There were so many responses and most I guess needed more detail so I wanted to add. As mentioned before I am shooting a Canon 6DMARKII and I own a 50mm and a 85mm F1.8 USM models. They are great lens and have attached a photo of one recent shoot in my living room with lighting and umbrella set.
My reason for asking is because I am getting more and more request for photos done outdoors using different things for backdrops. By request of clients some want the background blurred and some want some focus on the background. I am still learning to work with clients as before my interest was more into landscape and animal photos.
1st photo is shot with 50mm indoors with lighting.
2nd photo is shot outdoors with Godox speed light mounted to stand and remote on camera hotshoe.
3rd was very first actual person I worked with and was shot with 24-105mm f4 IS lens with Godox speed light mounted directly to the camera.
In closing I need a portrait lens that I can use for outdoor models. All these were shot hand help but do own and use a ball head made by Hedysn with a supporting weight of up to 17 pounds since I bought it to use my 150-600mm Tamron G2 lens for shooting Eagles with.

LR is non destructive, so whether you start from RAW or JPEG, you can't "destroy" the initial file and can always revert back to the original if you find yourself on a deadend. The suggestion above for free video training in portrait photography is equally applicable for Adobe software training. I forget from our earlier discussions if we set-up a dropbox. If interested in looking at the technical details of the original files and ideas for LR processing, shoot me your personal email address via a PM and we can look into the details, specifically the AF mode and AF point locations. One of the magics of LR is the ability to share edits back n forth so you can import in a DNG file and see all the slider changes made. I've found this approach very effective as showing how the LR tools combine together to accomplish an edited result.
