I do portrait photography on location and use Photogenic for my main lights and Bowens for my backlights. They are pricey but worth it. They last a long time, at least for me. You should get a padded case to keep them safe given you are traveling with them. You’ll need a couple light stands. A soft box or umbrella should be used to diffuse the light in order to get a nice and evenly lit portrait like you might get on an overcast day using available outdoor light. You’ll need to be sure you have a power source and extension cords unless you plan to use a portable battery.

I would think any freelance photographer would know how to set up a simple lighting grid… 2 lights, 2 umbrellas and a power pack… not exactly difficult for a freelance photographer with your experience.
