Ah, Peter beat me to it!

If you're going to do outdoor shots, make sure the lighting is not too bright and directly overhead. Late evening light can be very flattering. Think about the direction of the light relative to your subject, look at the shadows being cast, use a reflector to fill in the dark bits as needed. Don't use on-camera flash (as a general rule).
