Sometimes the main difference between a hobby photographer and a professional is the amount of pictures they take. Remember, you are using digital media, not film, so you are not wasting any money if photos turn out bad; you can always delete them later and reuse the media!

Take lots and lots of photos, with your subject's blessing and patience, of course. Bracket your photos. Experiment with lighting. The more photos you take, the greater the chance that one 'winner' will come out of the bunch, pleasing your client and possibly giving you a recommendation to others for future business.
