Hi Linda,
Whew, there is a lot to think about in your post . . .

I wouldn't be too concerned about the composition being dictated by specifics like 'head and shoulders', etc. because I think from seeing your work that when you sit down with a client and especially begin a photo session for the portrait, your natural talent for great compositions will shine through. I think the guidelines are okay because it gives people an idea about what you'll be charging for a half figure, for instance. I think people want to know if it's $3000 or $20,000 for example.
I am still thinking about the rest of your post and will add more later, but right now I need to get the kids fed and off to 'twilight camp' for the evening.
