...to portray deeper emotions in your portraits...
Aldo, am I to assume that you define "deep" emotion as always negative and joyless if not downright mean spirited and grumpy?

Are our clients not being "authentic" if they "dress up" and try to look their very best for a portrait sitting?

I would like to think that some of us are able to see the dignity, worth and beauty of every human being. To portray any less than the very best aspects of the sitter is to do a great disservice to all involved.

Please don't be so quick to pass such a harsh judgement on those of us who are trying to make a decent living by giving our clients what they want. We don't deserve your criticism and scorn.
