Just remember being photographed is way scarier than photographing someone for the first time. My big break-through about being nervous photographing people, was when I realized they were way more nervous than I was! The best advise I can give about being nervous is, be calm and talk to your photo subject, listen to them, and observe them. Do this and it will be easier to decide how to photograph them.
Ask your subject questions about themselves, about their family. Ask them anything to get them not thinking about the
photography process. Before you know it, they'll be so relaxed and enjoying being photographed. And this will allow you take a better portrait.
