Do you think you might end up reducing the contrast on the hat to make it less dominant?

Yes.

Working at the client's home or outdoors makes taking good photos so much harder!

I agree. Shadow patterns are a very important part of composition and take some planning.
Taking "snapshots" in places where there is no light/shadow control is a crap shoot at best.
I really believe that poor photographic reference material is the biggest problem I see repeatedly in this Forum. It prevents a lot of otherwise skilled and talented artists from ever being successful in portraiture.
This is a good topic for all of us Michael - thanks for starting it.
