Where has Canon come from all of a sudden? He is looking for Nikon fit lenses! Any way all lenses are quoted in 35mm terms so for the Nikon the 50 becomes a 75. The Canon 5o becomes an 80 on a Canon crop body as Canons crop factor is 1.6 due to it's sensor being slightly smaller than Nikons.
Back to Duncans point. I think that any of the three lenses originally mentioned would do an excellent job, my thought about the 60 was merely that in an indoors setting which is perhaps a little cramped it would give more scope for longer portraits. The downside is as you say that you would have to be closer to the subject for head and shoulders which might put some sitters off. It all depends how big his studio is, how about a compromise and go for the 90?
