting skills. Master all them, and you're good. It may take ten years of constant effort.

I'm not sure the perfect portrait has ever been taken.

And then theres what type of portraits do you want to take? do you want to take a commercial approach which are portraits that try and make people look better than they actually do by using flattering lighting, pre-established poses, make up, hair, retouching etc or the type that try and say something honest about the person much like the way Arnold Newman, Bresson, Eisenstadt, Evans, Lange approached it?

Well, I was going to get 2 of them... ya know, you always want to have a backup just in case.

Then, I decided that I'm going to stick with Canon for a bit longer, so I picked up a 70-200 f/2.8 IS II today ;-)a
